Cat 303.5E CR

For even greater operator comfort, an enclosed cab is available as an option and features:

• Enclosed cab with heat and optional air conditioning to keep you comfortable in a wide range of conditions.
• Radio ready with speakers and easy radio installation.
• Removable lower front window and sliding windows for excellent overall visibility.
• Gas assisted front window slides up with minimal effort.
• Sliding door system offers good access and maintains the machine's compact dimensions, reducing the risk of damage.

The boom swing and auxiliary hydraulic functions are located at your fingertips providing smooth, easy operation. These joystick mounted controls deliver more productivity through precise movement of the boom swing and auxiliary functions. They also eliminate foot pedals and free up the floor for more room for the operator's feet. 100% pilot controls provide consistent flow and pressure throughout the life of the machine. This also allows all controls to be locked out while starting the machine and when the safety lockout bar is in the up position.

Unlock the new features and experience the value of the exclusive COMPASS control panel on the new E series Excavators. The brand new Complete Operation, Maintenance, Performance and Security System on the Caterpillar 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:

• A Standard Anti-theft Security System
• Adjustable Work Tool Auxiliary Flow Control
• Continuous Flow
• Economy Mode - save up to 20% fuel while maintaining high productivity with the push of a button.

All four E-Series models feature increased stability, while maintaining the compact radius design. This increased stability leads to more productivity and versatility through the use of heavier work tools and the optional long stick.

High digging forces and fast cycle times deliver the productivity that your job demands. Load sensing hydraulics optimize flow for smooth, powerful performance and increased fuel efficiency.

High performance power train provides optimized engine horsepower and strong performance. Engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage IIIA emissions requirements. Automatic engine idle automatically lowers engine revolutions when not in use to conserve fuel and lower environmental noise and emissions. The E-Series models feature an engine kill switch conveniently located in the cab and accessible from ground level.

With the standard automatic two speed feature, the machine will automatically balance high speed and torque travel requirements based on the conditions to give the operator the optimum speed and control. The machine can be put in low gear if slower travel is desired while in tight conditions.

Visibility to the blade is excellent in any position, allowing the blade to be positioned behind the operator and away from the front linkage for better access when back dragging and finishing in tight areas.

Increase machine versatility with the Cat angle dozer blade. Built for strength and durability, the hydraulic angle blade features a hardened steel wear edge and good protection to cylinders and hydraulic lines. The angle blade can be positioned straight ahead or angled up to 25 degrees to the left or right. This reduces the number of times required to back up and reposition when backfilling so you can finish the job faster. All functions of the blade are controlled with one joystick using a proportional roller switch for the angle function.

Optional steel track is available for harsh conditions such as demolition. The extra weight of the steel tracks generally provides better stability when digging over the side of the machine.

Optional rubber pads can be attached to the steel track to prevent damage to paved surfaces and minimize noise and vibration during travel with the steel track system. This option provides the maximum overall stability.
