330GC

THE CAT 330 GC offers you the ideal

balance of dependable performance,
operator productivity features, and
reduced costs. The Cat 330 GC is a
smart choice for operations where
high reliability and low-cost-per-hour
performance are priorities.

REDUCE FUEL CONSUMPTION

UP TO 12%

The precise combination of larger hydraulic pumps, an
electronic main control valve, and electronically controlled
cooling fans delivers top performance while burning less fuel.

WORK SMART. SAVE MONEY.

The Cat 330 GC is equipped with two modes to help manage
fuel consumption for your specic applications – Power Mode
and Smart Mode.

Power Mode delivers maximum productivity in high demand
applications like truck loading and trenching.

Smart Mode automatically matches engine speed and
hydraulic power to demand for the highest fuel efciency
inany application.

Operators can set and store their power mode preference
using Operator ID. Owners can lock in the mode they want
their operators to use to help manage fuel consumption.

FUEL SAVINGS ADD UP.

The Next Generation Cat 330 GC uses up to 12% less fuel than the 330F.

THE NEXT GENERATION CAT 330 GC
USES 4400 L (1,160 GAL) LESS FUEL PER YEAR
COMPARED TO THE CAT 330F.

4400 L (1,160 GAL)
SAVED PER YEAR

CAT 330F:

36 000 L (9,510 GAL) per year

NEXT GENERATION CAT 330 GC:

31 600 L (8,350 GAL) per year

SCENARIO:

Based on 2,000 labor hours per year.

330F (AVERAGE): 18 L (4.8 GAL) PER HOUR × 2,000 HOURS/YEAR = 36 000 L (9,510 GAL) PER YEAR.
NEXT GENERATION 330 GC: 15.8 L (4.2 GAL) PER HOUR × 2,000 HOURS/YEAR = 31 600 L (8,350 GAL)

PER YEAR; 36 000 L (9,510 GAL) PER YEAR – 31 600 L (8,350 GAL) PER YEAR = 4400 L (1,160 GAL)
PER YEAR.

CAB TAKES

THE HARD OUT OF WORK

Sites where excavators typically work are rugged and challenging. That’s why it’s important that the 330 GC
cab protects the operator as much as possible from the fatigue, stresses, sounds, and temperatures of the job.

ISO-CERTIFIED ROPS CAB

The ISO-certied ROPS cab is sound suppressed
and sealed. The windows and lower front, right, and rear
prole of the machine give outstanding visibility to the work
area without the strain of constantly leaning forward.

ALL-AROUND VISIBILITY

Large windows at the front, sides, and rear give excellent
visibility in all directions from the operator seat. The ROPS
structure uses narrow front cab pillars to allow a wider eld
of view to the front. Plus, with the standard rearview and
right-side cameras, operators will always be aware of what’s
surrounding the excavator.

EASY ACCESS, CONNECTIVITY,
ANDSTORAGE

Several built-in convenience features make work more
comfortable for operators:

+ Bluetooth® integrated radio

+ USB ports for charging and phone connectivity

+ 12V DC outlets and AUX port

+ Storage in rear, overhead, and console compartments

+ Cup and bottle holders

CUSTOMIZABLE JOYSTICKS

TOUCHSCREEN MONITOR

Joystick function can be customized through the
monitor. Joystick pattern as well as response can be
set to match operator preferences. All preferences
are saved with the Operator ID and restored at login.

Most machine settings can be controlled through the
high-resolution 203 mm/8-inch touchscreen monitor.
It offers 42 languages and is easy to reach from
the seat – no twisting or turning to reach switches.
Ahandy jog dial control and shortcut keys are also
ergonomically positioned on the right console.

SEAT AND CONSOLE

Efciency of movement is critical to keepingoperators
productive and alert all shift long. The 330GC
seat is designed for easy operation and comfort.
Thestandard seat is wide and adjustable so
operators ofany size can work comfortably.

KEYLESS PUSH START

The 330 GC uses a keyless push-button engine
start. This adds security for the machine by using
Operator ID codes to limit and track machine access.
Codescan be entered manually, via an optional
Bluetooth key fob, or a smartphone app.

5330 GC HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR

LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS

UP TO 25%

With synchronized and extended maintenance intervals,
you get more done at a lower cost compared to the 330F.
Consolidated lter locations make service faster. Hydraulic,
air, and fuel tank lters have increased capacity and longer
life. Access to the operation and maintenance manual is easy
through the in-cab monitor.

KEY MAINTENANCE COST REDUCTIONS INCLUDE:

+ Consolidated lter locations to reduce service time.

+ Improved hydraulic lter with higher dirt holding capacity.

+ Oil and fuel lters with extended maintenance intervals.

+ Advanced Cat air lter with double the dust holding

capacity of the previous lter.

+ High-efciency electric cooling fans only run when

needed and reverse to keep cores free from debris.
Choose between manual and auto reverse fan settings.
