With more productivity and comfort, less fuel consumption and emissions, and easier
and more sensible serviceability, the 323E and the E Series family of excavators is ideal
for improving your job site efficiency through low owning and operating costs, excellent
performance and high versatility.
3
Engine
Reduced emissions, economical
and reliable performance
4
Operator Station
Comfort and convenience to keep
people productive
5
Hydraulics
Power to move more dirt, rock, and debris
with speed and precision
SmartBoom™
SmartBoom reduces stress and vibrations transmitted to the machine and provides a more comfortable environment. It is particularly
well suited for certain applications:
• Rock scraping. SmartBoom simplifies the task and allows the operator to concentrate on stick and bucket while the boom freely goes
up and down without using pump flow.
• Hammer work. The front parts automatically follow the hammer while penetrating the rock. Blank shots or excessive force on the
hammer are avoided, resulting in longer life for the hammer and the machine.
6
Structures & Undercarriage
Built to work in rugged environments
Frame
The upper frame includes reinforced mountings to support the Roll-Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) cab; the lower frame is reinforced to increase
component durability.
Undercarriage
Fixed gauge long and long narrow undercarriage systems are available
to support various work applications.
Counterweights
The machine comes equipped with a 4.1 mt counterweight (323E L) or a 4.4 mt
counterweight for the 323E LN, both with integrated rearview camera housing.
The counterweight also features integrated links to enable easy removal for
maintenance or shipping.
7
Front Linkage
Made for high stress and long service life
8
Serviceability
Fast, easy and safe access built in
Service Doors
Wide service doors and a one-piece hood provide
easy access to the engine and cooling compartments.
Both doors and hood feature enhanced hardware and
a new screen design to help minimize debris entry.
Compartments
The radiator, pump, and air cleaner compartments provide
easy access to major components. The fresh air filter is
located on the side of the cab to make it easy to reach
and replace as needed.
Maintenance
Tilt-up ATAAC and swing out A/C condenser for
easy cleaning.
9
Work Tools
Dig, hammer, rip, and cut with confidence
CW Quick Couplers
Quick couplers allow one person to change work tools in
seconds for maximum performance and flexibility on a job site.
One machine can move rapidly from task to task, and a fleet of
similarly equipped machines can share a common work tool
inventory. The dedicated CW Series quick coupler enables a
quick tool exchange while maintaining top machine performance.
A lifting hook is added for maximum lift capacity.
The CW quick coupler can pick up any work tool and is equipped
with a wedge-style locking system that fits the quick coupler
tight to the tool hinges. Due to the tapered wedge design, there
won’t be any play during its entire life. Also, it is interchangeable
with different machine classes. The CW is highly suitable for
harsh applications such as demolition and quarries.
10
Buckets
Cat buckets are designed as an integral part of the 323E system and
feature new geometry for better performance. The leading edge has
been pushed forward, resulting in more efficient filling and better
operator control for greatly improved productivity. Wear coverage
in the corners and side cutter and sidebar protector coverage are
improved. All benefits are captured in a new bucket line with a new
bucket naming convention.
Special Buckets
Special buckets are available for the 323E on request.

Integrated Technologies
Monitor, manage, and enhance job site operations
Equipment Management –
increase uptime and reduce
operating costs.
Productivity – monitor
production and manage
job site efficiency.
LINK Technologies
LINK technologies, like Product Link™, are deeply integrated into your machine and
wirelessly communicates key information, including location, hours, fuel usage, idle
time and event codes.
Product Link™/VisionLink®
Easy access to Product Link data via the online VisionLink user interface can help
you see how your machine or fleet is performing. You can use this information
to make timely, fact based decisions that can boost job site efficiency and
productivity, and lower costs.
12
GRADE Technologies
Grade technologies combine digital design data and in-cab guidance to
help you reach target grade quickly and accurately, with minimal staking
and checking. That means you’ll be more productive, complete jobs faster,
in fewer passes, using less fuel, at a lower cost.
3D control is required.
Cat AccuGrade™
The dealer-installed AccuGrade system provides 3D guidance for making
complex cuts and contours, eliminating the need for staking and checking.
A dedicated monitor displays a digital design plan with 3D bucket tip
positioning and elevation guidance, indicating precisely where to work
and how much to cut or fill.
Plug and play capability on the 323E simplifies upgrading. Choose from
satellite (GNSS) control for large projects with complex designs or total
station (UTS) systems in areas with limited reception

Sustainability
Generations ahead in every way
• The C6.6 ACERT engine, along with the Cat Clean Emissions Module (CEM), meets
EU Stage IIIB emission standards.
• Even when operating in high horsepower and high production applications, the 323E
performs a similar amount of work while burning up to 12% less fuel than the previous
D Series model. This means more efficiency, less resources consumed, and fewer
CO2 emissions.
• The 323E has the flexibility of running on either ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel with
15 mg/kg of sulfur or less or bio diesel (B20) fuel blended with ULSD.
• A ground-level overfill indicator rises when the hydraulic oil tank is full to help the
operator avoid spilling.
• The QuickEvac™ feature ensures fast, easy, and secure changing of engine and
hydraulic oil (323E L only).
• The 323E is built to be rebuilt with major structures and components capable of being
remanufactured to reduce waste and replacement costs.
• An engine oil filter is designed so that it eliminates the need for painted metal cans and
aluminum top plates. The cartridge-style spin-on housing enables the internal filter to be
separated and replaced.
• The 323E is an efficient, productive machine that’s designed to conserve our natural
resources for generations ahead.

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.
