Cat^® 395 Front Shovel (FS) Hydaulic Excavator

    
• Work up to 3000 m (9,840 ft) above sea level without de-rating.
    
• The exclusive hydrostatic swing circuit features a dedicated bi-directional swing pump, swing motors, a charge pump, and a charge accumulator. The swing pump supplies oil to the swing motor; the charge pump and charge accumulator prevent cavitation (the formation of air bubbles) and overheating. The circuit enables the regeneration of swing brake energy and independent management of cylinder oil flow, resulting in higher efficiency and smoother, more predictable performance when multitasking with the excavator.
    
• Powerful swing torque easily handles changes in momentum, uneven terrain, and consistent high-impact connections, helping operators make their work swift and precise.
    
• Caterpillar manufactures parts to withstand harsh conditions. The company uses only high-quality materials to create parts that withstand hours of rigorous use. That’s why Cat stands out— the brand’s reputation is built on the exceptional durability of its machines.
    
• Did you know baffle plates help increase an excavator’s strength-to-weight ratio? That is why Caterpillar incorporates plates in high-stress areas, such as the boom, stick, and frame. Reinforcing the machine without adding significantly more weight also helps provide years of reliable performance, even in the harshest environments.
    
• The cylinder rods are reinforced with additional wear rings to help reduce oil leaks. The car body features thick baffle plates for extended service life. The thick track link has large bolt joints to help maintain bolt retention. Track rollers feature a large shaft diameter to help prevent bending and oil leaks while increasing the 395’s loading capacity, resulting in more reliable production for you.
    
• Grease sealed between track pins and bushings reduces travel noise and prevents debris from entering the undercarriage, helping extend its life.
    
• The center track guiding guard helps align the excavator track when traveling and working on slopes.
    
• The sloped track frame prevents the accumulation of mud and debris, helping reduce the risk of track damage.
    
• Advansys™ bucket tips increase penetration and improve cycle times. Tip changes can be performed quickly with a simple lug wrench, eliminating the need for a hammer or special work tool, thereby enhancing safety and uptime.
    
• Match the excavator to the job with three operating modes: Power, Smart, and ECO.
    
• Smart mode automatically adjusts power for optimal fuel efficiency, providing less power for tasks like swinging and more power for digging.
    
• Enhanced heavy lift mode increases system pressure to help you quickly pick up and place heavy material.
    
• Auto warm-up speeds up the warming of hydraulic oil in cold temperatures, helping to prolong the life of components.
    
• Don’t let the temperature stop you from working. This excavator has a high-ambient capability of 52 °C (125°F) and a standard cold start capability of –18 °C (- 0.4°F).
    
• The engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, Korea Stage V, and Japan 2014 emission standards with an aftertreatment system that requires no operator input or downtime.

    
• With the touch of fingertips and navigation of user-friendly icons, the latest operator-oriented User Interface (UI) maximizes uptime and gets crews to work without delay.
    
• The interface enables operators to maintain accuracy and maximize every second of their shift. It also makes it manageable for a single person to check and adjust for bucket wear.
    
• VisionLink® provides actionable data insights for all assets – regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer.* Review equipment data from your desktop or mobile device to maximize uptime and optimize assets. Dashboards provide information such as hours, miles, location, idle time, and fuel utilization. Make informed decisions that lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your jobsite.
    
• Cat® Remote Troubleshoot is a mobile application that allows your Cat dealer to perform diagnostic testing on your connected machine remotely to help ensure that issues are resolved quickly and with less downtime.

Like New Again
Cat Reman products help expand service offerings for our customers by providing the quality and precision of new Cat parts while lowering the total cost of ownership and reducing the need for raw materials. Cat parts are remanufactured to strict quality standards, offer new performance, have a long, reliable service life, and a same-as-new Cat parts warranty. Over-the-counter availability gives customers more options at repair and overhaul time, providing maximum productivity at lower costs.

Once a product reaches the end of its serviceable life, the returned core arrives at a Reman facility where it is disassembled down to the smallest part, losing its original identity. Each element is cleaned and inspected against strict engineering specifications to determine if it can be effectively salvaged. Accepted worn-out components are then converted into production-ready material through advanced salvage techniques, which use the same rigorous engineering process that goes into new Cat machines.

A leader in remanufacturing technologies and processes, Cat Reman returns products to the same-as-new condition at the end of their serviceable lives and helps reduce owning and operating costs by providing our customers with the same-as-new quality at a fraction of the cost of a new part. Through remanufacturing, Caterpillar reduces waste, lowers greenhouse gas production, and minimizes the need for raw materials.

Rebuild for Second Life and Beyond
Cat excavators and other Cat machines are designed to be rebuilt. Through the Cat Certified Rebuild Program, you can get a like-new excavator with a like-new warranty at a fraction of the cost of a comparable new model—all to reduce waste and drive down your lifetime operating cost.
 
The program starts with a thorough inspection. Then, the excavator is disassembled and rebuilt from the ground up, including all Cat product updates. More than 350 tests and inspections ensure the same high level of quality as a new Cat excavator.
 
Consult your Cat dealer for more information.

Steady Market Value
Heavy machinery loses its market value over time as it accumulates wear and usage, meaning you can expect a marked decrease in value if you ever try to sell it.

However, the market value of used Cat products is relatively stable, so even if you purchase used equipment, the value tends to remain steady.

When given proper maintenance and care, a new or used Cat machine can help you maximize your productivity and profitability.

If you prefer buying used equipment, shopping the Caterpillar brand is a great option to ensure you get the most out of your investment.

Ask your Cat dealer today about the many services that help you do your work your way.
