Benefits & Features
Performance and Versatility
Work Tools
A wide range of work tools gives the 302.5 versatility in applications such as building construction, landscaping and demolition.
Travel Alarm
This is an optional audible alert to further increase site safety.
Overall Machine
Corner Panels
The corner panels on the rear of the machine are made of durable, impact-resistant plastic, helping to maintain the appearance of the machine.
System Solution
The 302.5 Mini Hydraulic Excavator can be used as a part of a "system solution" to meet customers' needs. It is capable of partnering with other machines to maximize productivity and efficiency.
Boom Swing Post
The boom swing post is offset right of center of the operator's seat to enhance visibility of the work tool.
Design
High quality paint finish, strong robust appearance, non-metallic impact resistant corner protectors, narrow and overall dimensions and good stability for excavating and lifting help maintain the machine's high value.
Ease of Operation
Straight Line Travel
Straight-line travel is provided to help maintain a straight course while tracking and operating the front linkage simultaneously.
Visibility
Superior visibility for an excellent view of the work area and work tool is possible with large windows and offset swing post.
Operator Station
The operator station is easy to enter and exit and the flat floor is easy to clean.
Undercarriage
Rubber-belted Track
Rubber-belted tracks are used when the machine is operated on blacktop and other finished surfaces to reduce damage. The majority of mini 302.5 Hydraulic Excavators will be equipped with this option as they are frequently used in urban construction.
Steel Double Grouser Shoes
Steel double grouser shoes are recommended for use in demolition and other applications that can severly damage rubber track.
Excellent Serviceability
Easy Access
Easy access to major components and service points is provided by the large opening tilt-up engine enclosure.
Sight Gauges
Sight gauges for hydraulic oil and fuel make fluid level checks convenient. Lockable fill caps use the same key as all other locks.
Low Maintenance Bushings
Low maintenance bushings in front linkage pin joints and blade mechanism estend greasing intervals. All grease fittings are easy to access.
S-O-S Oil Sampling Valve
S-O-S oil sampling valve allows easy sampling of the hydraulic fluid for preventive maintenance.
Replacement Parts
Cost effective replacement parts are available through a service exchange program. Many parts are interchangeable with other Cat machines.
Customer Support
Unmatched Dealer Support
Unmatched dealer support with excellent equipment management services and fast parts availability provide maximum uptime and minimum repair costs.
Equipment Maintenance Services
Equipment maintenance services to help optimize machine performance and reliability include: Customer Support Agreements, S-O-S oil analysis, maintenance contracts and scheduled technical inspections.
Equipment Management Services
Equipment management services to help optimize profits include: machine and work tool selection, rental and leasing, purchasing and financing, owning and operating cost management and extended warranties.
Engine
Air Filter
Both primary and secondary air filters are used. The high capacity filters are sized to handle extremely dirty operating conditions.
Radiator
The 302.5 is equipped with a steel core, double-layer, fin-type radiator, supplying the machine with a large heat exchange capacity.
Electrical System
The electrical harnesses use Deutsch sealed connectors and are designed to meet Caterpillar's high standards of reliability.
Hydraulic System
Control Valve
The control valve assembly is located under the floor plates on the left side of the operator station.
Pumps
The system has two variable displacement and track drive pumps running boom, stick, bucket and track drive circuits, and one fixed displacement pump for main and boom swing.
Hose Fittings
Hose fittings use the Caterpillar O-ring face seals to ensure leak-free operation. Hydraulic lines exposed to the operator are wrapped in protective sleeves to reduce the potential for accidental exposure to oil in case of a hose failure.
Oil Filter
All oil returning to the tank passes through a spin-on filter that is located on the return to tank line. The filter is located behind the right side rear corner protector, next to the radiator.
Hydraulic Oil Cooler
A standard hydraulic oil cooler allows the 302.5 to work in a wide range of temperature conditions with a wide range of work tools.
Auxiliary Circuits
Two optional front hydraulic auxiliary circuits are available to provide power to a range of hydromechanical tools, further increasing the versatility of the machine.
Control Design
A hydraulic pilot control design is used for the control of the stick, bucket, boom and upper frame swing circuits.
Swing Circuit
The swing circuit, with its own hydraulic pump, is unaffected by the operation of the front linkage, ensuring constant swing speed and force.
Control Pattern Changer
The standard pilot controls are configured to the ISO pattern. A pattern changer is available and allows the operator to choose either ISO or SAE controls.
Front Linkage
Boom
The boom has the typical large excavator curved shape. The boom cylinder incorporates end damping, reducing shock loading and bucket spillage.
Boom Swing
The standard boom swing has a cast swing post. The boom swing angle is 55 degrees. This prevents accidental interference between wide buckets and the cab/canopy structure.
Stick Length
Depending on the model, short and long sticks are available for Caterpillar Mini Hydraulic Excavators.
Operator Station
Visibility
The boom swing post is offset right of center of the operator's seat to enhance visibility of the work tool. For this reason, the back of the boom will never entirely cover the operator's viewing range.
Enclosed Cab
The cab of the 302.5 offers excellent comfort due to its size which is larger than that of most competitors.
Canopy
The four post design canopy is secured with four bolts. The structure comes with mounting blocks for lights, mirrors, and front guards.
Seats
A choice of seats, vinyl static, vinyl suspension or fabric suspension, with seat belts, are available to meet the requirements of customers. Seats are contoured for comfort and support and are adjustable fore/aft.
Lockable Storage Area
There is lockable storage area, space for small tools, literature, etc. located under the seat.
FOPS/TOPS Requirements
Cab and canopy options meet both FOPS (Falling Objects Protection)ISO 3449 Level I and TOPS (Tip-Over Protection) ISO 12117 certification requirements, providing the operator with a safe environment.
Work Lights
Two working lights can be installed on the same machine.
Beacon
A cab or canopy mounted beacon is available through the parts distribution system for field installation only.
Travel Alarm
An optional travel alarm signals when machine is traveling at the job site.
Hydraulic Controls
Low effort pilot hydraulics and ergonomically designed controls minimize fatigue and maximize comfort for the operator.
Seat Belt Width
The standard width seat belt on Caterpillar Mini Hydraulic Excavators is 2", but a 3" option is available to meet the legal requirements in the States of California and Oregon in the USA, and in British Columbia in Canada.
Radio Preparation Package
This equips the cab with speakers, wiring and mounting brackets (radio not included) and is only available when ordering a cab.
Tool Kit
Enables operators to make necessary checks / repairs. This kit comprises 4 wrenches, a torque wrench, a screwdriver, a hammer, two wrenches and a tool roll.
