 Operator Station
Simple, easy operation allows the operator to focus on production.

A large, spacious cab provides operator comfort and improved

visibility. An intuitive cab layout for ease of operation reduces
operator fatigue. The 307D features:
• New cab layout emphasizes simplicity and ease of use.
Right-hand consoles provide easy access to all switches,
dials and controls.
• 12v point power receptacle/point for charging cell phones.
• A reclining suspension seat and adjustable wrist rests.
• Low effort joystick controls are designed to match the
operator’s natural wrist and arm positions. Consoles can be
adjusted independently of the seat for maximum comfort.
• Overhead skylight improves visibility and can be opened
to create air flow.
• Front windshield opens easily and stores roof space above
the operator with an automatic latching mechanism.
• All functions on the 307D are fully pilot operated lowering
owning and operating costs, resulting in less down time.
• Air conditioning as an option.
Monitor Display
The LCD monitor is located to give a clear view of the
machine’s monitoring system, ensuring fuel level, water
temperature and warning lights are easy to read and understand.
Performance and
Control
Powerful digging combined with smooth
responsive control.
High digging forces provide power through even the most compacted ground, coupled
with direct, smooth control through responsive hydraulics ensuring that the Cat
307D delivers the high productivity that customers demand. Load sensing hydraulics
optimise the flow of oil for smooth powerful performance and increased fuel economy.
Controllability
The new 307D front linkage has been perfectly balanced with the hydraulics to deliver
the high level of control required for fine grading and landscaping applications.
• Automatic two speed function improves jobsite manoeuvrability by balancing high
speed travel requirements and control.
• Joystick mounted auxiliary control enhances machine controllability. The intuitive
controls give fine modulation.
• The levers and dozer function ensure that “as new” levels of controllability are
maintained throughout the machine life.
• Auxiliary lines, including quick connectors are fitted as standard, meaning the Cat
307D comes ready to work.

Engine
• Dozer blade float function enables easy ground levelling for landscaping and
finishing applications as well as more efficient site clean-up.
• Optional boom lowering check valve includes integral overload warning device.
Lift Capacity
Clean, quiet operation
The new Caterpillar 307D has high level lift capacity matched with outstanding with superior power.
stability all in a Compact Radius package to provide the on site versatility required to
match the increasingly diverse needs of the customer. The new D Series Mini Hydraulic
Stick Excavators have a turbocharged
A choice of standard or long stick enables the customer to match the machine choice to engine providing increased power, fuel
their requirements. efficiency, altitude capability and overall
performance while meeting EU Stage
IIIa regulations.

Economy Mode
This standard feature allows the balance
of performance and fuel economy
while maintaining breakout forces and
lift capacity. Operating in economy
mode can help reduce your overall fuel
consumption.

Electronic Control Module (ECM)

The ECM responds quickly to operating
variables to maximize engine efficiency.
Fully integrated with sensors in the
engine’s fuel, air, coolant and exhaust
systems, the ECM stores and relays
information on conditions such as rpm,
fuel consumption and diagnostics.
 Work Tools
Cat Work Tools are matched to meet your application needs.

A wide range of work tools are specifically designed to get the

best out of the machine and deliver excellent value through high
productivity and long life. Cat Work Tools include:
• Digging Buckets
• Heavy Duty Buckets
• Ditch cleaning buckets
• Angling ditching buckets/Tilting Ditch Cleaning Bucket
• Hydraulic hammers
• Augers
• Shears
• Compactors
To maximize performance, Caterpillar mechanical and hydraulic
Quick Couplers are compatible with all standard work tools,
enabling the operator to simply release one work tool and pick
up another, maximizing productivity.
One-way flow (hammer) and two-way flow (auger and thumb)
auxiliary lines with quick connectors are fitted as standard.
This feature allows the machine to adapt to a wide variety of
applications without re-configuring the auxiliary lines. Here
versatility is further enhanced with the option of a second
auxiliary supply (for a rotating grapple).


Undercarriage
Excellent stabilty.

Depending on the customers application, the Cat 307D has three

different track options to choose from, allowing the correct
machine configuration to suit the job.

Steel Track
A triple grouser track is available in 2 width options: 450mm
(18”) and 600mm (24”).

Segmented Rubber Track

This option of track prevents damage to concrete and other road
surfaces ideal in urban applications.
Rubber Pads
The 450 mm (18”) wide shoe has four holes to attach the rubber
pads to the steel track shoes. This option prevents damage to
paved road surfaces and minimises noise and vibration during
travel.

Blade Widths
The dozer blade is an important and useful tool for the
Hydraulic Mini Excavator used for backfilling trenches,
levelling, landscaping and site clean up. There are two blade
width options available to accommodate the differences in track
widths.
Tie down points
Large oval tie down points are located on the blade and
undercarriage for easy and safe machine tie down for
transportation.


 Serviceability
Easy access and minimal maintenance requirements keep
your machine on the job.

Robust, reliable and easily serviced are the key attributes of

Caterpillar Mini Hydraulic Excavators. Full steel body work
panels provide durable protection against damage. All daily
service points are easily accessed through the rear hood and
side cover and a 500 hour engine oil change period lowers
operating costs. The Cat S.O.S. points assist easy oil sampling
for preventative maintenance checks.

Product Link
The optional Product Link system simplifies equipment fleet
tracking. Using satellite or cellular technology, the system
automatically reports information such as location, machine
hours, active and logged service codes and security alarms.

Machine Security System

An optional Machine Security System (MSS) that utilizes a
programmable key system that deters theft, vandalism and
unauthorized usage. MSS uses electronically coded keys
selected by the customer to limit usage by individuals or time
parameters.

Customer Support
Unmatched support makes
the difference

Your Cat dealer is ready to assist you with your purchase

decision and everything after.
