Reliable, Durable Performance

        
  • The redesigned 316 GC allows you to be up to 15% more productive than with the previous 313D2 GC model.
    •     
  • The C3.6 engine delivers more power, is more fuel-efficient, and meets U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA emission standards, 
    equivalent to China Nonroad Stage III.
    •     
  • Breakout force is increased and a redesigned swing drive gives you improved swing torque and smoothness, increasing your productivity.
    •     
  • The main hydraulic pump is electronically controlled for greater efficiency and provides nearly twice the fluid flow of the previous model, improving control and productivity.
    •     
  • Undercarriage and track design better meet high production needs and deliver excellent stability.
    •     
  • A reinforced upper frame gives the 316 GC even greater durability.
    •     
  • A wide range of bucket and tool options lets you take on more tasks.
    •     
  • Reinforced bucket linkage pin allows for greater digging force.
    •     
  • Reinforced stick with tailor-made rebar makes the 316 GC reliable enough to handle any tough application.

Low Owning and Operating Costs

        
  • Match the power to the job with three working modes: Smart for power automatically adjusted to demand, Eco for lowest fuel burn, and Power for highest productivity.
    •     
  • The 316 GC is designed for easier and less expensive maintenance, lowering costs up to 20%.
    •     
  • Hydraulic and air filters have increased service life, while the pilot and case drain filters have been eliminated.
    •     
  • Most daily maintenance can be performed from ground level, decreasing the amount of time you spend on daily tasks.
    •     
  • Swing drive operates on the hydraulic system, eliminating the need to check or refill a different oil system.
    •     
  • Both the hydraulic and engine oil refill amounts have been reduced with no change in performance or service life.
    •     
  • When hydraulic demand is low, the Automatic Engine Control (AEC) system reduces RPM, lowering your fuel costs.
    •     
  • Cat Product Link™ comes standard so you can remotely monitor fuel consumption, machine health, location, and hours on demand through VisionLink®.
