Operator Station
Simple, easy operation allows the operator to focus on production.
A larger, spacious cab provides operator comfort and improved
visibility. Joystick controlled swing boom and auxiliary switches
clear space on the fl oor giving the operator plenty of foot and
leg room. An intuitive cab layout for ease of operation reduces
operator fatigue. Other cab features include:
• Air conditioning is standard.
• 12V power receptacle for charging cell phones.
• A reclining air suspension seat with adjustable armrests.
• Storage space for literature and cup holder.
• Low effort joystick controls designed to match the operator’s
natural wrist and arm positions. Consoles can be adjusted
independently of the seat for maximum comfort.
• Overhead skylight improves visibility and can be opened
to create air fl ow.
• Upper front windshield opens and easily stores on the roof
above the operator with an automatic latching mechanism.
• All functions are fully pilot operated lowering owning and
operating costs.
• Pattern control changer is located under the fl oor mat.
Monitor Display
Newly designed LCD monitor is located to give a clear view
of the machine’s monitoring system, ensuring fuel level, water
temperature and warning lights are easily seen.
Compact Radius
More versatile in tight areas.
• The compact radius design provides greater versatility and
capability to work within confi ned areas. The radius of the
upper body stays close to the width of the undercarriage
allowing the operator to concentrate on the work at hand,
rather than the tail swing of the machine.
• Cab door is curved and shaped to follow the line of the
cab, it slides open taking up less space than a hinged door.
When working in tight areas this allows for safer ingress
and egress. This design maintains the machine’s compact
dimensions reducing the risk of damage.
• Jobsite fl exibility with a reduced risk of damage and less
stress for the operator add up to higher rates of productivity.

Performance
Powerful digging with precise control.
Hydraulics
Smooth responsive hydraulics give the level of control demanded by the
customer in any application, from fi ne grading and dozing to backfi lling.
Powerful bucket and stick digging forces combined with fast cycle times result
in world class productivity and performance. Automatic two speed function
improves jobsite maneuverability with precise control by balancing travel
speed with the torque needed for turning and traveling on inclines. Dozer blade
fl oat function enables easy ground levelling for landscaping and fi nish grade
applications as well as more effi cient jobsite clean-up. Economy mode can be
selected with the in-cab LCD monitor and provides better fuel effi ciency in a
platform well suited for less experienced operators.
Controls
Joystick mounted auxiliary and boom swing control enhances machine
controllability. Intuitive controls give fi ne modulation. The levers and dozer
function ensure “as new” levels of controllability are maintained throughout
the machine life.
Lift Capacity
The new Caterpillar D-Series has industry leading lift capacity matched with
outstanding stability in a compact radius package. This provides the on-site
versatility required to match the diverse and continually changing needs
of the customer.
Stick and Boom
A choice of standard or long, thumb ready sticks enable the customer to match
the machine’s digging envelope to their requirements. The boom options feature
a fi xed boom to maximize stability and lifting and a swing boom design that
maximizes reach. The swing boom also allows the operator to trench parallel
to tracks, dig close to structures and dig a box-section without repositioning
the undercarriage.
Engine
Clean, quiet and effi cient.
• Interim Tier 4 turbocharged engine
gives higher power and maintains strong
performance at high altitude.
• High digging forces give power through
even the most compacted ground with
smooth control and responsive hydraulics
that deliver productivity that our customers
demand.
• Load sensing hydraulics optimize the fl ow
of oil for smooth powerful performance
and increased fuel economy.
• Automatic engine idle lowers engine
revolutions when not in use to conserve fuel
and lower environmental noise/emissions.

