Cat 340F LRE

The Cat C9.3 and C13 ACERT engines meet EU Stage IV emission standards. The engine provides plenty of power for the work you do, consuming only the necessary amount of fuel to do it – all to help keep your owning and operating costs to an absolute minimum.

• Every Stage IV ACERT engine is equipped with a combination of proven electronic, fuel, air, and aftertreatment components. Applying these time-tested technologies lets us meet your high expectations for productivity, fuel efficiency, reliability, and service life.
• Emissions package works behind the scenes without interrupting your job.
• Engine speed control automatically lowers rpm when the machine doesn't need it to help you save fuel.
• Three power modes – high, standard, and eco – and automatic engine idle shutdown help you more actively manage fuel consumption, reduce emissions, and extend your service intervals.
• Capable to run on up to B20 biodiesel fuel that meets ASTM 6751 standards.

The ROPS-certified cab contributes to your comfort, with fully adjustable settings to maximize your ergonomic position.

• Wide seats with air suspension and heat/cooling options, upper and lower slide adjustments, and height and tilt angle adjustments meet your needs for maximum comfort. Joysticks and armrests adjust to your preference.
• Easy to navigate LCD monitor is programmable in 42 languages to meet diverse workforce preferences.
• Monitor projects the image from the rearview camera to help you see what's going on around you.
• Critical information you need to operate efficiently and effectively, is available in the monitor: fuel consumption, fluids levels, temperatures, and maintenance deadlines.
• Ample glass coupled with the standard parallel wiper system, gives you excellent visibility out front and to the side.
• Halogen lights provide plenty of illumination, and the cab and boom lights can be programmed to stay on for up to 90 seconds after the engine has been turned off to help you safely exit the machine.

Controllability is one of the main attributes of Cat excavators, and one of the key contributors to this is the main control valve. The valve opens slowly when your range of joystick lever movement is small and opens rapidly when movement is high. It puts flow where you need it when you need it, which leads to smoother operation and levelling and lower fuel consumption.

• Heavy lift mode increases machine system pressure to improve lift and reduces engine speed and pump flow in order to improve controllability.
• SmartBoom™ technology reduces stress and vibrations transmitted to the structures. Scraping rock and finishing work is easy and fast. SmartBoom simplifies the task and allows the operator to fully concentrate on the stick and bucket, while boom freely goes up and down without using pump flow.

• Ditch cleaning and tiltable ditch cleaning buckets are wide, light duty buckets to clean water beds and banks, and ideal for slope finishing applications.
• Cat quick couplers allow you to switch from one tool to another in a matter of minutes. The Cat Universal coupler is the secure way to decrease downtime and increase job site flexibility and overall productivity.
• Cat tool control remembers pressures and flows for up to 10 tools that can be selected from the monitor so you can quickly get to work after each tool change.

The 340F LRE is a purposely-built machine, designed to give you a very long service life.

• Heavy duty wide undercarriages provides very stable and rugged platforms for long reach digging and loading applications.
• Long Reach Excavation booms and sticks provide extra reach needed for deep digging applications, and finishing/grading of embankments. Each is built with internal baffle plates and stress-relieved for added durability, and each undergoes ultrasound inspection to ensure quality and reliability.
• Front linkage pins have thick chrome plating, giving them high wear resistance, even under water.
• Track shoes, links, rollers, idlers, and final drives are built with high-tensile strength steel.
• Grease-lubricated track link protects moving parts by keeping water, debris, and dust out and grease sealed in, which delivers longer wear life and reduced noise when traveling.
• Optional guide guards help maintain track alignment to improve the machine's overall performance – whether you're traveling on a flat, heavy bed of rock or a steep, wet field of mud.

You can do more with less downtime and lower operating costs.

• Routine maintenance items like grease points, fluid taps, filters, and drain tubes are easy to access.
• To let you know what's going on inside your machine, S·O·SSM Sampling ports and pressure taps are easily accessible to quickly provide you with engine and hydraulic oil samples, without having to crack open lines, hence significantly reducing the risk of contamination. Scheduled oil sampling can prevent major damage to key components of the machine, as well as extend the hydraulic oil change interval.
• QuickEvac™ drains allow easy and fast changing of engine and hydraulic oil.
• Compartment doors are designed to prevent debris entry, and they securely latch in place to enhance ease of service.
• Side-by-side cooling system is easy to clean.
• Multiple large steps get you into the cab as well as a leg up to the compartments. Extended hand and guard rails allow you to safely climb to the upper deck. Anti-skid plates reduce your slipping hazards in all types of weather conditions, and they can be removed for cleaning.

Cat Connect makes smart use of technology and services to improve your job site efficiency. Using the data from technology-equipped machines, you'll get more information and insight into your equipment and operations than ever before.

• LINK technologies like Product Link™ are deeply integrated into your machine and wirelessly communicates key information, including location, hours, fuel usage, idle time and event codes.
• Easy access to Product Link data via the online VisionLink® user interface can help you see how your machine or fleet is performing. You can use this information to make timely, fact-based decisions that can boost job site efficiency and productivity and lower costs.

Cat dealers utilize a worldwide parts network to maximize your machines' uptime. Plus they can help you save money with Cat remanufactured components.

Consider financing options and day-to-day operating costs. Look at dealer services that can be included in the machine's cost to yield lower owning and operating costs over time.
