Caterpillar 321C LCR Excavator Specs

The Caterpillar 321C LCR is a compact radius hydraulic excavator in Caterpillar's 321C series. Designed for work in confined job sites, the LCR configuration reduces tail swing for improved maneuverability near structures, roads, and utilities. It is commonly used in general excavation, trenching, site preparation, utility work, and material handling. The machine typically features a Caterpillar diesel engine, hydraulic boom and arm controls, and an enclosed operator cab or canopy depending on configuration. As an excavator, the 321C LCR is valued for balanced digging performance, stability, and access in restricted spaces.
