Cat intros M314 and M318 Next Gen wheeled excavators

The Cat M314 and M318 Next Gen wheeled excavators feature multiple design updates

The M314 and M318 have 15 per cent more swing torque

Both Next Gen wheeled excavators are powered by the fuel-efficient Cat C4.4 engine that now meets stringent EU Stage V, US EPA Tier 4 Final, and Korea Tier 4 Final emission standards.

The two models deliver high power, while offering up to five per cent improved fuel economy. A larger fuel tank on the M314 provides extended work time between fuel refills.

From dirt to asphalt, these versatile excavators are built to quickly tackle a wide range of projects. Featuring up to 15 per cent more swing torque over the F Series, the M314 and M318 allow operators to quickly complete the task and move onto the next. With travel speeds in excess of 34km/h (21mph), they are fast and efficient moving from job to job.

The M314 and M318 come standard with the new, larger Next Gen operator’s cab that offers improved entry/exit and boosts comfort and productivity. A low-profile engine hood design, large front, rear and side windows, and small cab pillars offer improved visibility into the trench and around the machine, enhancing safe operation.

Standard rear view and side view cameras further improve visibility. Advanced viscous mounts reduce cab vibrations which cuts down on operator fatigue, while easy-to-reach controls help increase operating comfort.
