CATERPILLAR EL300B CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

The Caterpillar EL300B is a robust hydraulic excavator designed for mid-size heavy-duty excavation tasks, featuring a durable Cat 3306 diesel engine with 640.8 cubic inches (10.5 L) displacement and delivering a net power output of 206.6 hp (154 kW). The engine is an inline 6-cylinder, 4-stroke-cycle turbocharged and aftercooled diesel built for consistent performance and fuel efficiency. It includes a hydraulic system with a pump flow capacity of 111 gallons per minute and a relief valve pressure set at 4550 psi, enabling excellent hydraulic power for demanding operations. Dimensionally, the EL300B has a ground clearance of 1.6 ft, overall width of 11.2 ft to the outside of tracks, and a height of 10.3 ft to the top of the cab. It weighs approximately 68,784 lbs, with a tail swing radius of 10.5 ft, enhancing maneuverability on job sites. Its undercarriage features 31.5-inch-wide shoes and an 8.6 ft track gauge, allowing it to maintain ground pressure at a low 6.6 psi, protecting terrains from excessive compaction. The excavator has two boom and stick options: Option 1 permits a max cutting height of 32.9 ft, max digging depth of 23.6 ft, max loading height of 22.8 ft, and max reach along the ground at 35.8 ft; Option 2 extends these capabilities with a max cutting height of 34.2 ft, digging depth of 27.4 ft, loading height of 23.9 ft, and reach of 38.8 ft, plus improved vertical wall digging depths (up to 22 ft). Travel speeds max out at 2.8 mph, supported by a drawbar pull of 52,830 lbs, making the EL300B a reliable machine for excavation, loading, and precise digging tasks in construction and earthmoving applications.
