Ground-Level Service

The design and layout of the 330D2 L was made with the service technician in mind. Most service locations are easily accessible at ground level to allow service and maintenance to get completed quickly and efficiently.

Air Filter Compartment

The air filter features a double-element construction for superior cleaning efficiency. When the air cleaner plugs, a warning is displayed on the monitor screen inside the cab.

Pump Compartment

A service door on the right side of the upper structure allows ground-level access to the pump, pilot filter, engine oil filter and water separator with primary fuel filter.

Radiator Compartment

The left rear service door allows easy access to the engine radiator, oil cooler, air-to-air-aftercooler, water separator, second and third fuel filters, and fuel cooler. A reserve tank and drain cock are attached to the radiator for simplified maintenance.

Greasing Points

Conveniently located grease blocks help you get lube in hard-to-reach places, making routine boom, stick, and bucket linkage maintenance quick and easy.

Fan Guard

The engine radiator fan is completely enclosed by fine wire mesh, reducing the risk of an accident.

Anti-Skid Plate

Anti-skid plate covers top of storage box and upper structure to prevent slipping during maintenance.

Diagnostics and Monitoring

The 330D2 L is equipped with S∙O∙SSM ports to easily sample hydraulic and engine oil quality. Test ports are also conveniently located so you can test coolant and hydraulic pressure.

Robotic Welding

Up to 95% of the structural welds on a Cat Excavator are completed by robots. Robotic welds achieve over three times the penetration of manual welds.

Carbody Design and Track Roller Frames

X-shaped, box-section carbody provides excellent resistance to torsional bending. Robot-welded track roller frames are press-formed, pentagonal units which deliver exceptional strength and service life.

Rollers and Idlers

Sealed and lubricated track rollers, carrier rollers, and idlers provide excellent service life, to keep the machine in the field longer.

Long Undercarriage

The long undercarriage (L) maximizes stability and lift capacity. This long, wide and sturdy undercarriage offers a very stable work platform.

Tracks

The 330D2 L track links are assembled and sealed with grease to decrease internal bushing wear, reduce travel noise and extend service life lowering operating costs.

Counterweights

The 5.9 mt (6.5 t) standard weight makes a better choice for heavy lifting with long undercarriage. Counterweights are bolted directly to the main frame for extra rigidity.

ROPS Certified Operator Station

The 330D2 L features a ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) compliant cab structure as standard which meets OSHA and MSHA sound requirements. This design also allows for a Falling Object Guard System (FOGS) or front windshield guard to be bolted directly to the cab, either at the factory or in the field, enabling the machine to meet all job site requirements.

Monitor

The new monitor features a 40 percent larger screen than the previous model's and is equipped with a warning lamp and buzzer for critical engine oil pressure, coolant temperature and oil temperature. Programmable in up to 42 languages, the monitor clearly displays critical information including filters and fluid change intervals and the image from the optional rearview camera, enhancing job site productivity and safety.

Seat

The suspension seat provides a variety of adjustments to accommodate a wide range of operators. All seats include a reclining back, upper and lower seat slide adjustments, and height and tilt adjustments.

Controls

Operators can adjust the right and left joysticks for individual preferences, helping them become more comfortable, more productive, and more alert. Low-effort pilot-operated joystick controls are designed to match your natural wrist and arm position for maximum comfort and minimum fatigue.

Climate Control

The 330D2 L offers positive filtered ventilation with a pressurized cab. Fresh air or recirculated air can be selected, which makes working in the heat and cold much more pleasant.

Cab Structure and Mounts

The cab shell is attached to the frame with viscous rubber cab mounts which dampen vibrations and sound levels while enhancing operator comfort. Thick steel tubing along the bottom perimeter of the cab improves resistance to fatigue and vibration.
