301.6C/301.8C Mini Hydraulic Excavators

Designed to deliver reliable performance, versatility and ease of operation.

Engineered Durability –
The heavy-duty structures and clean lines of
the Cat 301.6C and 301.8C ensure long life
and reduce maintenance costs in tough,
demanding applications.

Low Operating Costs

Protected front linkage lines, extra thick
side panels and protective counterweight
help reduce impact damage and costly
repairs. Service points are easily
accessed through a large, rear door
and a 500-hour engine oil change
period lowers operating costs. pg. 6

Performance and Versatility

High dig forces, fast cycle times and
high bucket rotation angles deliver the
productivity that customers demand.
A choice of stick lengths, Cat®Work
Tools and dozer float function make
the 301.6C and 301.8C Mini Hydraulic
Excavators even more versatile. pg. 5
