Caterpillar announced new Cat D Series mini excavators
Caterpillar has announced the new D Series mini hydraulic excavators — models 301.7D, 302.2D and 302.4D. With model configurations that closely reflect their operating weights (1.6 to 2.5 tonnes), the new machines feature powerful hydraulics, a spacious operator environment and excellent service access.
Compact in size, the 301.7D, 302.2D and 302.4D can be easily transported on a trailer, or in a pickup truck.
The 301.7D can be specified with either a fixed or extending undercarriage. The 302.2D is fitted with an extending undercarriage as standard and delivers a greater dig depth and lifting performance. A longer dozer blade is optional on both the 301.7D and 302.2D.
In North America, the 302.4D is configured with brackets and relief valves for simple and cost effective mounting of a hydraulic thumb.
Enhancing overall capability, the dozer blade simplifies backfilling and clean-up chores. A float function allows the blade to follow ground contours with no operator correction and make site clean-up quick and easy.
Sturdy hoisting brackets on the cab roof enable the easy and rapid relocation of the machine.
