CAT 345 GC
Pros
- Designed as the GC (“General Construction”) variant with efficiency focus vs heavier models like 345C or 349.
- Good reach and depth for large trenching, earthmoving and general excavation work.
- 630 L/min flow supports heavy implement movement and attachments smoothly.
CAT 316 GC
Pros
- Cat reliability, dealer support and global parts network — especially beneficial for ongoing uptime.
- Designed for low owning & operating costs with extended maintenance intervals versus predecessors.
- Improved swing torque and drawbar pull vs older models.
