SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE

—

Caterpillar launched a new 13-ton class Next Generation excavator models – the Cat^® 313– with new features that elevate machine performance, increase efficiencies and lower owning and operating costs.
The new 313 excavator boasts increased power and a range of standard Cat technologies designed to boost operator efficiencies by up to 45 percent.

The new fuel-efficient Cat C3.6 engine powering these Next Gen excavators meets stringent U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage V emission standards, while offering up to 10 percent greater fuel economy than the previous Cat 313F and 313F GC models. New Smart Mode operation automatically matches engine and hydraulic power to working conditions for maximum productivity and ECO mode to save fuel in less-demanding applications. The engine’s cooling package delivers high ambient temperature capability of 125° F (52° C).

Balancing the need for power and efficiency to deliver precise digging, the responsive hydraulic system includes a new main control valve that eliminates the need for pilot lines, reduces pressure losses, and lowers fuel consumption. A 10 percent boost in swing torque elevates efficiency when working on slopes and moving around the jobsite. New Cat Advansys™ bucket tips on the 313 excavator deliver increased life, excellent retention, and fast changeover for maximum uptime on the jobsite.
