The Caterpillar E70B is a compact midi excavator engineered for versatile earthmoving operations across construction, landscaping, and demolition applications. Powered by a Mitsubishi 4D32 water-cooled diesel engine, this machine delivers 54 horsepower at 1800 rpm with a displacement of 217.9 cubic inches, providing reliable performance in demanding jobsite conditions. The excavator features three interchangeable boom and stick configurations, allowing operators to optimize reach and digging capabilities based on project requirements. Option 1 achieves a maximum cutting height of 21.4 feet and digging depth of 12.5 feet, while Option 3 extends performance to 23.1 feet in cutting height and 15.1 feet in digging depth with a maximum reach of 22.1 feet along the ground. The variable bucket capacity ranges from 0.2 to 0.5 cubic yards, accommodating diverse material handling needs. With an operating weight of 15,256 pounds and a compact track width of 7.5 feet, the E70B excels in confined spaces while maintaining stability on soft terrain thanks to its 4.7 psi ground pressure. The hydraulic system utilizes 27.8 gallons of fluid with a relief pressure of 4551 psi and delivers 35.4 gallons per minute flow capacity. The swing mechanism rotates at 13.5 rpm with a 5.8-foot tail swing radius, enhancing maneuverability on restricted sites. A 13-speed travel capability reaches 2.6 mph maximum, while the drawbar pull of 10,141 pounds provides traction for transport and working applications. The machine's fuel capacity of 29.1 gallons supports extended operating hours between refueling intervals.
