Compact Radius Cat^® 335 Next Gen Excavator Boosts Jobsite Productivity and Efficiency

With its compact radius design, the Cat^® 335 Next Gen Hydraulic Excavator brings premium performance and the highest level of standard factory technology to the 35-ton excavator class. The new 335 delivers the tightest tail swing radius in the industry for enhanced maneuverability, making it ideal for working on space-restricted jobsites, such as road projects with lane closures, and excavating next to buildings.

The Cat C7.1 engine powering the 335 meets the most stringent emissions standards with a no-maintenance after-treatment system. Three selectable operating modes – Power, Smart and Eco – with one-touch low idle help to reduce fuel consumption by up to 10%. The standard engine configuration offers high ambient temperature operating capacity of 52°C, cold start capability of -18°C and 4,600 m altitude capability.

The new 335 features increased stick and bucket cylinder sizes to provide 15% greater digging forces to power through hard ground and asphalt. Hydraulic power is increased by 20% to boost productivity. Yet fuel consumption remains similar to the previous model.

The 335 also features optimized weight and dimensions to meet the most common transportation limits. For example, the track gauge is wider to improve side stability, yet total machine weight is under 36,200 kg, with or without a blade.

Auxiliary hydraulic options for a wide range of Cat attachments increase versatility. Material penetration and improved cycle times are achieved through Advansys^™ bucket tips, which are quickly changed without a hammer or special tool to improve safety and uptime. A new, wider blade is available to cover the width of wide track shoes.

The Cat 335 Next Gen excavator gives customers a choice between reengineered Deluxe and Premium cab designs featuring vibration-reducing viscous mounts, adjustable operator seats and automatic climate control to increase operator comfort. Ergonomically positioned to reduce fatigue, customizable joysticks allow pattern and response settings to be saved to operator preference. The tilt-up console eases operator entry and exit.

Operators have excellent visibility into the trench to either side and to the rear of the excavator thanks to a flat engine hood design, smaller cab pillars and large panoramic windows. Standard rearview and right-view cameras further enhance visibility and safety and can be upgraded to offer 360° visibility.
