Hydraulics
Cat hydraulics deliver power and precise control to keep material moving.

Component Layout. The 329D hydraulic system and component locations have been designed to provide a high level of system efficiency. The main pumps, control valves and hydraulic tank are located close together to allow for shorter tubes and lines between components, which reduce friction loss, and pressure drops in the lines. The layout further provides greater operator comfort by placing the radiator on the cab side of the upper structure. This allows incoming air to enter the engine compartment from the operator side and hot air and corresponding engine sound to exit on the opposite side away from the operator. This reduces engine compartment heat and sound being transmitted to the operator.

Heavy Lift Mode. Maximizing lifting performance and boosting the lifting capability. Heavy loads can be easily moved in the full working range of the machine maintaining excellent stability. Hydraulic Cross Sensing System. The hydraulic cross sensing system utilizes each of two hydraulic pumps to 100%, under all operating conditions. This improves productivity with faster implement speeds and quicker, stronger pivot turns. Pilot System. The pilot pump is independent from the main pumps and controls the front linkage, swing and travel operations. Boom and Stick Regeneration Circuit. Boom and stick regeneration circuit saves energy during boom-down and stick-in operation which increases efficiency, reduces cycle times and pressure loss for higher productivity, lower operating costs and increased fuel efficiency.

Electronic Control System. Ten hydraulic pump flow and pressure settings can be preset, eliminating the need to adjust the hydraulics each time a tool is changed. Auxiliary Valve. The auxiliary valve is standard. Control circuits are optional, allowing for operation of high and medium pressure tools such as shears, grapples, hammers, pulverizers, etc. Hydraulic Cylinder Snubbers. Located at the rod-end of the boom cylinders and both ends of the stick cylinders to cushion shocks while reducing sound levels and extending component life.

SmartBoom. Reduces stress and vibrations transmitted to the machine and provides a more comfortable environment.

Rock Scraping. Scraping rock and finishing work is easy and fast. SmartBoom simplifies the task and allows the operator to concentrate on stick and bucket, while boom freely goes up and down without using pump flow.

Hammer Work. The front parts automatically follow the hammer while penetrating the rock. Blank shots or excessive force on the hammer are avoided resulting in longer life for the hammer and the machine. Similar advantages with vibratory plates.

Truck Loading. Loading trucks from a bench is more productive and fuel efficient as the return cycle is reduced while the boom down function does not require pump flow.
