The 313F GC's hydraulic system is extremely reliable and features a load-sensing pump and control valve that calculate required hydraulic flow so you can meet your daily job requirements quickly and efficiently.
Like all Cat excavators, hydraulic components on the 313F L GC are located close together in order to minimize the length of hydraulic lines. This logical layout leads to less pressure drops and more machine power for the work you need to do.
The new and simple hydraulic system helps make the machine easier to maintain. The addition of a pilot manifold in the valve block means there is no need for a pilot pump, filter, or lines. Fewer components equal less maintenance and lower owning and operating costs for you.
When it comes to doing a variety of work, the machine's optional high-pressure, medium-pressure, and quick coupler circuits give you plenty of capability so you can maximize machine performance with Cat Work Tools out front. They will help you dig, load, and break with confidence.
The Cat C3.4B engine meets current EU Stage IIIB emission standards and provides plenty of power for the work you do without consuming a lot of fuel to do it. The engine is equipped with unique yet simple features like a turbo protector and maintenance-free emissions package that enhance service life – all to help keep your owning and operating costs to an absolute minimum.
There are built-in features to help you manage how much fuel you use. One-touch low idle lets you reduce engine speed when the machine isn't working. Engine idle shutdown turns the engine off when it's been idling for more than the time that you set. Both contribute to saving fuel, reducing emissions, and extending your service intervals.
The cab contributes to your comfort thanks to special viscous mounts and special roof lining and sealing that limit vibration and unnecessary sound. Operators will enjoy the quietness and comfort of the all new cab.
The mechanical or air suspension seats includes a reclining back, upper and lower slide adjustments, and height and tilt angle adjustments to meet your needs for maximum comfort. The automatic climate control system keeps operators comfortable and productive all day long in either hot or cold weather. Storage spaces are located in the front, rear, and side consoles of the cab. A drink holder accommodates a large mug, and a shelf behind the seat stores large lunch or toolboxes. A power supply socket is available for charging your electronic devices like an MP3 player, a cell phone, or even a tablet.
The right and left joystick consoles can be adjusted to improve your comfort and productivity during the course of a day. The right joystick features a button that will reduce engine speed when you are not working to help save fuel. Touch it once and speed reduces; touch it again and speed increases for normal operation.
The new LCD monitor is easy to see and navigate. Not only can it memorize up to 10 different work tools, it's also programmable in up to 42 languages to meet today's diverse workforce. The monitor clearly displays critical information you need to operate efficiently and effectively. Plus it projects the image from the standard rearview camera to help you see what's going on around you so you can stay safely focused on the job at hand.
The 313F L GC is a well-built machine that's designed to give you a long service life and excellent resale value. The upper frame includes special mountings made specially to support the heavy-duty ROPS cab; the lower frame is reinforced to enhance component durability so you can count on the machine doing the tough work you need to get done.
The machine's long undercarriage works extremely well in various work applications and conditions. Plus its track shoes, links, rollers, idlers, and final drives are all built with high-tensile-strength steel for long-term durability.
The rigid 2.45 mt counterweight matches the machine's overall sleek appearance, and it provides plenty of balance for all of your work needs.
Cat booms and sticks are built with internal baffle plates for added durability, and all undergo ultrasound inspection to ensure weld quality and reliability. Large box-section structures with thick multi-plate fabrications, castings, and forgings are used in high-stress areas such as the boom nose, boom foot, boom cylinder, and stick foot to improve durability. Also, the front linkage pins' inner bearing surfaces are welded with a self-lubricated bearing to extend service intervals and increase uptime.
The 313F L GC is offered with a 4.65 m boom and 3.0 m or 2.5 m stick. These combinations give you plenty of reach for general excavating applications.
The 313F L GC is a versatile machine that packs a lot of performance into a small package. You can easily expand that performance by utilizing a variety of attachments offered by Cat Work Tools.
Cat quick coupler brings the ability to quickly change attachments and switch from job to job.
A range of buckets dig everything from top soil to abrasive material. For finishing and grading work, compact and shallow ditch cleaning buckets fit the need. A hydraulic hammer equips the machine for breaking sidewalks, driveways, and pavement.
Your Cat dealer can install hydraulic kits to properly operate all Cat Work Tool attachments, maximizing the machine's uptime and your profit.
Not only is the 313F L GC ideal for many everyday utility jobs, but it's also easy to get there because of its small size. Simply load it on a trailer and go to work.

The ROPS-certified cab provides you with a safe working environment. It also contributes to your comfort because it's attached to a reinforced frame with special viscous mounts that limit vibration and unnecessary sound. Add in special roof lining and sealing and you have a cab that's as quiet as any of today's highway trucks.
Ample glass coupled with the standard parallel wiper system help give you great views out front and to the side, and a low-profile engine gives you excellent visibility out back. The split-configuration windshield features an upper window equipped with handles so you can slide it to store in the ceiling, and a large skylight provides great overhead visibility. The standard rearview camera gives you a clear field of view behind the machine through the cab monitor.
The 313F L GC has three working lights capability that provide all the illumination you will need. Plus the cab and boom lights have a time-delay function that can be set to stay on up to five minutes after the engine has been turned off to help you safely exit the machine.
The surface of the upper structure and the top of the storage box area are covered with anti-skid plates to help prevent you from slipping during maintenance. Steps on the track frame and storage box along with extended hand and guard rails to the upper deck enable you to securely work on the machine.
The 313F L GC is a simple, compact, easy-to-maintain machine. You can reach most routine maintenance items like fluid taps and grease points from the safety and convenience of ground level. Wide service doors provide excellent access to the radiator, pump, air cleaner, and engine compartments; doors latch in place to make your service work simpler.
What's behind the doors, and what isn't, contributes to the ease of service. For example, the diesel particulate filter used to capture emissions is compact and maintenance free. Also, the use of an easy-to-reach manual priming pump reduces the number of filters the machine needs. All of this leads to less complexity and lower owning and operating costs for you.
The fuel tank features a remote drain cock located in the pump compartment to make it easy for you to remove water and sediment during routine maintenance. It also has an engine oil drain cock to make oil changes easy without any tools.
Cat dealers utilize a worldwide parts network to maximize your machines' uptime. Plus they can help you save money with Cat remanufactured components.
Consider financing options and day-to-day operating costs. Look at dealer services that can be included in the machine's cost to yield lower owning and operating costs over time.
