A Forceful, Responsive Design
A Logical Layout The 325F features a negative flow control hydraulic system.
All major hydraulic components are strategically located close In layman’s terms, negative flow control decreases pump flow
together. This positioning leads to reduced friction loss and when oil pressure increases and vice versa. The net result is the
pressure drops, and the result is more hydraulic horsepower for pump and valve operate in harmony with less energy and less
the heavy-lifting, ground-breaking work you need to get done. wear and tear. What’s really new with the 325F is the hydraulic
valve’s electronic control. Integrated with the electronic
engine, the hydraulic power with electronic control is smoother
and more responsive than traditional hydraulic control. It also
contributes to less energy consumption and less wear and tear,
and both of those translate into lower owning and operating
costs for you.

4
Valves For Added Efficiency
The 325F is built with a back-to-back main control valve, and the benefit to you is reduced
pressure loss and fuel consumption due to the shorter distance oil has to travel. The machine
also features special boom and stick valves that recirculate oil flow in the cylinders during
work instead of going all the way back to the tank. The valves contribute to energy savings,
but their primary benefit is allowing more oil to flow to other functions so you can experience
faster cycle times and more production.

Tool Control For Enhanced Performance

Tool control is a distinct Cat excavator advantage that adds incredible convenience and
enhanced performance to your everyday work. The electronic system stores flows and
pressures for up to 20 work tools right in the cab monitor, eliminating the need to calibrate
tools every time you make a change out front. It works with both one- and two-way-flow
tools, and it can be outfitted with a third pump and medium-pressure circuit so you can use
tools like shears, grapples, and tilt buckets. Standard high-pressure circuits make the tools
open and close; medium-pressure circuits enable them to rotate. Adding an optional quick
coupler circuit makes tool changes even faster for maximum productivity.

Other Cat Exclusive Hydraulics Advantages

1
Main Pump – The purpose of the main pump is to convert the engine’s mechanical
energy into hydraulic energy, and the 325F’s pump does that job very well.
Its displacement (amount of fluid pumped per revolution) is high so the machine
can deliver ground-breaking performance at lower engine speeds. That translates
into less wear and tear on the hydraulic system and more fuel savings for you.

Capsule Filter – The capsule filter is designed to take out impurities and help you
avoid system contamination and accidental spilling. The self-contained, maintenance-
friendly filter is easy to remove with a simple wrench. It can take out impurities as
small as beta 10 – particles so tiny you cannot see them with the eye. A sensor lets
you know if there is a clog or if pressure exceeds a certain level so you can take action.

2 Drain Filter – A drain filter is one extra level of contamination prevention. Located in
the pump compartment behind the pilot filter, the drain filter purifies the case drain
from the main pumps, swing motor, and travel motors – all to enhance the life of the
pumps and motors and uptime for you.

 1 Work With Confidence
The 325F L’s compact radius design makes it ideal for
working confidently in space-restricted areas like road
jobs with lane closures and next to buildings or other
structures you’d like to keep out of harm’s way. With a
front swing radius of 2.34 m (7'8") and a tail swing radius of
1.72 m (5'8"), the machine can dig, swing, and dump within
a working space of 4.06 m (13'4"). When rotated 90 degrees
and working over the side, just 135 mm (5") of counterweight
extends beyond the track width, which allows trucks and
jersey barriers to be positioned closer to the machine.

2
Work With Power
Unlike a standard radius machine, the 325F’s boom is
positioned toward the center of the machine. Not only
does this help reduce the front swing radius, but it
also supports more lift capacity over the front due
to greater stability.

Work With Comfort

The machine features a full-size roll-over protective
structure (ROPS) cab. With low sound levels, high visibility,
convenient access to switches and controls, and a fully
adjustable seat, you will find it comfortable to work in
all day long.

 Front Linkage
Options to take on your far-reaching
and up-close tasks

Link & Pins

The power link between the stick and bucket is designed for long-term
heavy-duty lifting. With an integrated lifting eye, the power link helps
enhance the machine’s lifting capability by lowering your load point
and maximizing the power built into the boom cylinders. All pins used
in the front linkage have thick chrome plating to give them high wear
and corrosion resistance. The large diameter pins distribute load weight
to ensure long pin, boom, and stick life.

Boom & Stick

The 325F is offered with a reach boom and stick. This combination provides
excellent all-around versatility whether you are picking and placing
underground utilities or top loading trucks.

