Engine

Powerful Performance

The Cat® C4.4 engine with ACERT™ Technology includes a series of evolutionary, incremental improvements that provide breakthrough engine performance. The building blocks of ACERT Technology are fuel delivery, air management and electronic control. ACERT Technology optimizes engine performance while meeting EU Stage IIIA engine emission standards. The Cat C4.4 engine in the M313D delivers a maximum gross power of 102 kW at a rated speed of 2,000 rpm.

Low Fuel Consumption

The C4.4 is electronically controlled and uses the Cat Common Rail Fuel System and fuel pump. This combination provides outstanding fuel consumption during both production and travel. When the system recognizes roading application the engine will operate at the most efficient system operating point to save fuel without compromising road performance.

Low Noise, Low Vibration

The Cat C4.4 design improves operator comfort by reducing sound and vibration.

Cooling System

An electronically controlled, hydraulic motor drives a variable speed on-demand fan for engine coolant and hydraulic oil. The optimum fan speed is determined based on coolant and hydraulic oil temperature resulting in reduced fuel consumption and lower sound levels. The electronic engine control continuously compensates for the varying fan load, providing consistent net power, regardless of operating conditions.

One-Touch Low Idle Control

The two stage, one-touch Automatic Engine Speed Control reduces engine speed if no operation is performed, maximizing fuel efficiency and reducing sound levels.

Hydraulics

Dedicated Swing Pump

A dedicated variable displacement piston pump and fixed displacement piston motor power the swing drive. This closed hydraulic circuit maximizes swing performance without reducing power to the other hydraulic functions, resulting in smoother combined movements.

Heavy Lift Mode

This mode maximizes lifting performance by boosting the lifting capability of the excavator by 7%.

Adjustable Hydraulic Sensitivity

This function allows the operator to adjust the aggressiveness of the machine according to the application.

Proportional Auxiliary Hydraulics

    Versatility of the hydraulic system can be expanded to utilize a wide variety of hydraulic work tools using multiple valve options.
    • The Multi-Combined Valve is the core of the Tool Control System, allowing the operator to select up to ten preprogrammed work tools from the monitor. These preset hydraulic parameters support either one-way or two-way flow. The joystick sliding switches allow modulated control of the work tool.
    • The Medium Pressure Function Valve provides proportional flow that is ideal for tilting buckets or rotating tools.
    • The D Series feature an optional second High Pressure valve. In combination with the Multi-Combined Valve, it provides the possibility to operate the machine with work tools or in applications requiring a third auxiliary hydraulic function, such as a tilting/rotating work tool.

Stick Regeneration Circuit

The stick regeneration circuit increases efficiency and helps increase controllability for higher productivity and lower operating costs.
