Power to move more dirt, rock, and debris with speed and precision
Hydraulic Horsepower
Hydraulic horsepower is the actual machine power available 
to do work through implements and work tools. It’s much 
more than just the engine power under the hood – it’s a core 
strength that differentiates Cat machines from other brands. 
Hydraulic Pumps
The 320E LRR uses a two-pump, high-pressure hydraulic 
system to tackle the toughest work in short order. A highly 
efficient and simple back-to-back main control valve improves 
fuel consumption and allows for greater tool versatility. 
Heavy Lift
The 320E LRR features a heavy lift function to give more lift 
capacity over the front. With a touch of a button, pressure 
increases and engine speed reduces to give better control in 
lifting those extra-tough-to-move materials like concrete pipe 
and road construction barriers. 
Swing Priority Circuit
The swing priority circuit on the 320E LRR uses an electric 
valve that’s operated by the machine’s Electronic Control 
Module (ECM). Compared to using a hydraulic valve, an 
electric valve allows for more finely tuned control, which 
is critical during material loading. 
Electric Boom Regeneration Valve
This valve minimizes pump flow when the boom lowers 
down, which helps improve fuel efficiency. It is optimized 
for any dial speed setting being used by the operator, 
which results in enhanced boom lowering speed for greater 
controllability.
