Key Features of the CAT 313 GC
The 313 GC model includes several features focused on operator comfort and cost-effectiveness:
Enhanced Efficiency: It features an electro-hydraulic system that works with the C3.6 engine to move more material without high fuel consumption. It offers different power modes (Smart, Eco, Power) to match the job demands.
Lower Maintenance Costs: This model is designed to reduce upkeep with extended service intervals for filters and elimination of certain filters like the pilot and case drain filters. Many daily maintenance points are accessible from ground level.
Operator Comfort: The cab includes a wider, adjustable seat, standard automatic climate control, and conveniences like a radio and USB ports. The interface is built around a high-resolution 8-inch touchscreen monitor.
Productivity and Safety: The machine provides strong digging forces and swing torque for its class. Standard safety features include a rearview camera option, bright LED lights, and a swing alarm.
The CAT 313 GC is a modern excavator emphasizing fuel efficiency, reduced maintenance, and operator comfort, complying with contemporary emission standards without requiring Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). The older 313D2 GC is a robust machine that might be considered in the used equipment market.
