M323F Railroad Wheeled Excavator | 23 Ton Wheeled Excavator / Digger

PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY

• The C4.4 engine can operate on either ultra-low-sulfur diesel or B20 biodiesel and meets EU Stage IV emission standards.
• The engine quickly responds to changing loads while delivering the same amount of power regardless of operating conditions.
• Maximize efficiency with load-sensing hydraulics which provide fast cycle times.
• The advanced hydraulic system reduces the load on the engine resulting in lower fuel consumption.
• Eco Mode and auto engine speed control help reduce fuel consumption while delivering consistent power.
• The rated capacity indicator (RCI) and rated capacity limiter (RCL) system ensure machine stability in any track condition.
• Powerful and efficient engine delivers superior durability.
• Engine idle shutdown, auto engine speed control, and on-demand cooling system reduce fuel consumption.
• The dedicated swing pump helps reduce fuel consumption and allows faster and smoother combined movements.

LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS

• Reach routine maintenance items like fuel and engine oil filters and fluid taps at ground level.
• An upper carriage auto lubrication system and minimal undercarriage greasing points reduce maintenance time.
• The electric lift pump removes the need to prime the fuel system and fuel/water separator.
• The axial fan and all coolers are gathered in the same compartment. Radiators are easy to clean and can be unlocked and tilted without any tool.

PURPOSE-BUILT FOR RAIL

• The hydrostatic drive on rail axles provides great driving and braking performance.
• Highly mobile, the M323F can travel up to 20 km/h (12 mph) on road and rails.
• Removable heavy counterweight design allows the machine to meet both railway and road regulations while increasing lifting capabilities and excavation performance.

SAFELY HOME EVERY DAY

• ROPS operator and secondary cabs are tested according to ISO 12117-2-2008 and meet 2006/42/EC standards.
• The Cat® M323F meets all applicable safety standards including EN15746.
• E-fence technology limits movement when working under live wires or next to a track that is open to traffic.
• The second cab features emergency stop button, backup electric horn, and main machine power switch.
• Rail and road adapted smart devices like a seat belt warning indicator, automatic swing lock, and safety lever help enforce safety on the job site.
• Long handrails and access steps with anti-skid plates provide easy entry to the cab.
• Large glass areas, wide-angle mirrors, a large skylight, rear and side view cameras, and powerful LED working lights provide great visibility from all angles.
• Standard integrated pin code adds anti-theft security.

INTEGRATED CAT TECHNOLOGIES

• Increase production and minimize operating costs with Cat Connect technology solutions.
• Link technologies wirelessly connect you to your job site providing machine location, hours, fuel usage, idle time and event codes.
• The easy-to-read, high-resolution LCD monitor will keep you aware of important machine information.
• Cat Stage IV technologies are invisible to the operator and do not require any work interruption or operator intervention.

EXPAND YOUR CAPABILITIES

• Standard auxiliary hydraulics, including high pressure and quick coupler lines and circuits, allow easy attachment changes without the need to add other lines to your machine.
• Preset up to ten hydraulic pump flow and pressure settings.
• A large variety of attachments are available, including heavy railway-specific tools.

OPERATOR COMFORT AND CONTROL

• A high resolution, LCD monitor provides quick access to favorite functions.
• Adjust hydraulic sensitivity from the joysticks on both roads and railways.
• Adjustable seats, armrests, steering column, joystick controls, buttons, and thumb wheels provide a unique operator experience.
• Ergonomically designed cab features minimal and conveniently located controls.

SUSTAINABILITY

• The Cat® C4.4 engine meets EU Stage V emission standards.
• Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) * or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details.
• Auto Engine Speed Control helps reduce unnecessary fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by allowing the engine to automatically go into idle mode when the machine is not working.
• Engine Idle Shutdown Timer reduces fuel burn, greenhouse gas emissions and unnecessary idle time by shutting down the machine after a pre-set idling period.

*Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel.
