Small Excavators 316 GC

Cab Monitor Improvements

    
• Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, minimizing performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu.
    
• Smaller app tiles to view more apps in one screen.
    
• When navigating the menu, scroll position will be remembered.
    
• While menu is shown and lever is moved, camera view will be shown.
    
• Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.

    
• The redesigned 316 GC allows you to be more productive than with the previous 313D2 GC model.   
    
• The C3.6 engine delivers more power, is more fuel-efficient, and meets U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA emission standards, 
  equivalent to China Nonroad Stage III.
    
• Exceptional breakout force and swing drive helps to improve swing torque and smoothness for excellent productivity.
    
• The main hydraulic pump is electronically controlled for greater efficiency and provides nearly twice the fluid flow of the previous model, improving control and productivity.
    
• Undercarriage and track design better meet high production needs and deliver excellent stability.
    
• A reinforced upper frame gives the 316 GC even greater durability.
    
• A wide range of bucket and tool options lets you take on more tasks.
    
• Reinforced bucket linkage pin allows for greater digging force.
    
• Reinforced stick with tailor-made rebar makes the 316 GC reliable enough to handle any tough application.

    
• Match the power to the job with three working modes: Smart for power automatically adjusted to demand, Eco for lowest fuel burn, and Power for highest productivity.
    
• Extended and more synchronized maintenance intervals help you get more done at a lower cost.
    
• Hydraulic and air filters have increased service life, while the pilot and case drain filters have been eliminated.
    
• Most daily maintenance can be performed from ground level, decreasing the amount of time you spend on daily tasks.
    
• Swing drive operates on the hydraulic system, eliminating the need to check or refill a different oil system.
    
• Both the hydraulic and engine oil refill amounts have been reduced with no change in performance or service life.
    
• When hydraulic demand is low, the Automatic Engine Control (AEC) system reduces RPM, helping to lower your fuel costs.
    
• VisionLink® provides actionable data insights for all assets - regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer.* Review equipment data from your desktop or mobile device to maximize uptime and optimize assets. Dashboards provide information such as hours, miles, location, idle time, and fuel utilization. Make informed decisions that lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your jobsite.
    
• VisionLink Productivity gathers and summarizes machine telematics and jobsite data from all your equipment – regardless of the manufacturer.* View actionable information such as idle time, fuel burn, location, payload, load counts, total cycles, and more to improve machine efficiency, productivity, and utilization. Access data anywhere via a mobile, tablet, or desktop device - on or off the jobsite.
    
• Cat® Remote Flash is a mobile application that allows you to update onboard software without a technician being present, allowing you to initiate software updates when convenient, increasing your overall operating efficiency.

    
• Start the engine with a pushbutton.  
    
• One-button joystick (with optional one-slider joystick) help make control easy for any operator.
    
• Navigate quickly through simplified control menus on the high-resolution 203 mm (8 in) touchscreen monitor.
    
• Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, minimizing performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu.
    
• Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.
    
• Easily move soft, wet, and sticky material with a new, optional shallow profile bucket.
    
• Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, minimizing performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu.
    
• Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.

    
• Wide seat (larger than previous models) adjusts for operators of all sizes.
    
• Standard automatic climate control keeps you at the right temperature all shift long.
    
• Convenience features include a radio, headphone port, and a USB port for connecting and charging devices.
    
• Cup holder and storage space forward of the controls can hold large cups and wide cell phones; storage behind the seat can hold a hard hat, large lunchbox, and other items.

    
• Nearly all major mechanical components are accessed from the ground or the service platform.
    
• Radiator screens can be removed easily, are simple to clean, and keep the radiators free of small debris that can be difficult to remove, such as grass clippings.
    
• Engine compartment is easily accessed from the service platform; fluid caps and gauges are easily reached, and an automatic tensioner ensures you will never need to make belt adjustments.
    
• Cat technology helps you monitor your machine, and the Caterpillar service network helps you maximize uptime.

    
• Emergency engine and electrical shut offs are also at ground level.
    
• Handrails meet ISO 2867:2011 requirements; steps and platforms use anti-skid plates with countersunk bolts to help prevent slipping and tripping.
    
• Operator can exit in an emergency through either the rear window or the steel top hatch.
    
• Cab has large windows and small cab posts, providing excellent visibility into the trench and in every direction.
    
• Bright exterior LED lights and an optional rearview camera ensure you have total visibility on the jobsite.
    
• Enhance jobsite safety. Add a swing alarm to alert people when you're rotating from trench to stockpile and back again.
