NEXT GENERATION EXCAVATORS

Cat® Next Generation Excavators offer you more choices than ever for your business.

• MORE MODEL OPTIONS
• MORE STANDARD TECHNOLOGIES
• MORE PRICE POINTS

Ready to help you make your business stronger, Cat Next Generation Excavators give you ways to get the most work done at the lowest cost – so you put more money in your pocket.

THE CAT 330 GC offers you the ideal balance of dependable performance, operator productivity features, and reduced costs. The Cat 330 GC is a smart choice for operations where high reliability and low-cost-per-hour performance are priorities.

REDUCE FUEL CONSUMPTION UP TO 12%1

The precise combination of larger hydraulic pumps, an electronic main control valve, and electronically controlled cooling fans delivers top performance while burning less fuel.

WORK SMART. SAVE MONEY.

The Cat 330 GC is equipped with two modes to help manage fuel consumption for your specific applications – Power Mode and Smart Mode.
Power Mode delivers maximum productivity in high demand applications like truck loading and trenching.
Smart Mode automatically matches engine speed and hydraulic power to demand for the highest fuel efficiency in any application.
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.

FUEL SAVINGS ADD UP.

The Next Generation Cat 330 GC uses up to 12% less fuel than the 330F.

THE NEXT GENERATION CAT 330 GC

USES 4400 L (1,160 GAL) LESS FUEL PER YEAR COMPARED TO THE CAT 330F.

SCENARIO:

Based on 2,000 labor hours per year.
330F (AVERAGE): 18 L (4.8 GAL) PER HOUR × 2,000 HOURS/YEAR = 36 000 L (9,510 GAL) PER YEAR. NEXT GENERATION 330 GC: 15.8 L (4.2 GAL) PER HOUR × 2,000 HOURS/YEAR = 31 600 L (8,350 GAL) PER YEAR; 36 000 L (9,510 GAL) PER YEAR – 31 600 L (8,350 GAL) PER YEAR = 4400 L (1,160 GAL) PER YEAR.

THE HARD OUT OF WORK

Sites where excavators typically work are rugged and challenging. That’s why it’s important that the 330 GC cab protects the operator as much as possible from the fatigue, stresses, sounds, and temperatures of the job.

ISO-CERTIFIED ROPS CAB

The ISO-certified ROPS cab is sound suppressed and sealed. The windows and lower front, right, and rear profile of the machine give outstanding visibility to the work area without the strain of constantly leaning forward.

ALL-AROUND VISIBILITY

Large windows at the front, sides, and rear give excellent visibility in all directions from the operator seat. The ROPS structure uses narrow front cab pillars to allow a wider field of view to the front. Plus, with the standard rearview and right-side cameras, operators will always be aware of what’s surrounding the excavator.

EASY ACCESS, CONNECTIVITY, AND STORAGE

Several built-in convenience features make work more comfortable for operators:

• Bluetooth® integrated radio
• USB ports for charging and phone connectivity
• 12V DC outlets and AUX port
• Storage in rear, overhead, and console compartments
• Cup and bottle holders

Specification

CUSTOMIZABLE JOYSTICKS

Joystick function can be customized through the monitor. Joystick pattern as well as response can be set to match operator preferences. All preferences are saved with the Operator ID and restored at login.

TOUCHSCREEN MONITOR

Most machine settings can be controlled through the high-resolution 203 mm/8-inch touchscreen monitor. It offers 42 languages and is easy to reach from the seat – no twisting or turning to reach switches. A handy jog dial control and shortcut keys are also ergonomically positioned on the right console.

SEAT AND CONSOLE

Efficiency of movement is critical to keeping operators productive and alert all shift long. The 330 GC seat is designed for easy operation and comfort. The standard seat is wide and adjustable so operators of any size can work comfortably.

KEYLESS PUSH START

The 330 GC 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 a smartphone app.

LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS UP TO 25%

With synchronized and extended maintenance intervals, you get more done at a lower cost compared to the 330F. Consolidated filter locations make service faster. Hydraulic, air, and fuel tank filters have increased capacity and longer life. Access to the operation and maintenance manual is easy through the in-cab monitor.

KEY MAINTENANCE COST REDUCTIONS INCLUDE:

• Consolidated filter locations to reduce service time.
• Improved hydraulic filter with higher dirt holding capacity.
• Oil and fuel filters with extended maintenance intervals.
• Advanced Cat air filter with double the dust holding capacity of the previous filter.
• High-efficiency electric cooling fans only run when needed and reverse to keep cores free from debris. Choose between manual and auto reverse fan settings.

LESS RISK. MORE REWARD

REDUCED CHANCE OF LEAKS AND DAMAGE WITH
FEWER CONNECTIONS AND LESS HOSE.

SAFETY FEATURES

LOOK OUT FOR YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR EQUIPMENT

Keep your people and your equipment safe with upper platform access, a ground level engine oil dipstick, and secure start system on the Cat 330 excavator

UPPER PLATFORM ACCESS

Access the upper platform from the entry point on the right side of the machine. The additional steps and handrails provide added support.

GROUND-LEVEL DAILYMAINTENANCE

All daily maintenance checks can be performed from ground level, making maintenance faster, easier, and safer. Checkpoints include the engine oil dipstick, fuel water separator, fuel tank water and sediment drains, and cooling system coolant level check.

SECURE START

Use your PIN code on the monitor, the optional Bluetooth key fob, or your smartphone to enable the push-button starting feature.