Work Tools
Cat work tools are matched to meet your application needs.
A wide range of tools have been developed and integrated into
the machine design to maximize machine performance and
deliver excellent value through high productivity and long life.
• Heavy Duty Buckets • Shears
• Heavy Duty Rock Buckets • Compactors
• Ditch Cleaning Buckets • Thumbs
• Hydraulic Hammers • Quick Couplers
• Augers
Couplers
To maximize performance, Caterpillar Pin-Grabber Quick
Couplers are compatible with all standard work tools, enabling
the operator to simply release one work tool and pick up another,
maximizing productivity. The couplers are available in hydraulic
and manual versions.
Auxiliary Hydraulics
The combined function high-pressure auxiliary lines and quick
connectors are fi tted as standard. This auxiliary system includes
a diverter valve which provides optimum performance when using
a one-way fl ow (hammer) or two-way fl ow (auger and thumb)
work tool. This feature allows the machine to adapt to a wide
variety of applications without re-confi guring the auxiliary lines.
Versatility is further enhanced with optional hydraulic lines enabling
the use of a hydraulic quick coupler. A secondary auxiliary
supply circuit for work tools utilizing a rotating or other mediumpressure circuit is also available as an optional attachment.
The auxiliary fl ow can be changed through the in-cab
LCD monitor from 64 L/min (16.9 gal/min) to 128 L/min
(33.8 gal/min). This allows the machine and work tool to
provide optimum performance and better match the customer’s
application requirements.
Thumbs
Caterpillar offers three varieties of thumbs: Stiff Link, Hydraulic
and Progressive Link. The stiff link thumb incorporates the
use of a fi xed link between the thumb and the stick, requiring
bucket curl to secure the load. The hydraulic thumb replaces
the stiff link with a cylinder that enables movement by both the
thumb link and the bucket to grab an object. A progressive link
thumb works much like a hydraulic thumb with more thumb
rotation by incorporating an additional link. This additional
rotation provides a better working range when securing material.
The three varieties come with two lengths, one compatible with
a pin-on bucket and one compatible with a pin-grabber coupler.

Undercarriage
Excellent stability.
The Cat 308D CR and 308D CR SB offer four different
track options to choose from allowing the correct machine
confi guration to suit the job.
Steel Track
The standard track offering is a 450 mm (18 in) triple grouser
track. Grease-lubricated track links, split master link and sealed
track rollers reduce owning and operating costs. Steel tracks
provide optimum stability when lifting over the side. This track
is also offered in a 600 mm (24 in) width that provides additional
stability and reduced ground pressure.
Rubber Belt
New to the D-Series is a 450 mm (18 in) width rubber belt.
This rubber belt is a traditional mini excavator attachment
providing minimal work site damage and the ability to work
on multiple surfaces. Construction of this rubber track consists
of embedded steel shanks which engage the sprocket and steel
cables ensuring rigidity and straight travel.
Segmented Rubber Track
The 450 mm (18 in) wide segmented rubber track incorporates
the best attributes of both the steel track and the rubber belt.
Stability is maximized due to the rigid rubber pads that bolt to
the track chain. The thick rubber pads are individually serviceable,
minimizing work site damage and provide long wear life.
Rubber Pads
Offered through the dealer parts system, the 450 mm (18 in)
wide shoe has four holes that attach rubber pads to the track.
This option will prevent damage to paved road surfaces
minimizing noise and vibration during travel with a standard
steel track system.
Blade Widths
The dozer blade is an important tool used for backfi lling
trenches, levelling, landscaping, lifting and jobsite clean-up.
There are two blade options available. The standard 2320 mm
(91 in) blade comes with a replaceable weld-on dozer wear
edge and the optional 2470 mm (97 in) blade comes with a
replaceable bolt-on dozer wear edge. Both blades are constructed
of hardened steel for longer life and extreme dozing ability.
Tie-down Points
Tie-down points are located on the blade and undercarriage for
easy and safe machine tie down for transportation.

Serviceability
Easy access and minimal maintenance requirements
keep your machine on the job.
Robust, reliable and easily serviceable are the key attributes
of Cat® Mini Hydraulic Excavators. Full steel body work
panels and protected front linkage lines are routed neatly out
of the way of potential damage above the boom. Easy access
to all daily service points are accessed through the rear hood
and side cover. A 500 hour engine oil change period lowers
operating costs and the Cat S•O•SSM points assist easy oil
sampling for preventative maintenance checks.
Product Link
The optional Product Link system simplifi es equipment fl eet
tracking. Using satellite or cellular technology, the system
automatically reports information such as location, machine
hours, active and logged service codes and security alarms.
Machine Security System
An optional Machine Security System (MSS) that utilizes
a programmable key system deters theft, vandalism and
unauthorized usage. MSS uses electronically coded keys
selected by the customer to limit usage by individuals or
time parameters.
