Technical Description
The Caterpillar 313F L Hydraulic Excavator is a mid-sized machine designed for efficiency and power in heavy excavation tasks. It is equipped with a Cat C4.4 ACERT diesel engine featuring a 4.2-inch bore and 5-inch stroke, delivering 92 hp (69 kW) of flywheel power. The engine supports Tier 4 Final emissions standards and can operate on biodiesel up to B20. Its displacement is 269 cubic inches, optimized for fuel efficiency and environmental compliance. The undercarriage tracks are 500 mm wide, with a maximum travel speed of 3.7 mph (5 kph) and a maximum drawbar pull of 25,628 lbs (113 kN), reflecting robust drive performance suitable for a variety of terrains.
Hydraulically, the 313F L features a main system maximum flow of 67 gallons per minute (256 liters/min) with operating pressures of 4,424 psi for equipment functions, 5,076 psi for travel, and 3,336 psi for swing. The swing system operates at 10.9 rpm, applying torque of 22,791 lbs-ft (30.9 kN·m). The pilot hydraulic system’s max pressure is 598 psi, supporting precise control. The excavator’s operating weight is approximately 33,080 lbs (15,000 kg), providing stability and lifting capacity for construction and earthmoving tasks.
Service refill capacities include a fuel tank of 58.9 gallons, cooling system with 5.9 gallons, and small capacities for final drives and swing drive, facilitating maintenance. Overall dimensions support transportation, with a transport length of about 7.69 meters and width 2.49 meters. The machine incorporates advanced controls with automatic pump and engine speed management, two power modes (high power and eco) for fuel optimization, and engine idle shutdown, enhancing productivity and reducing fuel consumption.
