Caterpillar Machines Mini Excavators 301.7D CR

The Cat 301.7D CR gives you a blend of power, control and stability to make your working day easier and more productive. Compact Radius The zero tail swing Cat 301.7D CR can work comfortably in confined work areas with the machine upper frame able to slew within its track width. This compact radius design also allows you to concentrate on the work being performed without having to worry about damage to the back of the machine or site. Hammer Lines as Standard Hammer and two-way auxiliary hydraulic lines with quick disconnects allow the operation of a hydraulic hammer and of a bi-directional tool such as an auger. The optional second hydraulic function is operated by a proportional roller on the left-hand joystick. This option includes a switch that allows the operator to vary the auxiliary hydraulic flow to suit each individual work tool. The ‘ready to work’ quick disconnect connections are equipped with an accumulator as standard to help make releasing and changing of tools a quick and easy task. Located close to the work tool, they reduce hose lengths and minimize potential damage. Work Tools A range of work tools is available including buckets, hammer and auger to take advantage of the machine’s versatility. All these tools are matched to optimize machine performance and deliver excellent value through productivity and long life. Operator Station Ergonomically laid out operator station with pilot operated joystick and foot pedal allows all functions to be pilot controlled to deliver excellent control and eliminate the need for maintenance of cables and linkages. Powerful Engine and Load Sensing Hydraulics The 17.7 kW (24 hp) engine is matched with a load sensing hydraulic system and variable displacement pump to provide excellent digging performance and smooth control. No stall under load and power when needed make the 301.7D CR very productive for such a compact package. Excellent Service Access Daily checks and regular service points including fuel and hydraulic oil fill are easily reached via the large steel rear door and removable side panels. The main hydraulic valve and lines are also easily reached through a removable floor plate and side panels. The machine has durable steel body panels all around, offering good resistance to impact damage and helping to maintain the machine’s appearance and value.
