Compact Radius. The 321D LCR features
a compact radius design, which makes
it ideal for working in space restricted
areas such as: close to buildings, road
construction – limiting lane closures
or logging roads. The tail swing is
just 1.68 m (5'6") as compared to the
2.75 m (9'0") on the 320D. When rotated
90 degrees and working over the side,
a minimal amount of counterweight
extends beyond the track width.
Operator Confidence. Due to the
321D LCR’s compact working
envelope, operators can work
confidently knowing that the
counterweight will not swing
into any object behind them.
Comfort. The cab on the 321D LCR is
a comfortable place to work, with low
sound levels, good visibility and
convenient access to switches and
controls. The 321D LCR cab offers
many of the same amenities and
options found in the cab of the
320D/320D LRR.
Working Envelope. To further minimize
the working envelope, the boom is
repositioning more towards the center
of the machine as compared to a
standard excavator. This reduced the
front swing radius when the boom is
pulled all the way up and the stick
brought in completely. This design
also increases the lift capacity of the
321D LCR over the front as it has a
better mechanical advantage when
compared to a standard excavator.

Compact Radius
The 321D LCR delivers exceptional performance and comfort.
Cat C6.4. The Cat C6.4 with ACERT™
Technology introduces a series of
evolutionary, incremental improvements
that provide breakthrough engine
technology. The building blocks of
ACERT Technology are fuel delivery,
air management and electronic control.
ACERT Technology optimizes engine
performance while meeting U.S. EPA
Tier 3 emission regulations. With its
proven technology, robust components
and precision manufacturing, you can
count on this engine to power up at start
time and keep working productively all
shift long.
Performance. The 321D LCR, equipped
with the C6.4 engine with ACERT™
Technology, provides 7% more power
as compared to the 3066TA in the
321C LCR. The additional power
delivers a speed and efficiency advantage
in high production applications.
Automatic Engine Speed Control.
The two-stage, one-touch control
maximizes fuel efficiency and reduces
sound levels.
ADEM™ A4 Engine Controller.
The ADEM A4 electronic control module
manages fuel delivery to get the best
performance per liter of fuel used.
The engine management system provides
flexible fuel mapping, allowing the
engine to respond quickly to varying
application needs. It tracks engine and
machine conditions while keeping the
engine operating at peak efficiency.
Electronic Control Module.
The Electronic Control Module (ECM)
works as the “brain” of the engine’s
control system, responding quickly to
operating variables to maximize engine
efficiency. Fully integrated with sensors
in the engine’s fuel, air, coolant, and
exhaust systems, the ECM stores and
relays information on conditions such
as rpm, fuel consumption, and
diagnostic information.
Fuel Delivery. The Cat C6.4 features
electronic controls that govern the fuel
injection system. Multiple injection
fuel delivery involves a high degree
of precision. Precisely shaping the
combustion cycle lowers combustion
chamber temperatures, generating
fewer emissions and optimizing fuel
combustion. This translates into more
work output for your fuel cost.
5
C6.4 with ACERT™ Technology
The Cat®C6.4 gives the 321D LCR exceptional power and fuel efficiency unmatched in the
industry for consistently high performance in all applications.
Component Layout. To optimize
efficiency of hydraulic performance,
the hydraulic components are located
close together, which reduces friction
loss and pressure drops in the lines.
System Pressure. System pressure has
been increased to 35 000 kPa (5,076 psi),
which attributes to improved
performance:
•Increased stick and bucket forces
(up 7% higher than the 321C LCR)
to better handle those tight digging
conditions
•More drawbar pull (206 kN/46,322 lb)
to provide more ability to climb
slopes, easier spot turns and
improved travel in poor underfoot
conditions
•More lift capacity, generally over
the front where you are generally
hydraulically limited
Heavy Lift. The 321D LCR features the
addition of a heavy lift, which increases
system pressure to 36 000 kPa (5,220 psi),
giving even more lift capacity over
the front. Heavy Lift is activated be
depressing the soft switch on the right
hand console. As the pressure increases,
the engine speed is reduced, which allows
better control while lifting objects.
Pilot System. The pilot pump is
independent from the main pumps and
controls the front linkage, swing and
travel operations.
Hydraulic Cross Sensing System.
The hydraulic cross sensing system
utilizes each of two hydraulic pumps to
100 percent of engine power, under all
operating conditions. This improves
productivity with faster implement
speeds and quicker, stronger pivot turns.
Boom and Stick Regeneration Circuit.
Boom and stick regeneration circuit
saves energy during boom-down and
stick-in operation which increases
efficiency, reduces cycle times and
pressure loss for higher productivity,
lower operating costs and increased
fuel efficiency.
Auxiliary Hydraulic Valve. The auxiliary
valve is standard on the 321D LCR.
Control Circuits are available as
attachments, allowing for operation of
high and medium pressure tools such as
shears, grapples, hammers, pulverizers,
multi-processors and vibratory plate
compactors.
Hydraulic Cylinder Snubbers.
Snubbers are located at the rod-end of
the boom cylinders and both ends of the
stick cylinders to cushion shocks while
reducing sound levels and extending
component life.
6
Hydraulics
Cat®hydraulics deliver power and precise control to keep material moving.
Robust Undercarriage. A solid
foundation built tough to absorb the
stresses of everyday work.
•Rollers and idlers are sealed and
lubricated to extend service life.
•Track links are assembled and sealed
with grease to decrease internal
bushing wear and increase life by
as much as 25%, when compared
to dry seal undercarriages.
•Spring recoil system stroke has been
increased to better relieve excess
track tension, which can occur when
material builds up between the track
and sprocket.
Rugged Structures. Structural
components and the undercarriage
are the backbone of the machine’s
durability. Caterpillar places a lot of
emphasis on the machine’s durability
during the designing and manufacturing
of its excavators.
•Up to 95% of the structural welds
are welded by robots, which achieve
up to three times the penetration of a
manual weld and improving overall
durability of the machine.
•The 321D LCR’s main frame
utilizes high-tensile strength steel
and a one-piece swing table, which
improves strength and reliability.
•The carbody has a X-shaped, box
section design to resist bending and
twisting forces.
•Track roller frames are press-formed
in a pentagonal shape for additional
strength.
Engine Hood. The 321D LCR features a
one-piece, flat engine hood. The engine
hood opens backwards and is located in
a place that does not obstruct access to
inspection points in the engine
compartment.
Counterweight. The counterweight
is split into two pieces for improved
serviceability. The top piece weighs
approximately 2268 kg (5,000 lb), and
the bottom weighs 3832 kg (8,450 lb).
The counterweight is a rounded cast
structure that minimizes the amount
of overhang.

Please consult with your Caterpillar dealer personnel for optimum selection of buckets and work
tools that best match your application.
Based on SAE J296, some calculations of capacity specs fall on borderlines. Rounding may
