Equipment Overview
The Cat 308 CR is an 8.1 to 9.4-tonne mini excavator delivering power and performance in an 8-tonne size class for a wide range of applications. Zero tail swing and a compact-radius design suit tight urban and residential sites, and the machine meshes well with the growing trend of urban redevelopment work. A straight or wide blade option, together with counterweight and long-stick configurations, lets fleets adjust the machine to different jobs, from footings and septic systems to foundations and slope work.
Power comes from a Cat C3.3B engine producing 69.5 hp (51.8 kW) net, meeting EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V and Japan 2014 emissions standards through a turbo and diesel particulate filter. Bucket digging force reaches 62.0 kN, and load-sensing, flow-sharing hydraulics with a Smart Tech electronic pump give efficient, responsive control. Cat Indicate adds visual and audible bucket-placement guidance relative to target grade, and Cat E-Fence restrains machine motion to preset boundaries when working beneath power lines, ceilings and trees, or above utilities.
