345C L Hydraulic Excavator High performance and rugged durability combine to maximize your productivity. Engine Application and System Match Operator Station The Cat C13 engine has state-of-the-art ACERT™ technology to meet emission regulations with exceptional performance capabilities, fuel efficiency and proven reliability. pg. 4 The 345C L is designed for matched performance with Cat articulated trucks.
Booms, Sticks and Linkage Undercarriage Structures Caterpillar excavator booms and sticks are built for performance and long service life. Two types of booms and four sticks are available, offering a range of configurations suitable for a wide variety of applications. The bucket linkage pins have been enlarged to improve reliability and durability. All booms and sticks are stress relieved. pg. 11 Cat designed excavator undercarriage is stable, durable and low maintenance.
Engine Built for power, reliability, economy and low emissions. Fuel Consumption. ADEM A4 controller uses sensors throughout the engine to manage engine load and performance. The ADEM A4 controller is the muscle behind engine responsiveness, selfdiagnostics, controlling emissions, and fuel economy. Performance. The Cat C13 engine with ACERT Technology offers 21% greater displacement than the 3176C, and runs at 10% lower speeds for better fuel economy and reduced wear. Low Sound and Vibration Levels.
Applications and Systems Match The 345C L is designed for matched performance with Cat Articulated Trucks. Wide range of front end attachments. Providing choices for systems matching to a range of Cat articulated trucks from the 730 to the 740. This adds flexibility for a wide range of job conditions in a variety of applications such as construction, mining or quarry. Additionally, systems match offers versatility in job set-up whether top loading or same level truck loading. Optimum pass match design.
Operator Station Designed for simple, easy operation and comfort, the 345C L allows the operator to focus on production. Windows. To maximize visibility, all glass is affixed directly to the cab eliminating the use of window frames. Choice of fixed or easy-to-open split front windshield meet operator preference and application conditions. 50/50 split front windshield allows both upper and lower portions to be stored in an overhead position.
Electronic Control System Manages the engine and hydraulics for maximum performance. Consoles. Redesigned consoles feature a simple, functional design to reduce operator fatigue, ease of switch operation and excellent visibility. Both consoles have attached armrests and allow the height of the armrests to be adjusted. Standard Cab Equipment.
Undercarriage Durable undercarriage absorbs stresses and provides excellent stability. Travel Motors. Two-speed axial piston hydraulic motors provide the 345C L drive power and speed selection which is automatic when the high-speed position is selected. This enables the machine to automatically change between computer-controlled high and low speeds depending on drawbar-pull requirements. Straight-line Travel Circuit.
SmartBoom TM Reduces stress and vibrations transmitted to the machine. Rock Scraping. Scraping rock and finishing work is easy and fast. SmartBoom simplifies the task and allows the operator to fully concentrate on stick and bucket, while boom freely goes up and down without using pump flow. Hammer Work. It has never been this productive and operator-friendly. The front parts automatically follow the hammer while penetrating the rock.
Service and Maintenance Simplified service and maintenance save you time and money. Extended Service Intervals. Extended service and maintenance intervals increase machine availability. The maintenance intervals for engine oil, engine oil filter and water separator for fuel line have been extended to 500 hours, hydraulic oil to 2000 hours for normal applications with S•O•SSM analysis monitoring. Capsule Filter. The hydraulic return filters are located in the hydraulic tank.
Booms, Sticks and Linkage Designed for flexibility, high productivity, and efficiency in a variety of applications. Front Linkage Attachments. Select the right combination of front linkage with your Cat dealer to ensure high productivity from the very start of your job. Two types of booms and four sticks are available, offering a range of configurations suitable for a wide variety of applications and offer a large combination of reach and digging forces for optimum versatility.
