The Caterpillar Cat 395 is a powerful, next-generation large excavator (introduced approximately 2020–2022), designed for mining, surface mining, and heavy earthmoving projects. Here are its key features:
Operating weight approx. 94 t (≈ 207,400 lb), powered by a Cat C18 diesel engine with approx. 543 hp (405 kW).
Efficiency & Performance: Up to 10% more swing torque and stick force compared to the predecessor Cat 390F – for larger buckets and faster loading cycles.
Productivity & operating costs: Up to 20% less maintenance effort thanks to reinforced structures, more efficient filters and extended service intervals.
Hydraulics & energy management: New hydrostatic swing unit regenerates braking energy, ensures smoother operation and higher fuel efficiency.
Operating modes: Power (full power), ECO (fuel-saving) and Smart (automatic adaptation to operating conditions) to optimize efficiency.
Technical details: Digging depth up to approx. 9.7 m, reach approx. 14.7 m, bucket volume typically 5.2 m³, swing torque approx. 362 kN m.