Built To Last
Each boom and stick is built with internal baffle plates for additional
durability, and each undergoes ultrasound inspection to ensure quality and
reliability. Large box-section structures with thick, multi-plate fabrications,
castings, and forgings are used in high-stress areas such as the boom nose,
boom foot, and boom and stick cylinders to enhance durability for the tough
work you do.

cab that’s as quiet inside as today’s top pickup trucks.

10
Comfortable Seat
The seat is an air suspension type with heat. It features a reclining back,
upper and lower slide adjustments, and height and tilt angle adjustments
to meet your needs for maximum comfort.

A Cool & Warm Environment

The automatic climate control system features multiple air outlets with
filtered ventilation. Air flows on the floor, behind the seat, and in front
of you to make your work in either hot or cold weather much more
pleasant and productive.

Controls Just For You

The joystick consoles adjust to improve your comfort and productivity
during the course of a day. The armrests telescope up and down just like
a bicycle seat. Joysticks for tool control have buttons to make working
with a two-way-flow grapple, thumb, and shear simple. The right joystick
features a button that will reduce engine speed when you are not
working to help save fuel. Touch it once and speed reduces; touch
it again and speed increases for normal operation.

Ample Storage & Auxiliary Power

Storage spaces are located in the front, rear, and side consoles of the
cab. A drink holder accommodates a large mug, and a shelf behind the
seat stores large lunch or toolboxes. Two 12-volt power supply sockets
are conveniently located near the key storage areas for charging your
electronic devices like an MP3 player, a cell phone, or a tablet.

A Helpful Monitor
The LCD monitor is easy to see and navigate. Programmable in up to 44 languages to meet today’s
diverse workforce, the monitor clearly displays critical information you need to operate efficiently and
effectively. Plus it projects the image from the standard rearview camera to help you see what’s going
on around you so you can stay safely focused on the job at hand.

11
Structures & Undercarriage
Made to work in your rugged applications

12

Robust Frame
The 325F L is a well-built machine designed to give you a very long
service life. The upper frame has mountings made specifically to support
the heavy-duty cab; it’s also reinforced around key areas that take on
stress like the boom foot and skirt. Massive bolts are used to attach the
track frames to the body, and additional bolts are used throughout to
increase the machine’s digging force, which leads to more productivity
for you.

Durable Undercarriage
The 325F L undercarriage contributes significantly to its outstanding
stability and durability. Track shoes, links, rollers, idlers, and final drives
are all built with long-lasting, high-tensile-strength steel. Cat Grease
Lubricated Track 2 (GLT2) 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.

Huge Counterweight
The counterweight weighs nearly 6800 kg (15,000 lb)
to help enhance lift capability – out front and over the
side. Rounded to minimize the amount of overhang,
the weight is bolted directly to the main frame using
massive bolts to ensure maximum rigidity. Plus the
counterweight has an integrated housing to help
protect the machine’s standard rearview camera.

A Priming Solution
Located in the pump compartment, an electric fuel priming
pump eliminates the need for you to manually prime after
filter changes. It also eliminates the risk of fuel contamination
by preventing unfiltered fuel from being backfilled during
filter changes.

More Service Benefits

Drain tubes beneath the machine make it easy and simple for
you to remove water and sediment during routine maintenance.
They also make it easy to change oil without special tools
or the risk of spilling. Same goes for an integrated fuel level
indicator that pops up to help you reduce the possibility
of fuel tank overfilling.

Caterpillar recommends using appropriate work tools to maximize the value customers receive from our products. Use of work tools, including buckets, which are
outside of Caterpillar’s recommendations or specifications for weight, dimensions, flows, pressures, etc. may result in less-than-optimal performance, including
but not limited to reductions in production, stability, reliability, and component durability. Improper use of a work tool resulting in sweeping, prying, twisting and/or
catching of heavy loads will reduce the life of the boom and stick.

*Indicates that the load is limited by hydraulic lifting capacity rather than tipping load. The above loads are in compliance with hydraulic excavator lift capacity
standard ISO 10567:2007. They do not exceed 87% of hydraulic lifting capacity or 75% of tipping load. Weight of all lifting accessories must be deducted from the
above lifting capacities. Lifting capacities are based on the machine standing on a firm, uniform supporting surface. The use of a work tool attachment point to
handle/lift objects, could affect the machine lift performance.
Lift capacity stays with ±5% for all available track shoes.
