340 Long Reach Excavator

Go the Distance

The Cat® 340 LRE helps you hit your targets all day long. With standard Cat® Payload and 2D Grade, you can reach up to distances nearly 60 feet (18.28 meters) away. Add in an ergonomic cab, long maintenance intervals that lower your maintenance costs, and a power system that improves fuel efficiency, and you won't find a better excavator for cleaning ditches, canals, and waterways or doing heavier-duty work like dredging and long-distance excavation.

Benefits

Nearly 35% More Reach

Cat Long Reach Excavation Excavators reach nearly 35% farther than those with the standard reach configuration, with approximately 66% of the digging force.

Designed to Dig

Reinforcements in the front linkage and frame allow digging power at a distance without sacrificing durability. A heavier counterweight than equivalent standard reach excavators provides greater stability. Get added versatility with optional tool control for select hydro-mechanical tools

Stable Foundation

The heavy-duty, high, wide undercarriage provides a stable, rugged platform for long-reach digging and loading applications with high ground clearance.

Next Gen Features

Take advantage of Cat Next Generation Excavator features including improved operator comfort, reduced maintenance costs, and better fuel economy. Long reach excavation excavators are compatible with Next Generation Excavator technologies.

  • 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 1.000 kg (2.205lb.) of refrigerant, which has a CO2 equivalent of 1.430 metric tonnes (1.576 tons). – If equipped with R1234yf (Global Warming Potential = 0.501), the system contains 0.790 kg (1.742 lb.) of refrigerant, which has a CO2 equivalent of 0.001 metric tonnes (0.001 tons).

    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)*** 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).
