| The Cat 315 GC Next Gen compact radius excavator offers a new, larger cab design built for operating efficiency, lower maintenance costs by up to 25 percent and reduced fuel consumption by up to 15 percent. |
The new fuel-efficient Cat C3.6 engine meets Tier 4 final/EU Stage V emission standards. New Smart Mode operation automatically matches engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions, optimizing fuel consumption and machine performance.
The 315 GC’s new main hydraulic control valve eliminates pilot lines, reduces pressure loss and lowers fuel consumption. The excavator’s advanced hydraulic system provides the optimum balance of power and efficiency with the control needed for precise digging.
New cab elevates comfort
The 315 GC’s larger cab design improves ingress/egress plus boosts operator comfort and productivity. The spacious Cat comfort cab offers a low-profile design plus larger front, rear and side windows with narrow cab pillars to provide a 60 percent greater vertical visibility compared to the Cat 315F excavator.
A large, 8-inch LCD monitor/touchscreen offers easy navigation and intuitive operation, boosting productivity for operators of all experience levels. Standard rearview and right-hand sideview cameras further improve visibility. Viscous mounts significantly lessen cab vibration.
Reduce maintenance cost by up to 25 percent
Extended and more synchronized maintenance intervals on the new 315 GC excavator reduces maintenance costs by up to 25 percent compared to the 315F. A new hydraulic oil filter improves filtration and extends filter change intervals to 3,000 operating hours. New anti-drain valves keep the hydraulic oil clean during filter replacement.
Operators conveniently track filter life and maintenance intervals on the in-cab LCD monitor. All daily maintenance checkpoints, including oil, are easily accessible from ground-level, increasing machine uptime availability. A second engine oil dipstick offers service techs the additional convenience of checking and filling the oil at the top of the excavator. For quick and easy fluid extraction, all Cat S·O·S ports are quickly accessed from ground level for easy fluid sample extraction for analysis.
