CATERPILLAR 314D LCR CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

The Caterpillar 314D LCR is a compact-radius hydraulic excavator engineered for precision digging in space-restricted environments. Powered by a Cat C4.2 ACERT engine, this midi-class machine delivers 97 horsepower (72 kW) gross power with 90 net horsepower (67 kW), featuring a 259.4 cubic inch displacement and offering exceptional efficiency for its weight class. Operating at 31,085 pounds, the 314D LCR utilizes an advanced hydraulic system with a maximum relief valve pressure of 5,076 psi and pump flow capacity of 5.6 gallons per minute, enabling powerful breakout and lift forces. The excavator offers three interchangeable stick options—2.5, 2.8, and 3.0 meters—providing maximum digging depths ranging from 17.9 to 19.5 feet and maximum reach along ground level extending to 28.4 feet, making it highly versatile for varied applications. The machine's compact design features a minimal 4.9-foot tail swing radius with the standard counterweight, allowing safe operation adjacent to buildings, walls, and other obstructions without exceeding track width. Its low ground pressure of 6.8 psi and robust undercarriage with 19.7-inch shoes ensure excellent maneuverability on sensitive terrain. The spacious operator cab includes a color LCD monitor displaying vital information in 29 languages and features viscous rubber mounts for vibration dampening. Bucket capacity options range from 0.4 to 1.0 cubic yard, accommodating diverse excavation needs. With dimensions of 8.2 feet width and 10 feet track length, combined with exceptional reach capabilities and hydraulic performance, the 314D LCR represents industry-leading productivity for confined jobsites.
