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.
Main Control and Auxiliary Valves
The 320E uses a high-pressure hydraulic system to tackle the toughest of work in short order. A highly effi cient and simple
back-to-back main control valve improves fuel consumption and allows for greater tool versatility.
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.
Heavy Lift
The 320E features a heavy lift mode, which increases machine system pressure to improve lift over the front of the machine –
a nice benefit in challenging situations. The system’s pressure increase combined with a reduction in engine speed and heavier
counterweight option give operators better control when lifting robust objects like concrete pipe and road construction barriers.
