Engine

Reduced emissions, economical and reliable performance

Cat® C4.4 ACERT™ Engine

The Cat C4.4 ACERT engine delivers the same level of
performance using signicantly less fuel than the previous
series engine.

Emissions Solution

Equipped to meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 Interim emission
standards, the 316E’s C4.4 ACERT engine features an
aftertreatment regeneration solution that ensures the
machine works as normal with no operator intervention
needed. The regeneration process automatically starts
once the ltering system detects soot buildup – with no
interruption to machine performance or the work process.

Biodiesel-Ready Fuel System

The C4.4 ACERT engine is equipped with an electronic­controlled high-pressure fuel system that includes an electric
priming pump and three-layer fuel hoses to allow the use
of biodiesel (meeting ASTM 6751 or EN 14214) up to B20
(biodiesel 20% mixture).

Cooling System

The cooling system features an air-to-air aftercooler
andA/Ccondenser that tilt up and swing out of the way
foreasy servicing.

Speed and Power Control

The 316E features speed control to maximize performance
while minimizing fuel consumption. Two different power
modes are offered: high power mode when you need maximum
production; economy mode when you need performance
withthe lowest fuel consumption. The operator can easily
change between modes through the console switch panel
tomeet the needs for the job at hand – all to help manage
and conserve fuel.

Operator Station

Comfort and convenience to keep people productive

Seats

The seat range includes air suspension, heated, and air cooled
options. All seats include a reclining back, upper and lower
seat slide adjustments, and height and tilt angle adjustments
to meet operator needs for comfort and productivity.

Controls

The right and left joystick consoles can be adjusted to meet
individual preferences, improving operator comfort and
productivity during the course of a day. With the touch of a
button, one-touch idle reduces engine speed to help save fuel;
touch it again or move the joystick and the machine returns
to normal operating level.

Monitor

The 316E is equipped with a 7" LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
monitor (1) that’s 40% bigger than the previous model’s with
higher resolution for better visibility. In addition to an improved
keypad and added functionality, it’s programmable to provide
information in a choice of 44 languages to support today’s
diverse workforce.

An “Engine Shutdown Setting” accessible through the monitor
allows owners and operators to specify how long the machine
should idle before shutting down the engine, which can save
signicant amounts of fuel.

The image of the rearview camera is displayed directly on the
monitor, which will help keep you focused on the job at hand.

Power Supply

Two 12-volt power supply sockets are located near key
storage areas for charging electronic devices such as an
MP3player and cell phone.

Storage

Storage spaces are located in the front, rear, and side consoles.

Hydraulics

Power to move more dirt, rock, and debris with speed and precision

Hydraulic Horsepower

Hydraulic horsepower is the actual machine power available to do work through implements and work tools. It’s much more
than just the engine power under the hood – it’s a core strength that differentiates Cat machines from other brands.

Main Control Valve and Auxiliary Valves

The 316E uses a high-pressure system to tackle the toughest of work in short order. The machine features a highly efcient
andsimple main control valve to improve fuel consumption; it also allows for greater tool versatility.

Electric Boom Regeneration System

The 316E regenerates the ow of oil from the head end of the boom cylinder to the rod end of the boom cylinder during a
boom down operation to save energy, which helps improve fuel efciency. It is optimized for any dial speed setting being used
bythe operator, which results in less pressure loss for higher controllability, more productivity, and lower operating costs.

Structures & Undercarriage

Built to work in rugged environments

Frame

The upper frame includes reinforced mountings to support the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
cab; the lower frame is reinforced to increase component durability.

Undercarriage

Long undercarriage supports various work applications. The track rollers are a double solid-pin-type
design to improve reliability compared to the single solid-pin-type design. A segmented two-piece
guiding guard is now offered to help maintain track alignment and improve performance in multiple
applications.

Counterweight

Built with an integrated rearview camera housing, the counterweight comes with integrated links
toenable easy removal for maintenance or shipping.

Booms and Sticks

The 316E is offered with a reach boom and three stick
congurations: R3.1 m (10'2"), R2.9 m (9'6"), and R2.6 m
(8'6"). Also, a new thumb-ready stick with brackets to attach
a Cat thumb on the machine is an available option. Each boom
and stick is built with internal bafe plates for added durability,
and each undergoes ultrasound inspection to ensure weld
quality and reliability.

