330 GC - Tier 4 / Stage V

LATEST FEATURES

    
• Cab Monitor Improvements 

    
1. Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, minimizing performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu.
    
2. Identify apps quickly with a grid list view, abbreviated app names, and categorized menu options.
    
3. A notification center keeps important information visible to the operator, and displays messages without shrinking the camera view.
    
4. Color coded notifications set critical messages apart from the rest.
    
5. Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.

BUILT TO PERFORM

    
• Work up to 3000 m (9,840 ft) above sea level without de-rating.
    
• Don’t let the temperature stop you from working. The excavator has a standard high-ambient temperature capability of 52° C (125° F) and cold start capability of –18° C (0° F). An optional – 32° C (–25° F) cold start package is available.
    
• Auto warm up speeds up hydraulic oil warming in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components. 
    
• Two levels of fuel filtration protect the engine from dirty diesel fuel.
    
• Grease sealed between track pins and bushings reduces travel noise and prevents debris from entering to increase undercarriage life.
    
• The track guiding guard helps keep the excavator track aligned when traveling and working on slopes.
    
• The sloped track frame prevents mud and debris accumulation, helping reduce risk of track damage.

SIMPLE TO OPERATE

    
• Start the engine with a push button; use a Bluetooth® key fob, or the unique Operator ID function.
    
• Program your power mode and joystick preferences using Operator ID; the excavator will remember what you set each time you go to work.   
    
• Navigate quickly on the standard high-resolution 203 mm (8 in) touchscreen monitor or with the aid of the jog dial control.
    
• Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.
    
• Protect your hammer tool from overheating and rapid wear. Auto hammer stop warns you after 15 seconds of continuous firing and then automatically shuts it off after 30 seconds - all to extend the tool’s service life.
    
• Find the tool you need – even if it’s hidden beneath overgrowth or debris. The optional Bluetooth reader can search for any work tool equipped with Cat asset tracking devices up to a range of 60 meters (200 feet).
    
• Make moving the excavator much easier with Cat Stick Steer. Simply push a button and use one hand to travel and turn instead of both hands or feet on levers or pedals.

SAFELY HOME EVERY DAY

    
• Access 100% of daily maintenance points from ground level – no need for you to climb on top of the excavator.
    
• Keep your excavator secure with Operator ID. Use your PIN code on the monitor to enable the pushbutton starting feature.
    
• The standard ROPS cab meets ISO 12117-2:2008 requirements.
    
• Enjoy great visibility into the trench, in each swing direction, and behind you with the help of smaller cab pillars, larger windows, and a flat engine hood design. A rearview camera and a right-side-view camera are standard.   
    
• The latest right service platform design provides easy, safe, and quick access to upper service platform; the service platform steps use anti-skid punch plate to prevent slipping.
    
• The standard hydraulic lockout lever isolates all hydraulic and travel functions in the lowered position.
    
• Ground-level shut-off switch stops all fuel to the engine when activated and shuts down the machine.
    
• Enhance jobsite safety. Add a swing alarm to alert people when you're rotating from trench to stockpile and back again.
    
• Make service work easier and safer with optional inspection lighting. With the flip of a switch, lights will illuminate the engine, pump, battery, and radiator compartments to enhance visibility.

SUSTAINABILITY

    
• The Cat® C7.1 engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, Korea Stage V, and Japan 2014 emission standards.
    
• The 330 GC emits up to 9% less CO2 than the previous 330F.*
    
• 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.
    
• Cat VisionLink® displays the CO₂ emissions for monitored assets, calculated by fuel type for the Runtime Fuel Burned each day in a selected date range.
    
• Remote Flash minimizes downtime and maintenance time while keeping your asset running with maximum efficiency. Alerts for machine updates are sent virtually from your Cat dealer and updates can be deployed without a dealer technician needing to be onsite.
    
• 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.
    
• When engaged, one-touch idle helps operators conserve fuel and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by lowering engine speed when the machine is under no load and return to normal operating speed when desired.
    
• 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.
    
• Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling (S·O·S^SM) Services helps reveal excessive wear, contaminated fluids or other “unseen” issues that can shorten component life. In many cases, you can extend oil and coolant change intervals by using fluid monitoring. Consult your Cat dealer or the machine's operation and maintenance manual for more information.
    
• Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine.
    
• A well-trained operator is worth the investment. Skilled operators benefit your bottom line by maximizing productivity, avoiding costly downtime, and maintaining jobsite safety – which can help to improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
