Cat 305 CR mini excavator has an operating weight of 12,688 pounds and digs to 11 feet 3 inches.
The Caterpillar excavator has 9 percent more power than its predecessor due to a Cat 45-horsepower C1.7 turbo engine. Hydraulic system improvements provide higher breakout forces—11,061 lb.-ft. for the bucket and 6,362 lb.-ft. with standard stick. It has compact-radius swing with 78-inch track width.
Product specialist Greg Worley explains how counterweight and track options allow fleets to adjust to particular operations, such as the use of heavier attachments.
