The CAT 323D3 is a 22-ton hydraulic crawler excavator designed for precise earthmoving, canal digging, and high-production construction across Indian sites. It has a Cat C7.1 engine that delivers 152 HP at 1,800 rpm, providing strong and controlled output under varying load conditions. Weighing about 22,600 kg, it features a heavy-duty undercarriage with a solid counterweight, ensuring stable digging and lifting. The maximum digging depth of 6,300 mm and a ground-level reach of 9.47 m make it suitable for wide-area and deep excavation work. A 1.20 m³ severe-duty bucket is designed to resist abrasion for long service life in gravel, rock, and coarse material. Tandem pumps deliver efficient hydraulic performance, giving operators precise control over all functions. The economy mode reduces fuel consumption by up to 15% without sacrificing digging or lifting force. The 410-litre fuel tank allows the machine to run through demanding shifts without frequent refuelling. It operates reliably in demanding site conditions. The CAT 323D3 price in India ranges from Rs. 80 to 90 lakh. It is a capable option for infrastructure companies and contractors involved in highway cuts, canal work, and deep foundation projects across India.
