The machine offers four boom and stick configurations, enabling versatile operational heights and digging depths. The maximum cutting height ranges from 31.5 ft to 34.5 ft, while maximum digging depth extends from 19.6 ft to 26.3 ft, depending on the boom/stick option selected. The excavator's maximum vertical wall digging depth varies from 16.8 ft to 23.6 ft across configurations. The bucket capacity spans from 0.8 to 2 cubic yards, with a reference bucket size of 1.4 cu yd. Dimensionally, the excavator features a ground clearance of 1.6 ft, a top-of-cab height of 9.7 ft, track length on the ground of 11.4 ft, and a track gauge width of approximately 7.9 ft. The tail swing radius is a compact 9.7 ft, and the width to the outside of tracks measures about 9.9 ft. The hydraulic system pumps up to 130.6 gallons per minute at a system relief valve pressure of 4,771.8 psi, supported by a hydraulic fluid capacity of 76.7 gallons. The cooling system holds 6.1 gallons of fluid, and the fuel tank capacity is 100.4 gallons. The alternator supplies 35 amps at 24 operating volts. Travel speed peaks at 3.5 mph with a ground pressure of roughly 7.3 psi, assisted by an undercarriage with 47 shoes per side, each sized 23.7 inches. The swing mechanism operates at 11 rpm with 3 gallons of swing drive fluid volume. This combination of power, hydraulic capacity, and dimensional versatility makes the Kato HD1023III suited for a wide range of excavation and loading tasks in construction and earthmoving applications.
