If you say that Carter excavators are of excellent quality and durable, I'm afraid that no one in the industry will come out to oppose. As an absolute leader in the construction machinery industry, Caterpillar has never skimped on the pursuit of product excellence and research and development. Since June 2013, Caterpillar has launched a new generation of E-series excavators, such as the 306E, 307E, and the later 305.5E, which has changed the impression of users on the Caterpillar oil tigers; David, manager of the technical department of Caterpillar Wujiang, introduced that since 2013, the Caterpillar 308E excavator is the most efficient and durable excavator in the industry. David introduced, since the launch of Caterpillar E series mini-excavators in 2013, the customer response is good, efficient operation and fuel economy this point has also been recognized by the market; "small fuel consumption
Big harvest E" as
E series excavator product concepts have also been verified. Today we are going to bring you an E-series 8-ton excavator - 308E, which is also the latest mini excavator released by Caterpillar in 2014;
Cater's new 308E excavator made its debut in Changsha, Hunan Province
Before we understand the equipment, we still explain the background of the launch of the new product. The background of the launch of the new product. As we all know, in small excavators, especially in China, excavators in the 8-ton segment are not common and are not mainstream models. What is the reason for Caterpillar to launch this equipment without hesitation? From the relevant person in charge of Caterpillar we got the news: the launch of 308E excavator is entirely from Caterpillar's research on the market and customers, in the communication with the user, Caterpillar understands that the user in the small digging operation, there is a greater operational efficiency of the expectations, especially in the domestic, the users hope that the equipment applies to more working conditions, the user in the pursuit of faster return on investment; and this point blank was Caterpillar's sharp Caterpillar is keen to capture this gap. Of course, the user's needs as a starting point, which is also consistent with the new product development concepts of Caterpillar in the past. It is understood that this 308E excavator has another name called "high-yield king", whether in the overall configuration or its operating efficiency, fuel consumption, etc., whether in the domestic as well as even the world, there are few rivals.
Appearance, cab - the same lineage, thoughtful details
Customers are pushing the front window glass new experience
308E excavator in the appearance of the appearance of the Carter E series of mini-excavators to maintain the global unity of the shape of the design of the appearance of the part of the 307E and there is no major change; perhaps you can only look at the appearance of the Carter E series of mini-excavators global unity of the design of the appearance of the 307E.
The 308E excavator maintains the globally unified design of Carter E series mini excavators in terms of appearance, and there is no major change in the appearance of the 307E; perhaps you can only distinguish it from the appearance of the size, and it must be for the continuation of the style of 306E and 307E in the minds of users, which is easy to be broken.
Ultra-comfortable handle design
Humanization design has always been the strong point of European and American enterprises, and we found some surprises through the test-drive inside the cab of the 308E. For example, on the front window glass, equipped with a two-handed grip push switch, open only need to grasp the grip, thumb press. The front window glass will be raised to the top of the cab and parallel to it, which not only saves space, but also the new and convenient way of opening is still very practical, which is still a big change from the previous and similar excavators. 308E monitor is equipped with a new type of LED LCD system, which simplifies the interface and makes it more clear; the position is also moved from the right side of the seat to the front of the operator, which is more convenient for the operator to check the situation of the equipment; in addition, it also facilitates the operator to check the situation of the equipment; and it also facilitates the operator to check the situation of the equipment. The position has also been moved from the right side of the seat to the front of the operator, which is more convenient for the operator to check the situation of the equipment. This ensures that the air in the cab is fresher and gives the operator a healthier space. There are some new adjustments to the armrest support of the operating handle, the new footrest, and the placement of the water cup. Overall, the Carter 308E is still doing a good job in terms of details.
Configuration and features of the whole machine - dual-mode operation, high efficiency and toughness
308E is equipped with Carter C3.3 engine
Engine power is greatly improved
This 308E excavator is equipped with Carter C3.3 direct injection high-efficiency engine and the new HDH High-precision hydraulic system, from the 307E's C2.6 to C3.3, the engine power is greatly increased; especially in the work mode Carter 308E adopts the "standard" and "powerful" dual mode, such dual mode switching in the medium and large digging equipment This kind of dual mode switching is no longer new in medium and large excavators. And it is really difficult to see on the small excavator. Carter 308E such a configuration, visible ingenuity, it is not difficult to see, "small fuel consumption
Big harvest E" is indeed Carter tightly grasp the product concept, to ensure that in the big gains at the same time, but also to achieve low consumption.
Additionally, the 308E excavator is also quite good at high altitude operation: it does not suffer from power loss when operating at an altitude of 2,500 meters above sea level. It can meet the user's needs in high altitude operation. In the low-temperature start is also good, the standard 308E excavator can be easily started in the environment of minus 15 degrees, of course, if the user has a more demanding needs, you can also choose the optional "cold start water heating device", can be in the 15 degrees below the extreme cold conditions start smoothly.
Other aspects: the bucket capacity has been increased to 0.38 cubic meters. The bucket rod is also lengthened to more than 1.8 meters, both the working range and loading height have achieved a greater increase to meet the different needs of more users, as far as possible to meet a variety of working conditions. As the builder of the "High Yield King", Caterpillar has really invested a lot in this equipment.
Equipment Maintenance--Considerate and Convenient
The maintenance of the 308E excavator is more convenient. First of all, the overall counterweight has been reduced, and secondly, the side doors on both sides of the body have been enlarged, obviously increasing the maintenance space. For the convenience of maintenance, Carter has considered more comprehensively this time. In fact, all maintenance work on the C3.3
engine can be done on one side.
The last thing that needs to be delivered is that the bulldozer and the long bucket bar are as optional equipment for 308E, which customers can choose according to different working conditions. One of the highlights that must be said is that the push shovel of the Carter small digging has the industry's unique push shovel floating function, which is also the larger selling point of the Carter small digging. Because of this, some inexperienced operators, even if the technology is not pure enough, operating Caterpillar's mini excavator can also make beautiful grading, paving and other operations.
Overall, the 308E, as a new member of Caterpillar's newly launched E-Series family, does uphold the concept of low fuel consumption, while increasing the capacity of the design considerations. At present. 8 tons of excavators in the country has rarely launched, and as an individual user to invest in small digging equipment, the primary consideration is the balance of cost and short-term return. This Carter 308E excavator launched for these users can be said to fall from the sky.
