Features

High‑Production Power and Fast Cycle Times

With 249 net horsepower and a robust mid‑size platform, the 345 P‑Tier is built for heavy‑duty applications such as mass excavation, truck loading, and large‑scale site development. Its three‑pump hydraulic system optimizes flow across boom, arm, and swing functions—delivering faster cycle times, improved multitasking capability, and increased productivity on demanding jobsites.

Simplified Maintenance With No DPF and Proven Efficiency

The 345 P‑Tier meets Final Tier 4 / Stage IV emissions standards without a diesel particulate filter (DPF), eliminating regenerations and ash‑service intervals. This simplifies ownership while maintaining fuel‑efficient performance through a proven SCR‑based system—helping reduce downtime and keep machines working longer between service intervals.

Precision Control, Visibility, and Jobsite Awareness

Pilot‑controlled hydraulics and a push‑button power boost provide smooth, precise control with added digging force when needed. Standard right, rear, and left cameras with LED surround lighting deliver enhanced 270‑degree visibility, helping operators work confidently in busy, high‑traffic environments and maintain awareness in low‑light conditions.
