• Pin height of up to 35.5 ft (10.8 m) facilitates low-level demolition, sorting, and excavation tasks
• Advanced technology enhances demolition work efficiency and enables remote operation
• Next-generation demolition cab prioritizes operator safety, comfort, and productivity
• Easy to transport with an operating weight under 69,500 lb (31.52 tonnes) when equipped with a 2-yd (1.54 m3) bucket
• Outside width of 10.5 ft (3.19 m) with 24-in (600 mm) shoes simplifies transportation
Designed for Precision and Versatility:
The Cat® 330 Straight Boom excavator boasts exceptional performance in low-level building demolition applications, offering a maximum digging depth of 19.1 ft (5.8 m) and a maximum vertical reach of 40.9 ft (12.48 m). This vertical reach is 8.0 ft (2.45 m) higher than that of a standard Cat 330 excavator, making it ideal for demolishing three-story buildings. Moreover, the 330 SB is compatible with a wide range of demolition tools, including hammers, multi-processors, grapples, pulverizers, and quick couplers.
Enhanced Technology for Efficiency
Equipped with standard Cat technologies, the 330 Straight Boom excavator highlights versatility, precision, and efficiency in demolition and excavation applications. Powered by the reliable 275 hp (205 kW) Cat C7.1 engine, the excavator offers three power modes — Smart, Power and Eco — to match engine and hydraulic power to the task, thereby reducing fuel consumption. Additionally, the excavator's electrohydraulic system effortlessly handles different materials, while standard quick couplers and high-pressure circuits enable the use of various Cat demolition attachments.

Operator Comfort and Safety
The next-generation demolition cab of the Cat 330 Straight Boom excavator prioritizes operator comfort and safety. Featuring all machine controls positioned in front of the operator, the cab eliminates the need to reach backward, enhancing operational convenience. Customization of machine functions is made easy through the 10-in (254-mm) touchscreen monitor, while standard rearview and right-hand-sideview camera feeds ensure clear visibility of surroundings.
Remote Operation and Maintenance
With Cat Command technology, remote excavator operation enhances operating safety and comfort. Operators can achieve consistent work quality both inside the cab and remotely, thanks to onboard electronics, vision systems, and offboard controls. Furthermore, rugged design elements, such as reinforced booms and sticks, along with operator protective guards, ensure durability and safety during demolition operations.
Efficient Maintenance and Cost Savings
Lowering long-term owning and operating costs, the Cat 330 Straight Boom excavator features extended, synchronized 1,000-hour change intervals for fuel filters. Additionally, grouped fuel filters and simplified maintenance procedures contribute to reduced downtime and increased productivity. Remote diagnostics and software updates further streamline maintenance processes, ensuring optimal performance.
