Technical Description

The Caterpillar 205 LC is a compact hydraulic excavator engineered for versatile construction and demolition applications. Powered by a Perkins 4.236 diesel engine generating 71 horsepower at 2,150 rpm with 235.6 cubic inches of displacement, this machine delivers reliable performance across diverse job sites. The excavator features three interchangeable boom and stick configurations, enabling operators to customize working reach and depth capabilities. The standard configuration achieves a maximum cutting height of 21.8 feet and digging depth of 14.8 feet, while the extended option extends maximum reach to 26.8 feet along ground level with a 18.1-foot digging depth. Bucket capacity ranges from 0.4 to 1.3 cubic yards, accommodating various material handling requirements. With an operating weight of 28,340.5 pounds and ground pressure of just 5.7 psi, the machine minimizes surface disturbance while maintaining stability. The hydraulic system operates at 4,351.2 psi relief pressure with 49.2 gallons-per-minute pump flow capacity and 63.5-gallon fluid capacity, ensuring consistent operational performance. Transportation dimensions measure 23.9 feet in length, 7.9 feet in width, and 9.9 feet in height. The undercarriage generates impressive drawbar pull of 27,201.9 pounds with a maximum travel speed of 2.5 mph, supported by 47 shoes per side measuring 19.7 inches. Operating specifications include 48.9-gallon fuel capacity and 24-volt electrical system, making the 205 LC an efficient, maneuverable solution for confined-space operations and precision excavation work.
