The Cat® E Series Mini Hydraulic Excavators deliver high performance in a compact size to help you work in the tightest
applications. All four models feature a large, integrated counterweight and excellent stability while maintaining a
compact radius design. With the new COMPASS control panel, the E Series has new standard features like a password
protected security system, Eco mode, adjustable auxiliary flow control, and continuous flow. These new features make
the machines more productive, versatile, and cost effective.

Operator Station
Superior comfort to keep you productive
throughout the work day
Joystick Controls
The boom swing and auxiliary hydraulic functions
are located at your fingertips providing smooth, easy
operation. They also eliminate foot pedals and free up
the floor for more room for the operator’s feet. 100%
pilot controls provide consistent flow and pressure
throughout the life of the machine. This also allows all
controls to be locked out while starting the machine.

Performance
Powerful digging with precise control
Stability
All four E Series models feature excellent stability while
maintaining the compact radius design. This increased stability
leads to more productivity and versatility through the use of
heavier work tools and the optional long stick.
Engine
High performance power train provides optimized
engine horsepower and strong performance
Automatic engine idle automatically lowers engine
revolutions when not in use to conserve fuel and lower
environmental noise and emissions.

COMPASS Control Panel
Complete, Operational, Maintenance, Performance and Security System
The brand new COMPASS control panel on the Cat® E Series mini
hydraulic excavators was specifically designed by Caterpillar for
compact excavators. It adds several new features to the machines
increasing the amount of customer value. All of the following features
are now standard on all five of the new E Series models.
Complete – All of the control panel features are standard on all five
of the new E Series models
And
Security – Anti theft device with individual user and master
passwords
Keep your machine safe on a busy job site by locking it when you
are not around
Adjust the flow to your different tools with a simple push of a button

UNLOCK the new features and experience the
value of the exclusive COMPASS control panel
on the new E Series compact excavators
Economy Mode
This feature allows your machine to be set in a more economical
power setting with a simple push of a button. While operating in
this mode, the machine will maintain excellent performance levels
while saving up to 20% fuel through a slightly lower engine setting.
Continuous Flow
Once this feature is enabled through a button on the monitor, the
new E Series machines can run in continuous flow mode. With the
auxiliary hydraulics on the right hand joystick, just hold the roller
switch at the desired flow rate and direction for 2.5 seconds and
the machine will maintain that flow rate until it is turned off.
Pattern Changer
Change the operating pattern between excavator and backhoe
with a simple press of a button from the comfort of the cab.

Compact Radius, Zero Tail Swing
Work in the tightest areas
Compact Radius
The compact radius design gives greater machine versatility and the
capability to work within confined areas. This allows the operator to
concentrate on the work being done without having to worry about
damaging the back of the machine or other job site obstacles. On the
305E CR and the 305.5E CR, the upper body stays within 140 mm (5.5 in)
of the undercarriage.

Undercarriage Stability and Durability
Rubber Track – The standard rubber track lets you work on multiple surfaces such as grass, pavement or stone without damaging
the surface or machine.
Steel Track Option – Optional steel track is available for harsh conditions such as demolition. The extra weight of the steel tracks
generally provides better stability when digging over the side of the machine. (Not available on the 304E CR.)
Rubber Pads – Optional rubber pads can be attached to the steel track to prevent damage to paved surfaces and minimize noise
and vibration during travel with the steel track system. This option provides the maximum overall stability.

Dozer Blade
Maximize your productivity
10
Coupler and Work Tool Options
Couplers
The E Series is available with a mechanical pin-grabber or
a hydraulic pin-grabber quick coupler option. The coupler
design uses a wedge to keep the tool secure to the coupler,
reducing wear and maintaining a tight fit through the life
of the coupler.
11
Serviceability
Simplified service and maintenance
save you time and money
12
Easy Service
Convenient service features make maintenance easy, reducing your downtime:
• Lifting side hood allows access to air filter, main implement valve,
1-way/2-way auxiliary flow selector, accumulator, fuel filter and hydraulic
tank. This eliminates the need to lift the cab when maintaining and servicing
the machine.
• Swing open door provides access to major components and service points
including engine oil check and fill, vertically mounted engine oil filter, starter
motor and alternator.
