STANDARD CAT GRADE WITH 2D STANDARD CAT GRADE WITH ASSIST

Cat GRADE with 2D helps operators reach grade faster. Operators Automated boom, stick and bucket movements deliver more

program up to four of your most commonly used target depth and slope into the monitor and activates single-lever digging.
and slope off sets so you can get to grade with ease – a real time

CAT LINK TECHNOLOGY
TAKES THE GUESSWORK OUT OF MANAGING YOUR EQUIPMENT
CAT LINK telematics technology helps take the complexity out of managing your jobsites – by gathering data generated by your
equipment, materials, and people and serving it up to you in customizable formats.

PRODUCT LINK™
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.

VISIONLINK®
Access information anytime, anywhere with VisionLink – and use
it to make informed decisions that boost productivity, lower costs,
simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your
jobsite. With different subscription level options, your Cat dealer
can help you configure exactly what you need to connect your
fleet and manage your business without paying for extras you don’t
want. Subscriptions are available with cellular or satellite reporting
(or both).

Remote Services is a suite of technologies that improve your

jobsite efficiency.

Remote Troubleshoot allows your Cat dealer to perform diagnostic

testing on your connected machine remotely, pinpointing potential
issues while the machine is in operation. Remote Troubleshoot
ensures the technician arrives with the correct parts and tools the
first time, eliminating additional trips to save you time and money.

Remote Flash updates on-board software without a technician

being present, potentially reducing update time by as much as 50%.
You can initiate the update when convenient, increasing your overall
operating efficiency.

The Cat App helps you manage your assets – at any time – right
from your smartphone. You can see your fleet location, hours, and
other information you need to see. You will get critical alerts for
required maintenance, and you can even request service from
your local Cat dealer.

 CAB TAKES Sites where excavators typically
work are rugged and challenging.

THE HARD
That’s why it’s important that the
320 cab protects the operator as
much as possible from the fatigue,

OUT OF WORK stresses, sounds and temperatures

of the job.

SEAT AND JOYSTICK CONSOLE REDUCE FATIGUE

Comfort and efficiency of movement keep operators productive and alert all shift long. The standard seat is wide and adjustable
for operators of virtually any size. The Deluxe cab package includes a heated air suspension seat.

320 HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR 7

 TOUCHSCREEN MONITOR

Most machine settings can be controlled

through the high-resolution 203 mm/8 inch
(or optional 254 mm/10 inch) touchscreen
monitor. It offers 42 languages and is easy to
reach from the seat – no twisting or turning.

SMART MODE

The Smart Mode (one of three power mode

settings) automatically adjusts engine
and hydraulic power for the highest fuel
efficiency – less power for tasks such
as swinging and more power for digging.
Operators can set and store their power
mode preference using Operator ID;
owners can lock in the mode they want
their operators to use to help manage
fuel consumption.

CUSTOMIZABLE JOYSTICKS

Joystick function can be customized through

the monitor. Joystick pattern as well as
response can be set to match operator
preference. All preferences are saved with
the operator ID and restored at log in.

KEYLESS PUSH START

The 320 uses a keyless push-button engine

start. This adds security for the machine by
using Operator ID codes to limit and track
machine access. Codes can be entered
manually, via an optional Bluetooth® key
fob or smartphone app.
