This operator work station is quiet with
ergonomic control placement
and convenient adjustments, low lever
and pedal effort, ergonomic seat design,
and highly efficient ventilation. The
result is a cab 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. The upper left side door
window can slide open. The lower
window provides a view to the tracks
and the ground next to the machine. The
rear window offers a good view behind
and to the left, aided by a lower hood
profile.
Greater Gontrol Gonvenience. Each of
the controls is positioned within easy
reach of the operator.
The double wall, pressed cab shell is
mounted to the swing frame using butyl
rubber mounts for reduced sound and
vibrations.
1 Gaterpillar Electronic Gontrol System
panel includes fuel level, hydraulic oil
temperature and engine temperature
gauges, machine condition indicators
and operator controls in a single
console for ease of use (refer to
Electronic Control System on pagel).
2 Automatic climate control maintains
constant temperature in the cab on air
conditioned machines. The operator
can switch to standard air conditioning
system with fresh or recirculated air.
3 Joysticks control all implements and
swing functions with minimal effort.
The integrated joystick consoles
adjust to operator preference. Joystick
consoles are suspended as part of the
seat affangement. Height can be
adjusted independently of the seat.
4 Dial throttle with ten settings for
simple, precise engine speed
adjustment.
5 Hand or foot actuated travel controls
allow the operator to move the
excavator while working the front-
end. Hand levers are easily
removable.
6 Optional straight travel pedal
provides forward or reverse straight

Booms, Sticks and Attachments
The 3228 L has designed-inflexibility to help bring higher production and fficiency to your jobs.

Select the right combination for the job

with your Gat dealer and you'll help
ensure top production from the start.

Gaterpillar excavator booms and sticks

are built for performance and long
service life.
r Castings and forgings are used at high
stress areas such as boom nose, boom
foot, boom cylinder and stick foot.
r Large, welded, box-section structures
with thick, multi-plate fabrications in
high-stress areas.
r Construction allows structures to flex
and dissipate stresses.

The choice of two booms and four

sticks, plus a wide selection of buckets
and attachments, means the 322B L
offers alarge combination of reach and
digging forces for optimum versatility.
I All Gaterpillar booms and sticks have
internal baffles which give the
structures extra strength and
durability to better withstand
torsional loads.
The Reach Boom (R) 5.9 m (19'4")
features an optimum design that
maximizes digging envelopes with three
stick choices.
r The R3.68 stick gives the largest
working envelope.
r The R2.95S uses higher capacity
buckets and is best suited for
trenching, excavation and general
construction applications.
r The R2.5S stick provides a good
digging envelope with large buckets
and stability for hammer work.
