The new Cat® 395 excavator offers mining and aggregates operations up to 10% more production and maintenance cost reductions of as much as 20% compared to the Cat model it replaces, the 390F. With an operating weight of about 94 tonnes, the new excavator is commonly equipped with a 6.5 m3 bucket when configured for mass excavation. The new 395 features 10% greater stick force and swing torque for greater productivity.
The new dedicated hydrostatic swing circuit delivers increased swing power for faster cycle times, and the circuit enables the excavator to regenerate swing brake energy and independently manage cylinder oil flow. The result is greater fuel efficiency and smoother performance.
Three modes of operation are available: Power, Smart, and ECO. Power mode is maximum power at all times; ECO mode lowers engine speed while maintaining breakout force. Smartmodetakes the guesswork out by automatically matching engine and hydraulic power to the actual digging conditions—all to reduce fuel consumption and optimize performance.
The proven Cat C18 engine delivers 405 kW (543 hp) and is available in emissions configurations to meet requirements in any region. The cooling system features a new on-demand fan that’s designed to operate only when required, which helps save fuel. An available auto reverse function assists with cleaning debris from the cooling cores, which enhances operating efficiency.
The 395 also offers simple, easy-to-use technology to help operators get the most out of the excavator. Cat Payload helps operators increase loading efficiency with on-the-go weighing. Real-time payload estimates can be calculated without swinging to help prevent overloading and underloading trucks. The monitor’s USP port lets operators download results from a single shift all the way up to 30 days of work with no need for an internet connection.
Cat Product Link™ makes managing the machine easy. It provides a constant stream of wireless information available via the online VisionLink® interface, allowing machine managers in the office to quickly evaluate critical operating information.
The 395 booms, sticks, and frame are twice as strong as those on the previous model. Booms have increased top and bottom plate thickness; sticks have increased side, bottom and bracket plate thickness; and frames have increased base frame and counterweight mounting plate thickness. The reinforced car body, track links, track rollers, and boom, stick and bucket cylinders help ensure long-term, trouble-free performance.
Extended and synchronized maintenance intervals contribute to lower costs. The new Cat air filter with an integrated precleaner and primary and secondary filters provides double the dust-holding capacity of the previous design. The new Cat hydraulic return filter has a 3,000-hour service life, and fuel system filters are synchronized for service at 1,000 hours. The fuel system water and sediment drains and hydraulic system oil level check are positioned close together at ground level, making routine maintenance faster, easier, and safer.
The 395 cab offers a front-facing control panel, keyless pushbutton start, and large touchscreen monitor with jog dial keys as standard equipment. Operator comfort is enhanced with a tilt-up console that allows easy cab entry and exit, and advanced viscous cab mounts reduce vibration significantly for reduced fatigue.
Programmable joystick buttons allow setting control patterns and hydraulic response rates for individual preferences. Large front, rear and side windows along with standard rearview and right-hand-sideview cameras enhance visibility. An optional 360-degree-visibility package combines images from multiple cameras to enhance the operator’s sight lines in all directions.
