Benefits & Features

Reliable and Versatile

A Simple, Reliable System

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.

A Logical Layout

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.

Less Components, Less Maintenance

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.

Maximum Versatility

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.

Fuel Efficient

Proven Technology

    Every Stage IIIB engine is equipped with a combination of proven electronic, fuel, air, and aftertreatment components. Applying these technologies lets us meet your high expectations for productivity, fuel efficiency, reliability, and service life. The right technologies fine tuned for the right applications result in:
    • High performance across a variety of applications
    • Maximized uptime and reduced cost with world-class support from the Cat dealer network
    • Minimized impact of emission systems – designed to be transparent to the operator without requiring interaction
    • Durable designs with long life to overhaul
    • Less fuel consumption with minimized maintenance costs while providing the same great power and response

A Powerful, Economical Solution

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.

Fuel Savers That Add Up

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.

Easy to Operate

Safe and Quiet Cab

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.

Excellent Ergonomics

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.

Controls Just for You

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.

Easy to Navigate Monitor

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.

Durable Structures

Robust Frames

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.

Durable Undercarriage

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.

Great Weight

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.

Durable Linkages

Built to Last

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.

Boom and Stick for Any Job

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 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.

Secure Contacts

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.

Serviceable

Easy to Maintain

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.

Room to Move

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.

Quick and Convenient Fluids Service

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.
