What is the operating weight of the Cat 301 Mini Excavator?
The operating weight ranges from a minimum of 1,790 kg (with canopy, rubber tracks, and expandable undercarriage) to a maximum of 1,915 kg (with canopy, steel tracks, and full fuel tank). The EU CE Plate Weight is 1,890 kg based on the most common EU configuration.
What is the maximum dig depth of the Cat 301 Mini Excavator?
With the long stick configuration, the Cat 301 achieves a maximum dig depth of 2,540 mm. With the standard stick, the dig depth is 2,350 mm. The long stick also provides a greater maximum reach of 4,130 mm compared to 3,970 mm for the standard stick.
How does the Cat 301 Mini Excavator help reduce total ownership costs?
The Cat 301 delivers up to 15% lower total ownership costs through shared common components across the Cat mini excavator line, reduced repair expenses, and an innovative tilt-up cab design that simplifies access for service and maintenance, minimizing downtime and labor costs.
What hydraulic system does the Cat 301 Mini Excavator use?
The Cat 301 features a Load Sensing Hydraulic system with a Variable Displacement Piston Pump. It delivers a pump flow of 66 L/min at 2,400 rpm, with an operating pressure of 245 bar for equipment and travel. The bucket digging force is 16.2 kN, and the stick digging force is 9.5 kN (standard stick).
Is the Cat 301 Mini Excavator suitable for tight job sites and transport?
Yes. The Cat 301 features a compact design with a tail swing of only 650 mm and a retractable undercarriage (990 mm retracted, 1,300 mm expanded), making it ideal for confined spaces. The overall shipping length is approximately 3,590–3,620 mm depending on stick configuration, and it can travel at up to 4.4 km/h in high speed mode.
