The weight class of the Caterpillar 340 sizes the attachment. It does not tell you the pin diameter, the pin spacing or the stick width, and those decide whether an attachment fits. Measure them on the machine, or send us the measurements of the bucket it runs today.
Heavy excavators dig rock, load trucks and work in quarries, so wear decides the bucket as much as capacity does. Rock and reinforced buckets carry thicker wear steel, teeth and side cutters, and the bucket is sized to the trucks it loads and to the density of the material.DBS - engineered rock bucket for excavator
Quick coupler brackets at this weight
In our model tables, the attachments listed for the Caterpillar 340 at its weight are built with these brackets. Each code opens the models that list it.
Brackets we build attachments with in this weight range. Not a confirmed fit.
- Measure the diameter of both bucket pins.
- Measure the distance between the pin centres.
- Measure the inside width between the stick ears.
- If the machine runs a quick coupler, note its make and type.

What the 340 figures mean for its attachments
- The main pump delivers up to 560 l/min at 350 bar. That is the pump output of the whole machine, not the flow an attachment gets.
- Caterpillar lists this quick coupler for it: Pin Grabber QC. The bracket on every attachment has to match the coupler.
- It digs down to 8,260 mm. That is the deepest trench it can open.
- Its maximum reach is 11,810 mm.
- It dumps at up to 7,420 mm, so a truck or skip side has to sit below that height.
- Caterpillar offers arms from 2,550 to 3,900 mm. A longer arm reaches further, a shorter one handles a heavier bucket.
- Caterpillar lists buckets from 900 to 1,850 mm wide for this machine.Our sizes in that range: DB - heavy duty digging bucket (DB-400); SDB - heavy duty skeleton DB bucket (SDB-400); DBF - flat-top digging bucket for quick coupler (DBF-400); RDBF - flat-top skeleton DBF bucket on rods (RDBF-400); DSX - Nordic heavy duty digging bucket (DS-HD-400)
- Caterpillar lists bucket capacities from 0.95 to 2.7 m³.
- Bucket breakout force is 202 kN and arm crowd force 143 kN. That is the force a bucket or ripper works with at the tooth.
- Caterpillar gives a lifting capacity of 8,250 kg. Check a heavy grab or hammer, plus its load, against the full load chart.
- For transport it measures 11,180 x 3,590 x 3,660 mm (length, width, height).
