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.
ZOOMLION ZE215E
Pros
- 9.6–9.8 m digging/reaching distance is competitive in the 20-ton class — enough for standard trenching and material placement tasks.
- 9.6 m max digging height means you can load many AY/HD trucks and dump into bins without repositioning too often.
- 6.7–6.8 m dumping height lets you build moderate stockpiles or load medium chassis vehicles without excessive boom extension.
