Cat 352 Hydraulic Excavator Excels On Largest Jobs

The 352 excavator offers a choice of fixed or variable gauge undercarriage. The variable gauge undercarriage retracts to a 7-ft. 10-in. width, making it much easier to transport. When expanded, it is 6 in. wider than the fixed gauge undercarriage for greater stability.

The new Cat 352 hydraulic excavator combines more power and a heavier counterweight to work with larger tools. The result is greater production for more profit potential.

“Built for big jobs, the 352 delivers unmatched performance in its size class,” said Brian Abbott, Caterpillar global product manager of large hydraulic excavators. “It can be equipped with high-capacity buckets to dig and load tons of material in fewer passes or large hammers to work in demanding quarry applications.”

Different cab trim level options are available. The Deluxe cab option comes with a heated air-suspension seat. The Premium cab option comes with a heated and ventilated air-suspension seat. Both have a tilt-up left-hand console for easier access in and out of the machine.

Operator ID can quickly save and restore joystick button, response and pattern preferences for individual operators.

Smart Technology

The 352 features keyless pushbutton start with an available Bluetooth key fob. Engine ignition can also be accomplished through an Operator ID passcode. The unique

Optional Cat Stick Steer makes for easy excavator maneuvering through one-hand operation and includes cruise control for even easier traveling.

Standard Cat Grade technology boosts excavator productivity up to 45 percent. Cat 2D Grade indicates depth and slope on the in-cab monitor with auditory alerts, while standard Cat Grade Assist allows the excavator to stay on grade with single-lever digging. Upgrading to Cat Grade with Advanced 2D or Grade with 3D offers the ability to create and edit designs and efficiently complete more complex grading applications. All Cat Grade systems are compatible with radios and base stations from top third-party technology suppliers. Operators can store up to four depth and slope offsets to quickly cut to grade without a grade checker. Providing real-time weight estimates without swinging the boom, Cat Payload on-board weighing helps achieve precise payload targets to improve operating efficiency. It can be combined with VisionLink to remotely manage production targets.
