Do More With Less Fuel

Do More With Less Fuel

        
  • The C7.1 meets Brazil MAR-1 emission standards, equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA.
  •     
  • Help reduce fuel consumption by matching the excavator to the job - Eco and Smart mode allow for automatic recognition of engine and hydraulic power in specific digging conditions.
  •     
  • Auxiliary hydraulic options give you the versatility to use a wide range of Cat® attachments.
  •     
  • Don’t let the temperature stop you from working. The excavator has a standard high-ambient temperature capability of 52° C (125° F) and cold start capability of –18° C (0° F). An optional –32° C (–25° F) cold start package is available.
Long Term Value and Durability

Long Term Value and Durability

        
  • Work up to 3000 m (9,840 ft) above sea level without de-rating.
  •     
  • Don’t let the temperature stop you from working. The excavator has a standard high-ambient temperature capability of 52° C (125° F) and cold start capability of –18° C (0° F). An optional – 32° C (–25° F) cold start package is available.
  •     
  • Auto warm up speeds up hydraulic oil warming in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components.
  •     
  • Two levels of fuel filtration protect the engine from dirty diesel fuel.
  •     
  • 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 risk of track damage.
Work in Comfort

Work in Comfort

        
  • The cab has a wide seat that adjusts for operators of all sizes.
  •     
  • Control the excavator comfortably with easy-to-reach controls all located in front of you.
  •     
  • Standard automatic climate control keeps you at the right temperature all shift long.
  •     
  • Stow your gear with plenty of in-cab storage beneath and behind the seat, overhead, and in the consoles. A cup holder, document holder, bottle holder, and coat hook are also provided.
  •     
  • Use the standard radio’s USB ports and Bluetooth® technology to connect to personal devices.
Designed for Operators

Designed for Operators

        
  • Start the engine with a push button; use a Bluetooth® key fob,or the unique Operator ID function.
  •     
  • Program your power mode and joystick preferences using Operator ID; the excavator will remember what you set each time you go to work.
  •     
  • Navigate quickly on the standard high-resolution 203 mm (8 in) touchscreen monitor or with the aid of the jog dial control.
  •     
  • Protect your hammer tool from overheating and rapid wear. Auto hammer stop warns you after 15 seconds of continuous firing and then automatically shuts it off after 30 seconds - all to extend the tool’s service life.
  •     
  • Not sure how a function works or how to maintain the excavator? Always have the operator’s manual at your fingertips in the touchscreen monitor.
  •     
  • 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 is a Bluetooth device that makes finding your attachments and other gear quick and easy.
  •     
  • Find the tool you need – even if it’s hidden beneath overgrowth or debris. The available Bluetooth reader can search for any work tool equipped with Cat asset tracking devices up to a range of 60 m (200 ft).
Lower Maintenance Costs

Lower Maintenance Costs

        
  • Expect lower maintenance costs compared to the 330D2.
  •     
  • Do all daily maintenance inspections at ground level.
  •     
  • Check engine oil level quickly and safely with the latest ground-level engine oil dipstick; fill and check engine oil on top of the machine with a conveniently located second dipstick.

  •     
  • High-efficiency cooling fans run only when needed; you can program intervals so they automatically reverse to keep cores clean without interrupting your work.
  •     
  • Boost productivity with proactive service reminders. Our 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.
