BENEFITS AND FEATURES

UNLOCK the new features and experience the value of the exclusive COMPASS control panel on the Cat E Series compact excavators

The COMPASS control panel on the Cat E Series mini hydraulic excavators was specifically designed by Caterpillar for compact excavators. It adds several new features to the machines increasing the amount of customer value. All of the following features are now standard on all E Series models. Complete - All of the control panel features are standard on all E Series models Operation - Simple operation of the pattern changer, hydraulic quick coupler and fuel gauge visibility all at the push of a button Maintenance - Maintenance intervals, diagnostics and work hours Performance - Maintain optimum performance levels with Eco mode and adjustable work tool flow features And Security - Anti theft device with individual user and master passwords System - Ergonomically designed control panel

Passcode Protected Security System A standard anti-theft device now comes on every E Series compact excavator. A five digit alphanumeric password is required to start the machine when the anti-theft feature is enabled. There is a master password and up to five user passwords can be created by the owner if desired. Keep your machine safe on a busy job site by locking it when you are not around.

Adjustable Auxiliary Work Tool Flow Control The E Series machines now have simple adjustability of the flow going down the boom and stick to the work tool. Both the standard main line and optional secondary auxiliary hydraulics can be adjusted on a scale of 1-15 through a few buttons on the control panel. Adjust the flow to your different tools with a simple push of a button.

Eco Mode This feature allows your machine to be set in a more economical power setting with a simple push of a button. While operating in this mode, the machine will maintain excellent performance levels while saving fuel through a slightly lower engine setting. Save money with the E Series compact excavators.

Continuous Flow Once this feature is enabled through a button on the monitor, the E Series machines can run in continuous flow mode. With the auxiliary hydraulics on the right hand joystick, just hold the roller switch at the desired flow rate and direction for 2.5 seconds and the machine will maintain that flow rate until it is turned off. Maintain hydraulic flow to your tools at any flow and in any direction with the simple push of a button.

Pattern Changer Change the operating pattern between excavator and backhoe with a simple press of a button from the comfort of the cab. Exclusive push button pattern changer is safe and easy.

Maintenance and Performance Information Easily keep track of various maintenance and performance parameters of your machine. Reset the maintenance intervals and ensure the machine is receiving proper care maximizing the life of the machine.

Excellent stability.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Depending on the customers application, the Cat 308E2 CR SB has three different track options to choose from, allowing the correct machine configuration to suit the job.

Rubber Belt Provides the lowest ground disturbance of all track options with excellent traction in conditions that are soft underfoot. The standard track offering is 450 mm (17.7 in) width.

Steel Track Good for demolition and heavy duty applications. A triple grouser track is available in two width options: 450 mm (17.7 in) and 600 mm (23.6 in).

Steel Track with Rubber Pads The 450 mm (17.7 in) wide shoe has four holes to attach the rubber pads to the steel track shoes. This option prevents damage to paved road surfaces and minimizes noise and vibration during travel while providing maximum stability.

Blade Widths The dozer blade is an important and useful tool for the Hydraulic Mini Excavator used for backfilling trenches, levelling, landscaping and site clean up. There are two blade width options available to accommodate the differences in track widths. The blade comes standard with a replaceable weld-on dozer cutting edge constructed of hardened steel for longer life.

Tie Down Points Large oval tie down points are located in two positions on the undercarriage for easy and safe machine tie down for transportation.
