Cat 330 expert review

Reviewed by Adrien E. on February 9, 2026

Overview

The Cat 330 is engineered for contractors who need consistent output in heavy excavation and bulk material handling. Its strong hydraulics, long boom, and high digging forces make it effective for infrastructure, utilities, and quarry-related work.

Pros High digging force and reach. Strong hydraulic performance with fast cycle times.
Cons Higher fuel consumption compared to smaller mid-size excavators.

Performance & Efficiency

The Cat C9 ACERT engine delivers 201.34 kW of net power with reliable torque under load. A 560 lpm hydraulic system supports heavy attachments and smooth multi-function operation.

In-Cab & Operator Experience

The cab provides good visibility, ergonomic controls, and stable machine response, helping reduce operator fatigue during long shifts.

In Comparison

Compared to the Cat 336, the Cat 330 offers slightly lower operating weight with similar performance. Against the Kobelco SK350, it stands out for hydraulic responsiveness and attachment versatility.

Verdict

Rated 5 stars, the Cat 330 is a dependable medium excavator in the AED 165,500–265,000 range, ideal for large excavation and infrastructure projects.
