Large Excavator

340

With up to 10 percent more productivity than the model it replaces, the Cat® 340 is the best in its class for moving tons per hour. Add in the excavator’s low owning and operating costs and you will profit like nobody’s business.

Add To Compare

The C9.3B engine generates more power than the 2020 model year 336 engine.
More power to the pumps, wider undercarriage, and heavy counterweight enable up to 10 percent more productivity.
Match the excavator to the job with three power modes – Power, Smart, and Eco. Power mode is maximum power all the time. Smart mode automatically matches engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions, providing maximum power when needed and reducing power when it isn’t to help save fuel. Eco mode reduces engine speed and keeps it constant to reduce fuel consumption.

Boost productivity up to 45 percent with optional Cat Grade technology.
2D Grade indicates depth and slope on the monitor with auditory alerts.
Grade Assist helps you stay on grade – simply and effortlessly – with single-lever digging.
Automatically stop excavator swing at operator-defined set points in truck loading and trenching applications with optional Swing Assist, which will help you use less effort and consume less fuel.
Cat Payload on-board weighing helps you achieve precise load targets to improve your operating efficiency. Pick up a load of material – with a bucket and thumb combination or grapple and clamshell attachments – and get a real-time weight estimate without even swinging.
Combine Payload with VisionLink® and remotely manage your production targets. The monitor’s USB port lets you download results from one shift all the way up to 30 days of work so you can manage your progress without needing an internet connection or VisionLink subscription.
Upgrade to Cat Grade with Advanced 2D and create and edit grade designs with ease on a second high-resolution 254 mm (10 in) touchscreen monitor.
Want a 3D system to improve your digging results? Caterpillar’s new single antenna global navigation satellite system (GNSS) makes it easy by giving you visual and auditory guidance to grade. Plus you can create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job. If your application calls for a dual antenna system, it’s easy to upgrade.
Upgrade to our dual antenna GNSS for maximum grading efficiency. The system lets you create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job, or you can have the plan design sent to the excavator to make your work easier. Plus you get added benefits of avoidance zones, cut and fill mapping, lane guidance, and augmented reality along with advanced positioning capability.
Know the excavator’s exact position relative to GPS and GLONASS systems. The machine automatically compensates for excavator pitch and roll caused by sloping ground conditions.
All Cat Grade systems are compatible with radios and base stations from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica.
Already invested in a grade infrastructure? You can install grade systems from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica onto the machine.
Remote troubleshoot connects you to a dealer service pro to help solve your problem and quickly get you to work.
Remote flash works around your schedule to ensure your machine’s software is up to date for optimal performance.
Standard Product Link™ provides location, machine hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, diagnostic codes, and other machine data on demand through VisionLink online interface, helping you improve jobsite efficiency with lower operating costs.

Reinforced structures ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
Work up to 4500 m (14,764 ft) above sea level.
Standard high-ambient temperature capability is 52° C (125° F) with cold start capability at –18° C (0° F).
An optional battery operated engine heater enables starting at –32° C (–25.6° F).
Auto hydraulic oil warmup gets you to work faster in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components.
Two levels of filtration protect the engine from low-quality diesel fuel.
Grease sealed between track pins and bushings reduces travel noise and prevents debris from entering to increase undercarriage life.

Choose between Deluxe and Premium cabs – both with automatic climate control.
Deluxe cab comes with heated seat to keep you warm.
Premium cab comes with heated and ventilated seat for year-round comfort.
Tilt-up left console enables easy entry and exit.
Control the excavator comfortably with easy-to-reach controls all located in front of you.
Stow your gear with plenty of in-cab storage beneath and behind the seat, overhead, and in the consoles.
Use the standard radio’s USB ports and Bluetooth® technology to connect personal devices and make hands-free calls.

Start the engine with the push of a button; use a Bluetooth key fob or Operator ID passcode.
Program each joystick button, including power mode, response, and pattern, using Operator ID; the machine will remember what you set each time you go to work.
Trouble cutting through tough material? Auto dig boost gives you an automatic power increase of 8 percent when you need it for better bucket penetration, shorter cycle times, and greater payloads.
Need more lift during your shift? Auto heavy lift gives you 8 percent more power exactly when you need it for as long as you need it.
Make moving the excavator much easier with optional Cat Stick Steer. Simply push a button and use one hand to travel and turn instead of both hands or feet on levers or pedals.
Make operating easier with the touch of a joystick button. An auxiliary relay allows you to power on or turn off a CB radio, beacon light, and even a dust suppression watering system without taking your hands off the joysticks.
Navigate quickly on the high-resolution touchscreen monitor.
Protect your hammer from overworking. Auto hammer stop warns you after 15 seconds of continuous firing and then automatically shuts it off after 30 seconds – all to prevent wear and tear on the attachment and excavator.
Not sure how a function works or how to maintain the excavator? Always have the operator’s manual at your fingertips in the touchscreen monitor.
