The C7.1 engine can run on biodiesel up to B20 and meets China Nonroad Stage III emission standards, equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3/EU Stage IIIA.
Use up to 25 percent less fuel than the 320D2 to keep you moving and productive on the job site.
The advanced hydraulic system provides the optimum balance of power and efficiency while giving you the control you need for precise digging requirements.
Valve priority puts hydraulic pressure and flow where you command it to go for fast light- to medium-load cycle times.
Match the excavator to the job with two power modes; let Smartmode automatically match engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions.
Auxiliary hydraulic options give you the versatility to use a wide range of Cat attachments.
Lose less energy and reduce fuel consumption with the positive flow control pump. The pump flow adjusts automatically based on valve priority.
Advansys™ bucket tips increase penetration and improve cycle times. Tip changes can be done quickly with a simple lug wrench instead of a hammer or special tool, improving safety and uptime. Only available on HD buckets.
Standard Product Link™ collects data automatically and accurately from your assets – any type and any brand. Information such as location, hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, maintenance alerts, diagnostic codes, and machine health can be viewed online through web and mobile applications.

Work up to 3000 m (9,840 ft) above sea level without de-rating.
Don’t let the temperature stop you from working. The 323 GC has a standard high-ambient temperature capability of 52° C (°F) and cold start capability of –18° C (0° F).
Auto warm up speeds up hydraulic oil warming in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components.
Two levels of fuel filtration protect the engine from dirty diesel fuel.
Grease sealed between track pins and bushings reduces travel noise and prevents debris from entering to increase undercarriage life.
The track guiding guard helps keep the excavator track aligned when traveling and working on slopes.
The sloped track frame prevents mud and debris accumulation, helping reduce the risk of track damage.

The cab has a wide seat that adjusts for operators of all sizes.
Control the excavator comfortably with easy-to-reach controls alllocated in front of you.
Standard automatic climate control keeps you at the right temperature all shift long.
Feel more comfortable in the cab while you work with reduced cab vibrations from advanced viscous mounts.
Stow your gear with plenty of in-cab storage beneath and behind the seat, and in the consoles. A cup holder, document holder, bottle holder, and coat hook are also provided.
Use the USB ports and Bluetooth® technology to connect to personal devices.

Start the engine with the push button, a Bluetooth key fob or the unique Operator ID function.
Program your power mode and joystick preferences using Operator ID; the excavator will remember what you set each time you go to work.
Navigate quickly on the standard high-resolution 203 mm (8 in) touchscreen monitor or with the aid of the jog dial control.
Protect your hammer tool from overheating and rapid wear. Auto hammer stop warns you after 15 seconds of continuous firing and then automatically shuts it off after 30 seconds – all to extend the tool’s service life.
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.
Find the tool you need – even if it’s hidden beneath overgrowth or debris. Search with your cell phone for any work tool equipped with Cat asset tracking devices up to a range of 60 m (200 ft).

Expect up to 25 percent less maintenance cost than the 320D2 (savings calculated over 12,000 machine hours).
Do all daily maintenance at ground level.
Boost productivity with proactive service reminders. The new integrated vehicle health management system alerts the operator with step-by-step service guidance along with parts needed so you don’t experience any unnecessary downtime..
Check engine oil level quickly and safely with the new ground-level engine oil dipstick; fill and check engine oil on top of the machine with a conveniently located second dipstick.
Track your excavator’s filter life and maintenance intervals via the in-cab monitor.
Using Cat genuine oil and filters and doing your typical S∙O∙S^SM monitoring will double the current service interval to 1,000 hours, giving you greater uptime to do more work.
Expect the new air intake filter with integrated precleaner to last up to 1,000 hours in certain applications – a 100 percent increase over the previous filter.
The new hydraulic oil filter provides improved filtration performance, anti-drain valves to keep oil clean when the filter isreplaced, and longer life with a 3,000 hour replacement interval – 50 percent longer than previous filter designs.
High-efficiency cooling fans run only when needed; you can program intervals so they automatically reverse to keep cores clean without interrupting your work.
S·O·S ports are on ground level, simplifying maintenance and allowing for quick, easy extraction of fluid samples for analysis.
