Dashboards provide information such as hours, miles, location, idle time, and fuel utilization. Make informed decisions that lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your jobsite.

    
• Expect lower maintenance costs compared to the 313F GC.
    
• Quickly check and service your machine with all daily maintenance points accessible from ground level.
    
• Check the engine oil level quickly and safely from the ground. Fill and check engine oil on top of the machine with a conveniently located second dipstick.
    
• The hydraulic oil filter provides improved filtration performance, anti-drain valves to keep oil clean when the filter is replaced, and longer life with a 3,000-hour replacement interval – 50% longer than previous filter designs.
    
• The engine does not require diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).
    
• Track your machine’s filter life and maintenance intervals on the in-cab monitor.
    
• Boost productivity with proactive service reminders. The Integrated Vehicle Health Management system alerts the operator with step-by-step service guidance along with parts needed so you don't experience any unnecessary downtime.
    
• S·O·S^SM ports are located at ground level, simplifying maintenance and allowing for quick, easy extraction of fluid samples for analysis.

    
• Increase operator productivity with a large, comfortable cab.
    
• The cab has a wide seat that adjusts for operators of all sizes.
    
• Get in and out of the cab easier using the tip-up left console.
    
• Advanced viscous mounts reduce cab vibration.
    
• Control the excavator comfortably with easy-to-reach controls, all located in front of you.
    
• Stow your gear with plenty of in-cab storage beneath and behind the seat, overhead, and in the consoles. A cup holder, document holder, and coat hook are also provided.
    
• Use the standard radio’s USB ports and Bluetooth® technology to connect personal devices and make hands-free calls.

    
• Don’t let the temperature stop you from working. The 313 GC has a standard high-ambient temperature capability of 52° C (125° F) without de-rate and cold-start capability of -18° C (0° 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.

    
• Start the engine with the push of a button, a Bluetooth key fob, 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.
    
• Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, minimizing performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu.
    
• Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.
    
• The Cat® PL161 attachment locator allows you to track attachments across all worksites, reduce the number of lost attachments, and plan for attachment maintenance and replacement.
    
• Save more time and energy with the available work tool recognition feature. A simple shake of the attached tool confirms its identity and ensures all the attachment settings (pressure, flow, and dimensions) are correct so you can work quickly and efficiently.
    
• Not sure how a function works or how to maintain your machine? Simply access the operator’s manual through the touchscreen monitor.

    
• 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.
    
• 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, helping to increase safety and visibility.
    
• The 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.
    
• Brightly colored seatbelts allow easy recognition of properly utilized safety restraints.
    
• 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.

    
• VisionLink® provides actionable data insights for all assets - regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer.* Review equipment data from your desktop or mobile device to maximize uptime and optimize assets.
