ergonomic control placement
and convenient adjustments. Low lever
and pedal effort, ergonomic seat design,
and highly efficient ventilation create a
cab environment that puts the operator
firmly and comfortably in control which
can translate into greater productivity.
Excellent viewing area through large,
wide windows. A large, wrap-over
skylight provides upward visibility.
The upper front window includes a top
mounted wiper and the upper left side
door window slides open. The lower
window provides visibility to the tracks
and the area next to the machine while
the rear window offers a good view
behind and to the left.

Boom regeneration circuit diverts oil
within the boom cylinder circuit to
lower the boom. This allows pumps to
have most pressure and flow available
for other circuits.
Stick regeneration circuit also diverts
oil within the stick cylinder circuit to
allow fast stick in speed during multiple
function operation.
Pump flow decreases when controls are
in neutral for reduced fuel consumption
and sound.
Auxiliary hydraulic valve is standard
on the 345B Series II for use with
optional hydraulic circuits.
Auxiliary hydraulic flow control system
option provides up to four programmable
flow presets to precisely match hydraulic
tool requirements (i.e., hammers,
shears, processors, brush cutters, etc.).
Hydraulic cylinder snubbers at rod-end
of boom cylinders and both ends of
stick cylinders cushion shocks, reduce
sound and increase cylinder life.
Caterpillar XT hose and reusable
couplings meet the critical flexibility
and strength demands of the 345B
Series II.
■ O-ring face seal couplings provide
positive sealing for reliable, leak-free
connections.
■ Hydraulic tank located closer to

Three-stage control maximizes fuel
efficiency and reduces sound levels.
■ When placed in the “OFF” mode,
if a no-load condition or light-load
condition continues more than three
seconds, the automatic engine control
reduces engine speed by a maximum
of 100 rpm.
■ When placed in the “ON” mode,
if a no-load condition or light-load
condition continues more than three
seconds, the automatic engine control
reduces engine speed from high idle
to 1300 rpm.
■ At any time, the operator can activate
a switch on the top of the right control
lever to reduce the engine speed to
1000 rpm. This feature, referred to
as one-touch idle, can be used both
to conserve fuel and to reduce engine
sound levels. Activate switch again
to return to previous level.

Structures
The 345B Series II structural components are the backbone of the machine’s durability.
1 Advanced carbody design for fixed
gauge undercarriage stands up in the
toughest applications.
■ Modified X-shaped, box-section
carbody provides excellent
resistance to torsional bending.
■ Upper structure weight and stresses
are distributed evenly across the
full length of the track roller frame.
■ Smooth transitions and long welds
reduce stresses at the carbody-to-
roller frame junctions for excellent
durability.
■ Robot welding ensures consistent,
high-quality welds throughout the
manufacturing process.
■ Steep track roller frames are easier
to clean.

Undercarriage
Durable undercarriage absorbs stresses and provides excellent stability.
Precision robotic welding ensures a
quality weld every time. These welds
increase rigidity, reduce internal
stresses and enhance durability for
the chassis and track roller frames.
Heavy-duty, X-shaped chassis design.
Cat undercarriage components are
purposely oversized to offer heavy-duty
performance and durability.
Strutted track links are sealed for long
life. Track rollers, carrier rollers and
idlers are also sealed and lubricated for
excellent service life.
Steep track roller

and makes digging out easier.
Standard idler guards and center
track guides maintain track alignment.
Optional sprocket guiding guards
or full length track guiding guards
are available for additional protection
on steep side slopes.
Smooth autoshifting two-speed travel
motors offer top travel speeds and
plenty of pull on slopes or turns.

1 Long (L) fixed gauge undercarriage
maximizes stability and lifting
capacity. Long, wide and sturdy
undercarriage offers a stable work
platform.
2 Long variable gauge (VG)
undercarriage provides ease of
transport and a stable platform
when working on a variety of sites.
The wider stance of the variable
gauge improves stability over
the side for increased lifting.
The increased stability also allows
for larger buckets that can result in
higher production.

Booms, Sticks and Attachments
The 345B Series II is designed with the flexibility to help deliver higher production and
efficiency .

Select the right combination for the job
with your Cat Dealer to help ensure top
production from the start. Choose from
three booms and four sticks, plus a wide
selection of buckets and attachments.
The 345B Series II offers a large
combination of reach and digging forces
for optimum versatility.
Choose from a variety of work tools
such as hammers, shears, rotators,
grapples or crushers. Ask your Cat
Dealer for information on attachments
or special configurations.
Caterpillar excavator booms and sticks
are built for performance and long
service life.
■ Castings and forgings are used at high
stress areas such as boom nose, boom
foot, boom cylinder and stick foot.
■ Large, welded, box-section structures
with thick, multi-plate fabrications in
high-stress areas.
■ Construction allows structures to flex
and dissipate stresses.
■ All booms and sticks are stress
relieved to maximize fatigue life and
durability, while minimizing weight
for improved performance.
Reach and Special Applications Sticks:
■ The R 4.8 m (15'9") stick gives the
largest working envelope and uses
medium buckets.
■ The R/SA 3.9 m (12'10") stick uses
higher capacity buckets and is best
suited to trenching, excavation and
general construction applications.
■ The R/SA 3.35 m (11'0") stick has a
tighter working envelope but uses the
largest buckets of the reach stick
family.

Buckets
Extensive selection of buckets helps optimize machine performance.

Caterpillar buckets increase service
life and reduce repair costs. All
Caterpillar 345B Series II F linkage
buckets include a lift eye.
■ Dual radius design for increased heel
clearance and reduced wear.
■ Robot welding of hinge assembly
for increased weld penetration and
longer life.
■ High strength and heat treated steel
in high wear areas.
General Purpose (GP) Buckets for
digging in soft to hard ground with low
to moderate abrasive materials.
1 Heavy Duty (HD) Buckets for digging
in moderate to hard abrasive materials.
Differences from GP buckets are:
■ Thicker cutting edges and thicker
bottom and side wear plates improve
performance in demanding
applications.
2 Heavy Duty Rock (HDR) Buckets
for digging in fragmented rock,
frozen ground, caliche and highly
abrasive materials. Differences
from HD buckets are:
■ Larger Ground Engaging Tools
(GET).
■ Additional, thicker wear plates
extend beyond side plates for
corner and rear dent protection
and improved durability.
■ Larger side plates provide
additional dent protection.
■ Sidebar protectors decrease
sidebar wear.
3 Heavy Duty Rock Ripping (RR)
Buckets dig hard rock and work
in areas where material is virgin or
poorly prepared. Differences from
HDR buckets are:
■ Stepped tooth design allows one
or two tip penetration for higher
break-out forces, keeps the trench
floor flat.
■ Thicker side wear plates and cutting
edges mean additional wear life.
Caterpillar Ground Engaging Tools
(GET) include a variety of side cutters,
sidebar protectors, tip options and
adapters to match operating conditions.
