323 Compact Excavator

323, impressive cycle times in a compact package

  • Compactness – transportability (trailer) – light weight
  • Easy maintenance
  • Retractable undercarriage for increased stability
  • “Cylinder over boom” design – protection – increased lifting capability
  • Sliding blade extensions to get into confined spaces

The 323 is a mini excavator in the 0-2 T class.

Developed as a light weight machine that can be easily transported on a trailer towed by a small truck, van or even a passenger car, the 323 offers high performance in rental, landscaping, municipalities and utilities.

The retractable undercarriage provides excellent stability when fully expanded and easy access to confined spaces when fully retracted.

This 323 features the “cylinder over boom design”. This concept offers better protection for the boom cylinder and a lighter workgroup for carrying more weight in the bucket. The canopy version offers access from both sides of the vehicle for operator comfort.

All service points are easily accessible thanks to a large tailgate to enhance daily maintenance and reduce downtime.

The Kubota engine provides excellent power and reliability for outstanding performances.

The blade extensions are sliding extensions on the blade itself and do not need to be removed. This frees up the space previously used to store the blade extensions under the seat in the cab.

The 6 mm tailgate is designed to provide a high degree of rigidity.

Compared to the 319 and 321, this model offers increased dump height, higher reach, improved operating weight canopy, longer arm and superior dig depth.

This model is equipped with auxiliary hydraulics providing a 33.8 l/min flow with 2-way control to get the best out of our attachments. The auxiliary lines are mounted with closed quick connectors, so no dirt can get in.

Trailer transport

The 323 is specially designed for trailer transport, enhancing flexibility when moving the machine from one jobsite to another.

 Expandable undercarriage

When the undercarriage is retracted, the 321 is only 980 mm wide, ideal to travel through narrow spaces. 
Once on the jobsite, the undercarriage can be hydraulically expanded to 1363 mm for maximum stability when working.

Spacious Cab

As on all Bobcat mini excavators, the cab is very spacious, with all controls in a convenient position. This makes the machines very comfortable to operate.
In the cab version, the noise level at operator ear has been reduced to 76 dBa, providing a comfortable working environment.
Convenient pedals for travel control in both directions are standard equipment on both machines.
Auxiliary hydraulic lines for breakers and other attachments are controlled via the left pedal.
Second speed selection button is located on the blade lever for easy control when working with the blade.

Cylinder Over Boom Design

The 321 features the “Cylinder Over Boom design” concept. This has several advantages:
• Better protection for the boom cylinder. Since the cylinder is mounted on top of the boom, the cylinder cannot be damaged by touching it with the bucket.
• The stresses are transferred directly from one cylinder to another. Since there is less torsion in the boom structure, it can be made lighter. A lighter boom, in turn, means that the bucket can carry more weight when digging.
• The auxiliary lines located on top of the cylinder, giving good protection. In addition, the hoses at the base of the boom are routed for good protection.

Standard Auxiliary Hydraulics

Auxiliary hydraulics are standard equipment. A selector valve to switch from direct to tank to 2-way control is standard.
The auxiliary lines are mounted with closed quick connectors, so no dirt can get in.

Expandable undercarriage

The 323 has an expandable undercarriage. Fully retracted for travel, the undercarriage is 980 mm wide, while it expands up to 1360 mm for full stability when working.
• The expandable undercarriage greatly increases the stability of the excavator.
• Easy manœuvering in narrow position.
• 3 sealed track rollers each side.
Classleading service access
Excellent service access for which Bobcat is well
known.
All service points are easily accessible to enhance
daily maintenance and reduce downtime.

Tailgate

The tailgate is made from hardened steel, 6 mm thick. This compares with the use of 4 mm steel for the 319.
In addition, compared with the 319, the tailgate is designed to provide a higher degree of rigidity, thanks in part to the lower plate of the tailgate.
Moreover, the counterweight is welded on the inside of the tailgate in order to ensure the extra weight is in the optimal position. The benefit for the customer is better stability and increased lifting capacity.
