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.

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.

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.
