M323F
The Cat ® M323F is a versatile, high capacity railroad wheeled excavator that gives you the freedom to move from road to rail with ease – without compromising performance. Maintaining the tradition of outstanding performance and stability, the M323F railroad excavator allows you to expand your work to new terrains. Purpose-built for rail, the M323F is the perfect solution for your rail, earthmoving, and lifting needs.
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.
