RELIABLE, WHATEVER THE ENVIRONMENT
Don’t let the temperature stop you from working. The 315 GC has a standard high-ambient temperature capability of 52° C (125° F) without derate and cold-start capability of -25° C (-13° F).
Auto warm up speeds up hydraulic oil warming in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components.
Grease sealed between track pins and bushings reduces travel noise and prevents debris from entering to increase undercarriage life.
The track guiding guard helps keep the excavator track aligned when traveling and working on slopes.
The sloped track frame prevents mud and debris accumulation, helping reduce the risk of track damage.
SIMPLE TO OPERATE
Start the engine with the push of a button or the unique Operator ID function.
Program your preferred power mode and joystick settings using your operator ID. The excavator will automatically remember your selections.
Navigate quickly on the standard high-resolution touchscreen monitor or with the aid of the jog dial control.
The Cat Locator is a Bluetooth device that makes finding your attachments and other gear quick and easy. The available Bluetooth reader or Cat App on your phone will locate the device automatically.
Not sure how a function works or how to maintain your machine? Simply access the operator’s manual through the touchscreen monitor.
SAFETY
Access all daily maintenance points from ground level – no need for you to climb on top of the machine.
The standard ROPS cab meets ISO 12117-2:2008 requirements.
Smaller cab pillars, larger windows, and a wider skylight hatch provide 60 percent greater vertical visibility.
The standard hydraulic lockout lever isolates all hydraulic and travel functions in the lowered position.
A ground-level shut-off switch stops all fuel to the engine and shuts down the machine when activated.
A rearview and right-side-view camera are standard, increasing safety and visibility.
New service platform design provides easy, safe, and quick access to the upper service platform. Prevent slipping with the anti-skid punch plate on the platform steps.
Optional boom and stick lowering check valves prevent reverse flow, keeping your front linkage securely in place should the hydraulic system unexpectedly lose power.
Enhance jobsite safety. Add a swing alarm to alert people when you're rotating from trench to stockpile and back again.
Make service work easier and safer with optional inspection lighting. With the flip of a switch, lights will illuminate the engine, pump, battery, and radiator compartments to enhance visibility.
