With standard Cat Payload and 2D Grade, the Cat ® 340 LRE will help you hit your targets all day long—even up to distances nearly 60 feet (18.28 meters) away. When you add in an all-new cab, longer maintenance intervals that lower your maintenance costs up to 15 percent, and a power system that improves fuel efficiency up to 15 percent, you won’t find a better excavator for tough, hard-to-reach work.
High Performance with Lower Fuel Consumption
- Increase operating efficiency up to 45 percent with standard Cat Connect technologies that lower operator fatigue and operating costs, including fuel consumption and daily maintenance.

- The advanced hydraulic system provides the optimum balanceof power and efficiency while giving you the control you need for precise digging requirements.
- Auxiliary hydraulic options give you the versatility to use a wide range of Cat attachments.
- Don’t let the temperature stop you from working. This excavator has a high-ambient capability of 52° C (125° F) and cold start capability of –18° C (0° F).
