390F L HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR

Power to move your material with speed and precision

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

A Powerful, Efficient Design When it comes to moving heavy material quickly and efficiently, you need hydraulic horsepower - the type of ground-breaking power the 390F can deliver. Major components like the pumps, main control valve, and oil tank are positioned to reduce the effects of heat and hydraulic sound level on operators. And they are close together so shorter tubes and lines can be used. All of this leads to less friction loss, reduced pressure drops, and more power to the ground for the tons of work you need to get done.

Control Like No Other Controllability is one of the main attributes of Cat excavators, and one of the key contributors to this is the new ACS valve. The valve is designed to intelligently manage restrictions and flows. It opens slowly when your range of joystick lever movement is small and opens rapidly when movement is high. It puts flow exactly where you need it when you need it, which means you will experience much smoother operation, greater efficiency, and lower fuel consumption. The ACS valve also has a new automatic hydraulic oil warm-up function - a definite plus in putting your machine to work more quickly in cold weather conditions.

Powerful and fuel efficient to meet your expectations

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Proven Technology Every U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final ACERT engine is equipped with a combination of proven electronic, fuel, air, and aftertreatment components. Applying these time-tested technologies lets us meet your high expectations for productivity, fuel efficiency, reliability, and service life. Following are the results you can expect:

• High performance across a variety of applications.
• Enhanced reliability through commonality and simplicity of design.
• Maximized uptime and reduced cost with world-class Cat dealer support.
• Minimized impact of emission systems - with no operator interaction required.
• Durability with long service life.
• Improved fuel efficiency with minimized maintenance costs.
• Same great power and response.

An Emissions Solution That Works The Cat C18 ACERT engine meets today’s U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final emission standards, and it does so without interrupting your job process. Simply turn the engine on and go to work. It will look for opportunities in your work cycle to regenerate itself, and it will give you plenty of power for the task at hand - all to help keep your owning and operating costs to an absolute minimum.

Fuel Savers That Add Up The 390F consumes significantly less fuel than the previous series model, and two built-in features help contribute to that: automatic engine speed control and automatic engine idle shutdown. Automatic engine speed control lowers rpm when the machine doesn’t need it for work. Automatic engine idle shutdown turns the engine off when it’s been idling for more than a specified amount of time, which will lower fuel consumption, hour accumulation, and lead to extended service intervals and higher resale value. A choice of two power modes - high power and economy mode - lets you manage fuel consumption for the work at hand. Collectively, all of these benefits add up to reduced fuel consumption, reduced exhaust and sound emissions, reduced repair and maintenance costs, and increased engine life for you.

A Cool Design For Any Temperature The 390F features a new side-by-side cooling system that allows you to put the machine to work in extremely hot and cold conditions. The system is completely separated from the engine compartment to reduce noise and heat. Plus it features easy-to-clean cores and a new variable-speed fan that reverses to blow out unwanted debris that may accumulate during your work day.

Biodiesel Not A Problem The Cat C18 ACERT engine can run on B20 biodiesel fuel that meets ASTM 6751 standards - all to give you more potential fuel-saving flexibility.

On-board electric lubricator and auto lube systems are available time-saving attachments. The on-board lubricator has a grease container, greasing pump, and a hose with nozzle to help you reach all the greasing points. The auto lube system will do the work for you. An electric refueling pump attachment is also available, and it allows you to refuel from other sources like a barrel or fuel reservoir when a fuel truck or regular fuel pump isn’t on site. The pump automatically shuts off when the fuel tank is full.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

The fuel tank’s drain cock makes it easy and simple for you to remove water and sediment during routine maintenance. Plus an integrated fuel level indicator pops up to help you reduce the possibility of fuel tank overfilling.

A Safe, Quiet Cab The all-new cab provides you with a safe working environment. It also contributes to your comfort because it’s attached to a reinforced frame with special viscous mounts that limit vibration and unnecessary sound. Add in special roof lining and sealing and you have a cab that’s as quiet inside as any of today’s top pickup trucks.

Secure Contact Points Multiple large steps will get you into the cab as well as a leg up to the catwalks and compartments. Extended hand and guard rails allow you to safely climb to the upper deck. Anti-skid plates on the catwalks, the surface of the upper structure, and the top of the storage box area reduce your slipping hazards in all types of weather conditions. And they can be removed for cleaning.

Great Views Ample glass gives you excellent visibility out front and to the side, and the standard rearview camera gives you a clear field of view behind the machine through the cab monitor. The available split-configuration windshield features an upper window with handles that make it easy to slide and store above you and a lower window that can be removed and stored on the inside wall of the cab. An available one-piece windshield comes with a safety hammer to break it in case of an emergency. The large skylight also serves as an emergency exit and provides you with enhanced overhead visibility.

Smart Lighting Halogen lights provide plenty of illumination. Cab and boom lights can be programmed to stay on for up to 90 seconds after the engine has been turned off to help you safely exit the machine. Optional High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights are available for enhanced night-time visibility.
