Comfortable Working Environment
The high quality suspension seat, 76 mm (3 in) retractable seat belt, easy to adjust armrests, and ergonomic layout provide superior comfort and reduce operator fatigue. The new interlocking front window system, updated operator interface and 100% pilot controls provide a best-in-class operator station and customer value.
Engine
Each of the E2 models is equipped with the engine solution to best support the power and performance required based on the weight class and application. Also, standard features like auto idle offer consistent lower engine speeds to increase engine life and offer fuel savings.
COMPASS
The COMPASS control panel was specifically designed by Caterpillar for compact excavators. It adds several new features to the machines including: passcode protected security system, adjustable auxiliary work tool flow control, economy mode, continuous flow, pattern changer and maintenance and performance information.
Compact Radius
The compact radius design gives greater machine versatility and the capability to work within confined areas. This allows the operator to concentrate on the work being done without having to worry about damaging the back of the machine or other job site obstacles.
Standard Auxiliary Lines and Accumulator
One-way and two-way auxiliary lines (combined function), including quick connections, are fitted as standard equipment so the machine comes ready to work. A standard accumulator allows for auxiliary pressure to be released, making connecting and disconnecting work tools safer and easier.