Reach conguration balances digging force and bucket
capacity. It covers all applications this size of machine was
designed to take on such as digging, loading, trenching,
andworking with hydraulic tools.

Large box-section structures with thick, multi-plate
fabrications, castings, and forgings are used in high-stress
areas such as the boom nose, boom foot, boom cylinder,
and stick foot to improve durability. Also, the front linkage
pins’ inner bearing surfaces are welded with a self-lubricated
bearing used to extend service intervals and increase uptime.

7

Work Tools

Dig, hammer, rip, and cut with condence

An extensive range of Cat Work Tools for the 316E includes
buckets, compactors, grapples, scrap and demolition shears,
pulverizers, hammers and thumbs. Each is designed to optimize
the versatility and performance of your machine.

Quick Couplers

Quick couplers allow one person to change work tools in
seconds for maximum performance and exibility on a job
site. One machine can move rapidly from task to task, and
a eet of similarly equipped machines can share a common
work tool inventory.

Cat Center-Lock™ Pin Grabber Coupler

Center-Lock is the pin grabber style of coupler featuring a
patented locking system. A highly visible lock clearly shows
the operator when the coupler is engaged or disengaged from
the bucket or work tool.

Buckets

Cat buckets are designed as an integral part of the 316E
system and feature new geometry for better performance.
The leading edge has been pushed forward, resulting in
more efcient lling and better operator control for greatly
improved productivity. Wear coverage in the corners and
side cutter and sidebar protector coverage are improved.
Allbenets are captured in a new bucket line with a new
bucket naming convention.

Durability Categories Suitable for Any Situation

Caterpillar offers standard bucket categories for excavators.
Each category is based on intended bucket durability
whenused in recommended applications and materials.
Eachbucket durability is available as pin-on or can be
usedwith a quick coupler.

General Duty (GD)

GD buckets are for digging in low-impact, low-abrasion
material such as dirt, loam, and mixed compositions
ofdirtand ne gravel.

Severe Duty (SD)

SD buckets are for higher abrasion conditions such as
well shot granite and caliche. Red area on bucket image
illustrates additional protection against wear as compared
toaGDbucket.

Specialty Buckets

In addition to the standard four bucket categories,
specialtybucket styles are available for the 316E, each
withadifferent purpose:

• Ditch Cleaning buckets for cleaning ditches, slope

grading, and other nish work.

• Center-Lock Pin Grabber Performance buckets for

maximum digging performance while keeping the
versatility and convenience of a coupler.

• Wide Tip buckets for low impact material where leaving

asmoother oor and minimal spillage are necessary.

Integrated Technologies

Solutions that make work easier and more efcient

Cat® Grade Control Depth and Slope

This optional system combines traditional machine control and
guidance with standard factory-installed and calibrated components,
making the system ready to go to work the moment it leaves the factory.
The system utilizes internal front linkage sensors – well protected from
the harsh working environment – to give operators real-time bucket
tip position information through the cab monitor (1), which minimizes
the need and cost for traditional grade checking and enhances job site
safety. It also helps the operator complete jobs in fewer cycles, which
means less fuel use. Cat dealers can upgrade the system to full three­dimensional control by adding proven Cat AccuGrade™ positioning
technologies, including GPS and Universal Total Station (UTS).

*Indicates that the load is limited by hydraulic lifting capacity rather than tipping load. The above loads are in compliance with hydraulic excavator lift capacity

standard ISO 10567:2007. They do not exceed 87% of hydraulic lifting capacity or 75% of tipping load. Weight of all lifting accessories must be deducted from the
above lifting capacities. Lifting capacities are based on the machine standing on a firm, uniform supporting surface. The use of a work tool attachment point to
handle/lift objects, could affect the machine lift performance.

Caterpillar recommends using appropriate work tools to maximize the value customers receive from our products. Use of work tools, including buckets, which are
outside of Caterpillar’s recommendations or specifications for weight, dimensions, flows, pressures, etc. may result in less-than-optimal performance, including
but not limited to reductions in production, stability, reliability, and component durability. Improper use of a work tool resulting in sweeping, prying, twisting and/or
catching of heavy loads will reduce the life of the boom and stick.
