Caterpillar 321D LCR Excavator

The Caterpillar 321D LCR is a hydraulic excavator in Caterpillar's compact radius lineup, designed for work in confined job sites where tail swing clearance is limited. It is commonly used in utility, urban construction, roadwork, and general excavation applications. The 321D LCR features a reduced tail swing design, hydraulic performance suited for digging and lifting, and an operator cab configured for visibility and control. As part of the Caterpillar excavator range, it is built for earthmoving, trenching, site preparation, and material handling tasks. The model is recognized for balancing maneuverability, reach, and digging capability in restricted spaces.
