Lower your maintenance costs with new Cat small excavators

When purchasing equipment, a major point to consider is not just the acquisition cost but the cost of ongoing maintenance.

The newest generation of Caterpillar small excavators has the advantage of offering upfront savings on maintenance costs of up to 30% compared to the previous generation.

In general, 20% of maintenance costs are for hydraulics, not counting the cost of unplanned downtime in terms of lost revenue.

Save time and money with the next generation of excavators

The latest models feature ground-level maintenance points and longer periods between filter changes that help maximize productivity and profitability while saving money.

• All daily maintenance points accessible from ground level for quicker daily checks and servicing
• Check the engine oil level quickly and safely from the ground. Fill and check engine oil on top of the machine with a conveniently located second dipstick.
• S·O·SSM ports are located at ground level, simplifying maintenance and allowing for quick, easy extraction of fluid samples for analysis.

The new Cat small excavators come equipped with improvements that significantly reduce operating costs. 

• The new air filter designs double service life reducing filter changes by 50%. 
• What’s more, fuel, oil, air and hydraulic fluid filters now feature the same part number for multiple excavator classes, from 320 to 330.  And, at the 6000-hour scheduled maintenance period, what took 15 different filters on E/F series equipment now requires just 2 on the latest models.

With the new Cat small excavators, get to save time and money in so many ways:

• Fewer filter changes
• Less oil required in the system
• Less downtime for routine maintenance

And that means greater efficiency and profitability. Most daily maintenance operations can be carried out by the operator directly from the ground, which means they are more likely to be performed and the risk of slips and falls is reduced considerably.
