Reviewed by Raul M. on September 3, 2025

Overview

The 349F L is a large crawler excavator weighing 48.6 t (107,145 lb), equipped with a 311 kW (417 hp) Cat C13 ACERT engine. It achieves a dig depth of 7.66 m and horizontal reach of about 11.73 m. Bucket capacity is 3.1 m³, tear-out force 267 kN, and transport size is roughly 12.5 m long, 3.34 m wide, and about 3.71 m high.

Pros Large bucket and depth boost dig output.
Fully integrated Cat tech increases precision and reduces mistakes.

Cons Nearly 49 t of mass demands solid ground and careful transport prep.
Advanced tech setup requires operator training to unlock full value.

Performance & Efficiency

Smart Mode aligns hydraulic and engine output to load needs, enhancing fuel efficiency by up to 10 %. Maintenance is more economical—15 % lower—thanks to extended service intervals and accessible layout.

In Comparison

Compared to older 349s, the F L adds power and smart tools without much extra weight. Compared to newer Cat excavators, it keeps things simpler while staying production-ready.
