Combine these features with a new cab, longer maintenance intervals, and a power system that reduces fuel and you have a low-cost-per-unit-of-production excavator that’s perfect for medium to heavy-duty applications.

Features may include:

• Up to 10% lower fuel consumption. An additional 5% reduction without productivity loss when using SMART mode.

• 12% improved swing torque makes working on slopes easier.

• Increase operating efficiency up to 45 percent with standard Cat Technologies that lower operator fatigue and your operating costs, including fuel consumption and daily maintenance.

• C7.1 engine that meets emission standards. An aftertreatment system that requires no maintenance or downtime.

• The advanced hydraulic system provides the optimum balance of power and efficiency while giving you the control you need for precise digging requirements.

• Match the excavator to the job with power modes; let Smart mode automatically match engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions.

• Advansys™ bucket tips increase penetration and improve cycle times. Tip changes can be done quickly with a simple lug wrench instead of a hammer or special tool, improving safety and uptime.

• Auxiliary hydraulic options give you the versatility to use a wide range of Cat attachments.

• Available SmartBoom™ lets the boom freely travel up and down without using any pump flow so operators can focus on stick and bucket work. The benefits are reduced operator stress and reduced fuel consumption(not available in all regions - consult your local dealer on availability).

• Automatically stop excavator swing at operator-defined set points in truck loading and trenching applications with Swing Assist, which will help you use less effort and consume less fuel.

• Standard Cat PAYLOAD on-board weighing system: Achieve precise load targets and increase loading efficiency with on-the-go weighing and real-time estimates of your payload without swinging.

• Combine Payload with VisionLink® and remotely manage your production targets, now with the possibility to download on a USB stick.

• Choose between Comfort, Deluxe and Premium cabs – all with automatic climate control (consult your local dealer on availability in your region).

• The Comfort cab is equipped with a mechanical suspension seat. The Deluxe seat is heated and air adjustable. The Premium seat is heated and cooled and adjusts automatically.
