A Forceful, Responsive Design

A Logical Layout
All major hydraulic components are strategically located close
together. This positioning leads to reduced friction loss and
pressure drops, and the result is more hydraulic horsepower for
the heavy-lifting, ground-breaking work you need to get done.

The 325F features a negative flow control hydraulic system.

Inlaymans terms, negative flow control decreases pump flow
when oil pressure increases and vice versa. The net result is the
pump and valve operate in harmony with less energy and less
wear and tear. Whats really new with the 325F is the hydraulic
valves electronic control. Integrated with the electronic
engine, the hydraulic power with electronic control is smoother
and more responsive than traditional hydraulic control. It also
contributes to less energy consumption and less wear and tear,
and both of those translate into lower owning and operating
costs for you.

Valves For Added Efficiency

The 325F is built with a back-to-back main control valve, and the benefit to you is reduced
pressure loss and fuel consumption due to the shorter distance oil has to travel. The machine
also features special boom and stick valves that recirculate oil flow in the cylinders during
work instead of going all the way back to the tank. The valves contribute to energy savings,
but their primary benefit is allowing more oil to flow to other functions so you can experience
faster cycle times and more production.

Tool Control For Enhanced Performance

Tool control is a distinct Cat excavator advantage that adds incredible convenience and
enhanced performance to your everyday work. The electronic system stores flows and
pressures for up to 20 work tools right in the cab monitor, eliminating the need to calibrate
tools every time you make a change out front. It works with both one- and two-way-flow
tools, and it can be outfitted with a third pump and medium-pressure circuit so you can use
tools like shears, grapples, and tilt buckets. Standard high-pressure circuits make the tools
open and close; medium-pressure circuits enable them to rotate. Adding an optional quick
coupler circuit makes tool changes even faster for maximum productivity.

Other Cat Exclusive Hydraulics Advantages

1
Main Pump The purpose of the main pump is to convert the engines mechanical
energy into hydraulic energy, and the 325Fs pump does that job very well.
Itsdisplacement (amount of fluid pumped per revolution) is high so the machine
candeliver ground-breaking performance at lower engine speeds. That translates
intoless wear and tear on the hydraulic system and more fuel savings for you.
Capsule Filter The capsule filter is designed to take out impurities and help you
avoid system contamination and accidental spilling. The self-contained, maintenancefriendly filter is easy to remove with a simple wrench. It can take out impurities as
small as beta 10 particles so tiny you cannot see them with the eye. A sensor lets
you know if there is a clog or if pressure exceeds a certain level so you can take action.
Drain Filter A drain filter is one extra level of contamination prevention. Located in
the pump compartment behind the pilot filter, the drain filter purifies the case drain
from the main pumps, swing motor, and travel motors all to enhance the life of the
pumps and motors and uptime for you.

Engine
Powerful and fuel efficient to meet
yourexpectations
Proven Technology

Less Fuel, More Power

Every Tier 4 Final ACERT engine is equipped with a combination

of proven electronic, fuel, air, and aftertreatment components.
Applying these time-tested technologies lets us meet your high
expectations for productivity, fuel efficiency, reliability, and
service life.

While the 325F consumes up to 22% less fuel than the Tier 3 321D,
the engine actually delivers more horsepower. Hows that possible?
Simple. Advanced engine technology and system control.
Isochronous control, for example, permits the engine torun at a
constant lower speed but at an optimum point in the power curve
for maximum efficiency. Automatic engine speed control also
contributes by lowering rpm when the machine isnt calling for it.
Automatic engine idle shutdown turns the engine offwhen its
been idling for more than a specified amount of time, which you
can easily set through the monitor. Plus you have a choice of
three power modes high power, standard power, and eco
mode. Simply change between modes through the switch panel
to meet the work needs in front of you.Collectively, all of these
benefits add up to reduced fuel consumption, reduced repair
andmaintenance costs, and increased engine life for you.

Following are the results you can expect:

Improved fuel efficiency over the Tier 3 321D
High performance across a variety of applications
Enhanced reliability through commonality and simplicity
ofdesign
Maximized uptime and reduced cost with world-class
Catdealer support
Minimized impact on emission systems with no operator
interaction required
Durability with long service life
Better fuel economy with minimized maintenance costs
Same great power and response

Biodiesel Not A Problem

The C4.4 ACERT engine can run on up to B20biodiesel that
meetsASTM 6751 standards allto give you more potential
fuel-savingflexibility.

Work With Confidence

The 325F Ls compact radius design makes it ideal for

working confidently in space-restricted areas like road
jobs with lane closures and next to buildings or other
structures youd like to keep out of harms way. With a
front swing radius of 2.34 m (7'8") and a tail swing radius of
1.72 m (5'8"), the machine can dig, swing, and dump within
a working space of 4.06 m (13'4"). When rotated 90degrees
and working over the side, just 135 mm (5") of counterweight
extends beyond the track width, which allowstrucks and
jersey barriers to be positioned closer tothemachine.
3

Work With Power

Unlike a standard radius machine, the 325Fs boom is
positioned toward the center of the machine. Not only
does this help reduce the front swing radius, but it
alsosupports more lift capacity over the front due
togreater stability.

Work With Comfort

The machine features a full-size roll-over protective
structure (ROPS) cab. Withlow sound levels, high visibility,
convenient access toswitches and controls, and a fully
adjustable seat, you will find it comfortable to work in
allday long.

Caterpillar recommends using appropriate work tools to maximize the value customers receive from our products. Use of work tools, including buckets, which are
outside of Caterpillars recommendations or specifications for weight, dimensions, flows, pressures, etc. may result in less-than-optimal performance, including
but not limited to reductions in production, stability, reliability, and component durability. Improper use of a work tool resulting in sweeping, prying, twisting and/or
catching of heavy loads will reduce the life of the boom and stick.

ISO 10567

*Indicates that the load is limited by hydraulic lifting capacity rather than tipping load. The above loads are in compliance with hydraulic excavator lift capacity
standard ISO 10567:2007. They do not exceed 87% of hydraulic lifting capacity or 75% of tipping load. Weight of all lifting accessories must be deducted from the
above lifting capacities. Lifting capacities are based on the machine standing on a firm, uniform supporting surface. The use of a work tool attachment point to
handle/lift objects, could affect the machine lift performance.
Lift capacity stays with 5% for all available track shoes.
Always refer to the appropriate Operation and Maintenance Manual for specific product information.

ISO 10567

*Indicates that the load is limited by hydraulic lifting capacity rather than tipping load. The above loads are in compliance with hydraulic excavator lift capacity
standard ISO 10567:2007. They do not exceed 87% of hydraulic lifting capacity or 75% of tipping load. Weight of all lifting accessories must be deducted from the
above lifting capacities. Lifting capacities are based on the machine standing on a firm, uniform supporting surface. The use of a work tool attachment point to
handle/lift objects, could affect the machine lift performance.
Lift capacity stays with 5% for all available track shoes.
Always refer to the appropriate Operation and Maintenance Manual for specific product information.
