Welded to EN ISO 3834-2. Agree it as a standing term of supply and the EN 10204 3.1 certificate ships with every attachment. You also get the CE declaration of conformity for every quick coupler and hydraulic attachment. See the certificates.

Before you order: check the interface

The weight class of the Caterpillar M323 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.

At this weight the choice is mostly about the material. A general purpose bucket suits soil and gravel, a reinforced bucket with thicker wear parts suits mixed ground and broken rock, and the quick coupler on the machine sets the bracket every attachment needs.

Quick coupler brackets at this weight

In our model tables, the attachments listed for the Caterpillar M323 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.

  1. Measure the diameter of both bucket pins.
  2. Measure the distance between the pin centres.
  3. Measure the inside width between the stick ears.
  4. If the machine runs a quick coupler, note its make and type.

What the M323 figures mean for its attachments

  • Its auxiliary circuit is rated at 250 l/min and 350 bar. A breaker, auger, tilt rotator or other hydraulic tool states the oil flow it needs, so choose one whose range includes this figure.
  • The main pump delivers up to 306 l/min at 350 bar. That is the pump output of the whole machine, not the flow an attachment gets.
  • Its arm is 2,000 mm long.
  • Bucket breakout force is 117 kN and arm crowd force 83 kN. That is the force a bucket or ripper works with at the tooth.

Figures as published by Caterpillar in its own documents.

M323: what the brochure names

Features Caterpillar names in its own brochure for the M323. Some of them may be optional, so check the machine's spec before you order.

  • An engine that meets EU Stage V.
  • A load-sensing hydraulic system.
  • Work modes you select from the cab.
  • A short tail swing, for work next to walls and traffic.
