2022 CAT 305 NEXT GEN 101HRS-SOLD

Built to deliver an improved customer experience, the new 5-tonne Cat 305 CR Next Generation Mini Hydraulic Excavator delivers more power to the hydraulic pump, higher bucket breakout forces and deeper standard stick digging depths to increase performance by up to 20% over the previous 305E2 CR

The new 305 CR model is the final machine to be reengineered to the Cat next generation mini hydraulic excavator line concept. From the 1.5 to 10-tonne class models, all 11-13 Cat mini hydraulic excavators in the range (depending on region) offer common features and consistent controls layout to simplify training and operator adaptation

Common to most Cat next generation mini hydraulic excavators, the sealed and pressurised cab enclosure is available with heating and/or air conditioning for all-weather climate control. The cab’s large glass areas plus skylight afford all-around visibility. The large display with advanced touchscreen option provides intuitive machine function control and easy monitoring of critical operating parameters. A canopy option is available in some regions.

Daily maintenance checks for the 305 CR are quickly made from ground level through side doors. Expanded use of common parts throughout the line plus their damage-resistant exterior construction help to reduce parts inventory investment and lower repair costs. Increased service intervals mean these excavators spend more time on the job and less time in the shop.
