Cat Mini Excavators offer operator comfort, convenience and safety. All models feature heavy duty main structures, fuel efficient engines, load sensing hydraulics and spacious cabs. Additionally, the Next Gen mini excavator models feature the exclusive Stick Steer system, and optimum value for customers in terms of performance, operator experience, serviceability and affordability.
Excavators are versatile machines that come in many sizes and configurations. They are used for digging footings, land clearing, underground utilities, construction, agriculture and much more. With so many options, it can be difficult to know where to begin.
Once you know these answers, you can begin specifying the machine. It must be large enough to get the job done, but bigger isn’t necessarily better. How tight is the jobsite? Are there buildings close to one another?
This is when many of our customers decide to consult with a machine sales representative. They are versed in machine application and familiar with the territory. They can show options for new, used, and rental. They can even recommend subcontractors if needed.
The 300.9D is the smallest Cat Mini Excavator. It’s compact, easy to use, and versatile. With an overall width of only 2 ft 5 in, a retractable undercarriage, and foldable FOPS, this machine can easily fit through narrow passages and doors, even elevators. The small size of this machine and the range of Cat attachments offered combine with an available auxiliary power package to perform indoor demolition in tight spaces!
Next-Generation 1-2 Ton Cat Mini Excavators provide ultimate jobsite versatility as they adapt to various applications and industries with ease. The new liftable cab provides best-in-class serviceability while stick steer and cruise control deliver a truly unmatched operator experience.
The new High Definition Hydraulic (HDH) System, redesigned operator station and enhanced digital control panel specially designed for Cat Mini Excavators – COMPASS (Complete, Operation, Maintenance, Performance, and Security System) – are all standard features that improve performance and increase value.
To develop the Next Generation of Cat Mini Excavators, we focused on the one most important component - you.
It includes multiple industry-first features:
Job site environments vary greatly – manicured turf, rocky hills, paved surfaces. When possible, you should match the undercarriage to the task and conditions.
In addition to size, there are many options tailor designed for specific applications.
