Equipment Overview
The Cat 305 CR is a 5-tonne mini excavator delivering power and performance for a wide range of applications, with a compact radius design that lets it access and work in the tightest areas. Dig-to-blade and dozer blade float allow for easy clean-up, and an angle blade option supports finished grading and easier backfilling work. Cat Grade with advanced 2D and 3D technologies, where fitted, combine guidance with optional automated machine control to help reach grading targets while improving efficiency and accuracy.
Power comes from a Cat C1.7 turbo engine producing 45 hp (33.6 kW), around 9% more power than its predecessor. Hydraulic system improvements deliver higher breakout forces, with bucket digging force reaching 44.7 kN. Compact-radius swing with a 300 mm track width suits confined urban and residential sites, and counterweight and track options let fleets adjust the machine to particular operations, including the use of heavier attachments.
