Bobcat Australia has extended its line of compact excavators with the introduction of the new 334 D series, a long-arm version of the 331 D series, and the powerful 341 D series.
Bobcat Australia’s Bernard Sheary told Australian Mining that the 334 D series would be particularly suitable for stockpiling, grounds cleaning, and detailed excavation and drainage on mine sites.
Its longer arm increases dig depth by 302mm, boom dump height is increased by 181mm and maximum reach at ground level is increased by 193mm. Its exclusive X-Change mounting system also allows easy exchange between attachments.
With simular dimensions to the 331 D, the 334 D offers improved auxiliary hydraulics, an easy-to-change hydraulic control pattern, new instrumentation and electronics as well as better service access.
The 334 D offers god operator comfort with optional factory installed cab heater and air conditioning, an adjustable suspension seat and a cabin that offers a much quieter working environment.
341 D series
The powerful new 341 D series compact excavator features a longer dipper arm and additional rear counter weight, giving it greater reach and better loading and digging depth.
The longer Dipper Arm increases dig depth by 300mm, boom dump height is increased by 263mm and maximum reach at ground level is increased by 394.5mm. Even though the 341 D has greater reach, and digging depth it still has the same bucket digging force as the 337 D Series.
The 341 D allows operators to do more digging, or truck loading from one spot.
