320E L Hydraulic Excavator

320E L Hydraulic Excavator

A great all-around excavator, the 320E is easy to maneuver, yet powerful enough to handle tough jobs. Lift capacity has been improved by 5 percent on the standard machine and up to 20 percent on the Heavy Lift configuration. A lower emissions engine boosts fuel efficiency, while other new features enhance safety and productivity, cut service time and reduce operating costs.
