Caterpillar D-Series wheel excavators are designed to deliver increased lift capacity and faster cycle times due to changes in engines and hydraulics (as compared to the C-Series machines they replace). The D-Series also feature expanded versatility and enhanced operator control as well as fuel efficiency that is seven to eight percent greater than the C-Series models.
Units use a powerful Cat engine with ACERT Technology, a dedicated hydraulic pump for the excavator swing function, and feature a heavy lift mode – for boosting lift capability by seven percent at the touch of a button. Each of the D-Series machines has greater draw-bar pull, increased bucket and stick force, greater dig depth and longer reach than the equivalent C-Series machine.
The D-Series wheel excavators range in size from 127 net hp (95 kW) with an operating weight of about 31,000 pounds (14,000 kg) to 166 net hp (124 kW) with an operating weight of about 48,000 pounds (22,000 kg). These highly mobile machines perform well on paved and unpaved surfaces and offer the ability to travel significant distances quickly.
