M315D ® Wheel Excavator Engine Engine Model Net Power Cat ® C4.
M315D Wheel Excavator The D Series incorporates innovations for improved performance and versatility. Engine ✔ Caterpillar’s exclusive ACERT™ Technology surpasses the most stringent emissions requirements in the construction industry. The U.S. EPA Tier 3 compliant C4.4 offers increased performance and reliability while reducing fuel consumption and sound levels. pg. 4 Versatility Caterpillar offers a wide variety of factory-installed attachments that enhance performance and job site management. pg.
Undercarriage Booms and Sticks Various undercarriage configurations ✔ Caterpillar excavator booms and sticks are available to provide the best are built for performance and long solution for your work environment; service life. The box section design these configurations can include a dozer provides the strength needed for even blade and/or outriggers depending on the toughest applications. Multiple boom your needs. pg. 8 and stick options allow you to pick the best match for your job. pg.
Engine Built for power, reliability, low maintenance, excellent fuel economy and low emissions. Cooling System. An electronically controlled, hydraulic motor drives a variable speed on-demand fan for engine coolant and hydraulic oil. The optimum fan speed is determined based on coolant and hydraulic oil temperature resulting in reduced fuel consumption and lower sound levels.
Hydraulics Fast cycle times, increased lift capacity, and high bucket and stick forces combine to maximize your productivity in any job. Dedicated Swing Pump. A dedicated variable displacement piston pump and fixed displacement piston motor power the swing mechanism. This closed hydraulic circuit maximizes swing performance without reducing power to the other hydraulic functions, resulting in smoother combined movements. Heavy Lift Mode.
Operator Comfort The interior layout maximizes operator space, provides exceptional comfort and reduces operator fatigue.
Interior Operator Station. Improved visibility and ergonomics are some of the many new features of the D-Series Wheel Excavators. The pressurized operator station provides maximum space and is designed for simplicity and functionality. Frequently used switches are centralized and are situated on the right-hand switch console. The lefthand seat console controls dozer blade and/or outriggers, and is tiltable for easy access to the cab.
Undercarriage Undercarriage and axle design provides maximum strength, flexibility and mobility on wheels. Fenders. The optional fenders provide excellent coverage of the front and rear tires, protecting the machine from mud and dirt. Water cannot splash up on the wind screen or cooler. The fenders further protect the machine from stones and debris being thrown up by the tires, providing additional safety for the machine, other vehicles and personnel working close to the excavator. Adjustable Travel Alarm.
Booms and Sticks Designed for maximum flexibility to keep production high on all jobs. Industrial Stick Sticks. Four different stick lengths are offered to match different application requirements: • Short stick (2.1 m/6 ft 11 in) for maximum breakout force and lifting capability. • Medium stick (2.4 m/7 ft 10 in) for greater crowd force and lift capacity. • Long stick (2.6 m/8 ft 6 in) for greater depth and reach requirements. • Industrial stick (3.
Work Tools A wide variety of Work Tools help optimize machine performance. Purpose designed and built to Caterpillar’s high durability standards. Orange Peel Grapples. The Orange Peel Grapple is constructed of high-strength, wear-resistant steel, with a low and compact design that makes it ideal for dump clearance. There are several choices of tine and shell versions. Multi-Grapples. The Multi-Grapple with unlimited left and right rotation is the ideal tool for stripping, sorting, handling and loading.
Versatility A wide variety of optional factory-installed attachments are available to enhance performance and improve job site management. Joystick Steering. The unique joystick steering option enables an operator to reposition the machine while traveling in first gear by the use of the slider switch on the right joystick. This enables the operator to keep both hands on the joysticks while simultaneously moving the implements and traveling.
Serviceability Simplified and easy maintenance save you time and money. Front Compartment. The front compartment hood can be opened vertically, providing outstanding ground level access to the batteries, air-to-air after cooler, air conditioner condenser and the air cleaner filter. Ground Level Maintenance. Caterpillar designed its D-Series Wheel Excavators with the operator and service technician in mind.
Capsule Filter. The hydraulic return filter, a capsule filter, prevents contaminants from entering the system when the hydraulic oil is changed. Fuel Filters. Cat high efficiency fuel filters with a Stay-Clean Valve™ features a special media that removes more than 98 percent of particles, increasing fuel injector life. Both the primary and secondary fuel filters are located in the engine compartment and can be easily changed from ground level. Engine Oil.
Environmentally Responsible Design The M315D helps build a better world and preserve the fragile environment. Quiet Operation. Operator and spectator noise levels are extremely low as a result of the new variable speed fan and remote cooling system. Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil. The optional biodegradable hydraulic oil (HEES™) is formulated to provide excellent high-pressure and hightemperature characteristics, and is fully compatible with all hydraulic components.
