- Inquiry
The Caterpillar 312GC Excavator is a game-changing mid-size construction machine designed to balance productivity, fuel efficiency, and operator comfort—making it a top choice for contractors, municipal teams, and rental fleets tackling general construction, utility work, and site preparation. As part of Caterpillar’s renowned GC (General Construction) series, this excavator is engineered to deliver reliable performance in diverse job site conditions, from urban renovation projects to rural infrastructure development, while keeping operational costs in check.
At its core, the 312GC features a powerful yet efficient Cat C4.4 ACERT™ engine, which meets strict global emission standards (EU Stage V / U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final) without compromising on power. This engine, paired with an advanced load-sensing hydraulic system, ensures smooth, precise control for tasks like digging trenches, loading trucks, and grading—even when handling heavy loads or working in tight spaces. The excavator’s compact footprint (with a width of just 2,590 mm) enhances maneuverability in confined areas, while its robust undercarriage and high-tensile steel boom and arm extend service life, reducing maintenance downtime and long-term ownership costs.
Operator experience is a key focus of the 312GC, with a spacious, climate-controlled cab that minimizes noise (69 dB(A) operating sound level) and vibration. Intuitive joystick controls, an adjustable suspension seat, and a high-resolution display simplify operation, reducing fatigue during long shifts. Additionally, integrated Cat Link telematics allow remote monitoring of machine health, fuel usage, and location—enabling proactive maintenance, optimized fleet management, and improved project scheduling. Whether used for small-to-medium construction jobs or as a versatile addition to a mixed fleet, the Caterpillar 312GC Excavator stands out as a cost-effective, high-performance solution for modern construction needs.
