Work Tools – Attachments

The 325D has an extensive selection of work tools to optimize machine performance.

Heavy Duty Buckets. Heavy-duty (HD) buckets are used for a wide range of moderately abrasive applications such as mixed dirt, clay and rock. HD buckets have best loading and dumping characteristics and will empty easier

in cohesive material. More robust construction than the GP buckets.

General Purpose Capacity (GP-C) Buckets. General Purpose Capacity Buckets are best for digging in soft to hard ground with low to moderately abrasive materials.

Heavy-Duty Power (HDP) Buckets.

For use in moderately abrasive applications where breakout force and cycle times are critical. Maximizes tip force and improves cycle times in most materials.

Heavy Duty Rock Buckets. Heavy-duty rock for aggressive bucket loading in highly abrasive application such as shot rock and granite. Features include:

Thicker wear plates to extend the life of bucket in severe applications

Side wear plated extend further up the side of the bucket for maximum protection in rocky soils

Buckets accept sidebar protectors for best sidebar protection, or side cutters for best fill characteristics and bucket wear protection

Ditch Cleaning (DC) Buckets.

These wide shallow buckets are best for bank forming, ditch cleaning, and finishing.

Caterpillar Ground Engaging Tools (GET). All bucket in the CB/DB Family utilize the Caterpillar K Series® GET. This GET system uses a vertical retainer that is easier to remove and install than the Cat J Series pin. The tip shapes are more aggressive and offer better penetration than the previous generation of tips. There are also a variety of side cutters and sidebar protectors to match operating conditions.

Vibratory Plate Compactor

Caterpillar® Vibratory Plate Compactors provide superior compaction force in

a reliable, low-maintenance package. These units produce high-power impulses at a rate of 2,200 impacts per minute. The forces generated by this vibration drive soil particles close together for solid, stable compactions. Whether in a trench or on a slope, driving sheeting or posts, Cat Compactors are the superior choice for any job site’s compaction tasks.

Multi-processor

Multi-processors do the work of many types of demolition tools by use of interchangeable jaw sets. Changing jaws allows a single unit to crush, pulverize and perform a variety of specialized cutting tasks, such as cutting steel rebar and tanks.
