Benefits & Features
Engine
A Powerful, Economical Solution
The Cat C3.4B engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final 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-Saving Features
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.
Proven Technology
- Every Tier 4 Final 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 results in the following:
- 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
Hydraulics
A Simple, Reliable System
The 313F L GC's hydraulic system is simple and reliable. The system uses a load-sense pump and a 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.
Maximum Versatility
When it comes to doing a variety of work, the machine's available high-pressure auxiliary and quick coupler circuits give you plenty of capability. An optional medium-pressure circuit (available from your local Cat dealer) adds more versatility. You can maximize that capability when you put Cat Work Tools out front. They will help you dig, load, break, and cut with confidence.
Less Components, Less Maintenance
The 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.
Operator Station
A Safe, Quiet Cab
The Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) certified cab is not only a safety feature, but it is also a sound suppressor due to its special sealing and insulation. With the door and windows closed, you will experience a machine that's as quiet as the truck you drive to work.
A Great View
Ample glass gives you great views out front and to the side. A large rear window, aided by a low-profile engine, gives you excellent visibility out back. A large skylight provides great overhead visibility; it also serves as an emergency exit.
A Cool and Warm Environment
The automatic climate control system features multiple air outlets with filtered ventilation. Air flows on the floor, behind the seat, and in front of you to make your work in either hot or cold weather much more pleasant and productive.
Ample Storage and Auxiliary Power
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. Power supply sockets are available for charging your electronic devices like an MP3 player, a cell phone, or even a tablet.
A Comfortable Seat
The standard mechanical suspension seat includes a reclining back, upper and lower slide adjustments, and height and tilt angle adjustments to meet your needs for maximum comfort.
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.
An Easy-To-Use Monitor
The monitor displays critical information you need to operate efficiently. 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.
Structures and Undercarriage
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 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 (5,400 lb) counterweight matches the machine's overall sleek appearance, and it provides plenty of balance for all of your work needs.
Front Linkage
Boom and Stick
The 313F L GC is offered with a 4.65 m (15'3") boom and a 3.0 m (9'10") stick. This combination gives you plenty of reach for general excavating applications.
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.
Attachments
Get The Most Out Of One Machine
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.
Change Jobs Quickly
A quick coupler brings the ability to quickly change attachments and switch from job to job. The Cat Pin Grabber coupler is the secure way to decrease downtime and increase job site flexibility and overall productivity.
Dig, Finish and Break
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.
Move All Sorts Of Material
Choose a thumb to work with your bucket and gain instant ability to move brush, rocks, and debris at your construction site.
Set Up Your Machine For Maximum Profitability
Your Cat dealer can install hydraulic kits to properly operate all Cat Work Tool attachments, maximizing the machine's uptime and your profits.
Simple Technologies
Link Technologies
This optional system is integrated into the machine monitoring system and is designed to help customers improve their overall fleet management effectiveness. Events and diagnostic codes as well as hours, fuel consumption, idle time, machine location, and other detailed information are transmitted to a secure web application called VisionLink®, which uses powerful tools to communicate to users and dealers.
Serviceability
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 313F L GC's ease of service. For example, the diesel particulate filter used to capture emissions is compact and maintenance free. No air-to-air aftercooler is needed, so that means more room to make cleaning cores easy. 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.
More Service Benefits
The fuel tank features a remote drain tube 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 tube to make oil changes easy without any tools.
Transportability
Easy To Move
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 tag trailer and go to work.
Safety
A Safe, Quiet Cab
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 top pickup trucks.
Great Views
Ample glass gives you great views out front and to the side. A large rear window, aided by 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; it also serves as an emergency exit.
Smart Lights
The 313F L GC has three working lights that provide all the illumination you will need. Plus the cab and chassis 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.
