Caterpillar has offered the Cat 301 CR (Compact Radius), a micro hydraulic excavator geared toward contractors running in confined areas, together with indoor, demolition, agricultural and landscaping programs.
The only-tonne-class device can go via doors measuring 762 via 1981mm, whilst its compact radius design minimises overhang to paintings in tight areas and along mounted constructions. An expandable undercarriage improves balance and will increase carry capability when compared with the device it replaces, the Cat 300.9D.
“Shoppers requested for a device within the one-ton category this is easy and comfy to function, whilst providing balance for lifting heavy weights. Our new 301 CR excavator delivers,” says Zach Waite, industrial director at Caterpillar Business Answers.
“To support balance, the 301 CR is 26% wider than the 300.9D, with an absolutely expanded undercarriage. We additionally larger carry capability via greater than 80% from the 300.9D to carry device efficiency and versatility within the box,” he provides.
The excavator has a simplified gauge cluster and side-mounted joystick controls. Its expandable blade and undercarriage may also be retracted for get right of entry to to confined spaces, and the compact radius reduces the device’s footprint when running subsequent to mounted constructions. A closed-loop swing machine supplies quicker cycle occasions and advanced power potency, and generates much less warmth than the 300.9D. A 2nd auxiliary hydraulics possibility permits mechanical paintings gear to be operated, a regular LED increase paintings gentle helps use at evening or within constructions, and a tilt-up seat supplies get right of entry to to the engine bay and repair issues.
A foldable ROPS (Roll Over Coverage Construction) permits the device to trip via height-restricted openings when folded, and gives operator coverage when raised and secured for operation.
With a most working weight of 1230kg and a folded ROPS peak of not up to 1829mm, the 301 CR is easy to move. Go back and forth velocity reaches as much as 3.6km/h, double that of the 300.9D, and observe width extends from 730 to 1100mm for extra balance. Stick drive is 38% upper than the 300.9D at 6.2kN, whilst bucket drive of 9.6kN is 8% upper, assisting productiveness in difficult digging prerequisites. Most carry capability is 394kg at a peak of 0.91m and a radius of one.83m to the entrance. VisionLink provides house owners and operators perception into the device’s working hours and site.
