Caterpillar launches two new 13-ton class Next Generation excavator models – the Cat® 313 and 313 GC – with new features that elevate machine performance, increase efficiencies and lower owning and operating costs. The new 313 excavator boasts increased power and a range of standard Cat technologies designed to boost operator efficiencies by up to 45 percent. The new 313 GC model lowers maintenance costs by up to 25 percent, making it the right fit for rental, municipal, and general all-around excavating applications requiring dependable performance and low operating costs.

The new fuel-efficient Cat C3.6 engine powering these Next Gen excavators meets stringent U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage V emission standards, while offering up to 10 percent greater fuel economy than the previous Cat 313F and 313F GC models.

Cat 313 and 313 GC operators will experience a new, larger cab designed with improved ingress/egress to boost comfort and productivity. The 313 GC is standard equipped with the Cat comfort cab, while the 313 offers the choice of comfort, deluxe, and premium cab options.

The 313 and 313 GC feature a host of design upgrades that simplify maintenance to deliver up to 25 percent lower costs than their F-series counterparts. The fuel-efficient Cat C3.6 engine meets stringent emission standards, and the 313 GC does so without the required on-going expenditures for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). The excavators’ new hydraulic oil filter delivers improved filtration and a 50 percent longer change interval at 3,000 hours. New anti-drain valves keep the hydraulic oil clean during filter replacement to improve system longevity.

The new Cat 313 GC will be on display and demonstrated inside Cat Operator Stadium Wednesday through Saturday during CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020 in Caterpillar’s outdoor Festival Grounds exhibit #F4455.
