Caterpillar launches more powerful excavator

01 Jan 2023

Equipped with a more powerful engine, wider track and 7.5-tonne counterweight, Caterpillar says its new 340 hydraulic excavator delivers more power, stability and productivity for earthmoving operations. The 347-horsepower Cat C9.3B engine has three engine modes: Power, Smart and Eco. Each option matches excavator power to the demands of the job while saving fuel. Engine oil and fuel filter service intervals have been synchronised for 1,000-hour intervals, increasing uptime and reducing parts and labour costs.
