The excavator weights in at around 6 800 kg and is equipped with the new Cat C2.6 DI Turbo engine, which gen- erates a gross output of 43 kW. This power plant is matched with the machine’s load-sensing hydraulic system to provide excellent digging performance and precise operation in any application, from fine grading and dozing, to backfilling. Stick and bucket digging forces are at 37 kN and 50 kN respectively; while maximum reach at ground level is 6 300 mm, with a digging depth to 4 100 mm and dump height to 5 150 mm. The standard bucket size is 0,31 m 3 . Caterpillar’s 307E can also be configured as a front shovel by turning the bucket around for optimum flexibility. On-site tasks include utility pipe services, backfilling along walls, and cleaning material from inside truck beds. www.barloworld-equipment.com
