Latest Features

Cab Monitor Improvements

Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, minimizing performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu.
Identify apps quickly with a grid list view, abbreviated app names, and categorized menu options.
A new notification center keeps important information visible to the operator, and displays messages without shrinking the camera view.
Color coded notifications set critical messages apart from the rest.
Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.

Operator Coaching is an in-cab system that recognizes specific opportunities for operators to be more productive and prevent unnecessary machine wear and tear.
Optional Cat Detect - People Detection helps the operator avoid personnel on the jobsite with visual and auditory alerts.
Standard integrated vehicle health management system alerts the operator with service guidance and parts needed to enhance uptime.

Not all features are available in all regions. Please check with your local Cat dealer for specific offering availability in your area. Build Number: 05D.

Reliable & Durable Performance

The 313 low ground pressure machine has been designed for tough forestry and agricultural applications.
The C3.6 engine and electro-hydraulic system work in sync, allowing you to move large volumes of material without burning too much fuel.
The new main hydraulic pump is electronically controlled and provides higher fluid for improved control and productivity.
Digging force has been increased and the swing drive has been redesigned to provide up to 10% more swing torque and smoothness for improved performance.
A wide and high undercarriage and track provide design a balance of outstanding ground clearance, performance and stability.
A full length deck bumper and heavy-duty bottom guard offer increased protection.
Boom, stick and bucket linkages are reinforced for maximum durability.

Low Owning & Operating Costs

The 313 is designed to simplify maintenance and reduce maintenance costs, which can reduce costs by up to 20%.
Three working modes are provided, and the power can be selected according to the specific operation: Smart mode, which can automatically adjust the power according to the demand; Eco mode, which can reduce fuel consumption; Power mode, which can achieve the highest productivity.
Hydraulic and air filter life has been extended, and pilot and case drain filters have been eliminated.
A new electric priming pump system automatically prefills the fuel system on start-up, simplifying service and reducing the possibility of air cavitation.
The swing drive is now integrated with the hydraulic system, eliminating the need to check or refill a separate oil system.
Refill capacities of both hydraulic oil and engine oil have been reduced with no change in performance or service life.
The Automatic Engine Control (AEC) system lowers engine rpm to idling if there is no operator input for 5 seconds, reducing your fuel costs.
The Cat Product Link™ system comes standard so you can remotely monitor fuel consumption, machine health, location and hours via VisionLink® if desired.

The keyless engine push start is easy to operate.
The all-new electro-hydraulic joysticks require less operator effort and reduce operator fatigue significantly, while at the same time allowing customization of the joystick response and gain settings for maximum controllability.
Quickly navigate through simplified control menus on a high-resolution 203 mm (8 in) touchscreen monitor.
Cat continues to improve user interface functionality for operators of all skill levels. The touchscreen monitor is an easy-to-use operating tool that presents the jobsite dashboard with an intuitive format. Productivity applications are displayed in grid-view to read on-the-go, and touchscreen navigation is programmed to make sure job performance continues without any hold ups.

Work Comfortably

The 313 features an adjustable, wider seat and suspension for improved operator comfort.
Standard automatic temperature control ensures a comfortable temperature throughout the day.
A large touch screen features simplified menus for adjusting operator preferences.
Radio comes with Bluetooth connectivity allowing operator to pair the device, enjoy music of choice and pick up calls handsfree.
Convenient storage locations throughout the cab offer ample space for personal items.

Low Effort Maintenance

The radiator screen is easily removable for easy cleaning and eliminates small, hard-to-remove debris, such as grass clippings, from the radiator.
The engine compartment is easily accessible from the service platform; the oil cap and level gauge are easily accessible, and an automatic tensioner ensures you never have to adjust the conveyor belt.
Cat technology helps you monitor your machine, while the Caterpillar service network helps maximize uptime.

Safety Features

The 313 features emergency engine and electrical cut-off devices.
Emergency engine and electrical cut-off devices are accessible at ground level.
Extra handrails aid in easy servicing; steps and platforms use anti-skid plates with countersunk bolts to prevent slips and trips.
In an emergency, the operator can climb out of the machine through the rear window or steel sunroof.
The updated cab is designed with larger windows and smaller cab posts to provide excellent visibility.
Bright exterior LED lights ensure you're well aware of your surroundings on the job site.
