Benefits

HIgh Fuel Efficiency

With larger hydraulic pumps, an advanced electro-hydraulic system, and increased bucket capacity, this machine delivers high productivity per unit of fuel.

Low Maintenance Costs

Fewer maintenance items paired with extended and more synchronized maintenance intervals increases uptime and reduces costs.

High Operating Efficiency

Cat Grade with 2D, Cat Payload, Auto Dig Boost*, and Auto Heavy Lift* come standard, helping operators dig with precision, load faster, and move more material every hour.

*Not available in Japan or on Super Long Reach configurations.

 

Low CO2 Emissions

The 330 emits lower CO2 emissions compared to the previous 330F.

  • Air Conditioning System
    Air Conditioning
    The air conditioning system on this machine contains the fluorinated greenhouse gas refrigerant R134a or R1234yf. See the label or instruction manual for identification of the gas. If equipped with R134a (Global Warming Potential = 1430), the system contains 0.85 kg (1.9 lb) of refrigerant which has a CO2 equivalent of 1.216 metric tonnes (1.340 tons). If equipped with R1234yf (Global Warming Potential = 0.5), the system contains 0.78 kg (1.7 lb) of refrigerant which has a CO2 equivalent of 0.001 metric tonnes (0.001 tons).

    Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with fan, air intake system, exhaust system and alternator with engine speed at 2,200 rpm. Advertised power is tested per the specified standard in effect at the time of manufacture.
    Note (2)
    ¹Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) and are compatible* with ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels** up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)*** or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details. *While Caterpillar engines are compatible with these alternative fuels, some regions may not allow their use. **Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from lower-carbon intensity fuels are essentially the same as traditional fuels. ***Engines with no aftertreatment devices are compatible with higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel (for use of blends higher than 20% biodiesel, consult your Cat dealer).
