Cat has introduced two new mini hydraulic excavators that are claimed to offer increased power and performance along with lower operating costs, for the markets of North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The new 304 and 305 CR models are the final machines to be reengineered to Cat's "next generation" mini hydraulic excavator design. The 4-tonne Cat 304, and 5-tonne Cat 305 CR mini hydraulic excavators are designed to "deliver more power to the pumps, higher bucket breakout forces and deeper standard digging depths to increase performance by up to 20 over their E2 series counterparts," according to Cat. Features include extended filter service life, common componentry throughout and flat, easy-to-replace side panels. The manufacturer said the units deliver up to 10 lower owner and operating costs.
