The mid-size 325F compact radius excavator features a powerful and fuel-efficient Cat C4.4 Tier 4 Final, ACERT engine paired with a responsive state-of-the-art hydraulic system (113-gpm hydraulic flow).
Compared with its Cat 321D Tier 3 predecessor, the 325F can run on biodiesel up to B20, and will consume up to 22% less diesel fuel (based on engineering validation), with no loss of swing torque and bucket and stick forces. With a maximum lifting capacity of 27,000 lbs. at 15 ft. over the front at ground level, the 325F exceeds its predecessor model’s capacity by 8%.
The 325F features proven electronic, fuel, air and aftertreatment components such as a maintenance-free diesel particulate filter, and it has isochronous control that automatically manages pump and engine speed for improved fuel efficiency. Boom and stick recirculation valves reduce fuel consumption and speed up cycle times, and a choice of three power modes (high power, standard and eco) helps the operator more actively manage fuel consumption.
- Offers a 22-ft. maximum dig depth and 45,591 lbs. of drawbar pull
- Variable-speed fan for less energy consumption and noise, high-ambient cooling capability and altitude capability up to 9,840 ft. with no engine de-rating
- Front swing radius of 7 ft. 8 in. and tailswing radius of 5 ft. 8 in. enable work within a 13-ft. 4-in. space
- ROPS with viscous mounts and lining and sealing to reduce vibration and sound
- Standard fully adjustable heated seat, adjustable armrests, joystick consoles and large LCD monitor
- Most maintenance points easily reached at ground level
- High-pressure fuel system with newly designed pump and injectors and a high-efficiency filtration system
- Modified X-frame design and robotically welded front linkage ensure durability and performance
- Heavy-duty undercarriage uses massive track frames, heavy-duty track rollers, forged carrier rollers and grease-lubricated track links
