Caterpillar 315: 15-Ton Class Leader in Productivity & Efficiency

Application

The Caterpillar 315 has the advantages of strong power, strong stability, efficient construction capabilities, easy operation, convenient maintenance, high-quality manufacturing technology and reliability. It is an excellent tool widely used in earthwork projects.  

Features

1. High-Efficiency Powertrain
Powered by a Cat C3.6 engine (80.9 kW net power) meeting EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage V standards. Features Smart Mode to auto-match engine/hydraulic power for fuel savings, withstanding extreme conditions (52°C high-temp operation, -25°C cold start).

2. Advanced Hydraulic System
276 L/min main hydraulic flow + 35,000 kPa implement pressure for precise control. 10% higher swing torque (35 kN·m) and 14% more drawbar pull enhance slope performance and material movement efficiency.

3. Compact Maneuverability & Stability
5.2 ft (1,570 mm) tail swing radius for tight-space digging/swinging. 440 mm ground clearance and heavy-duty undercarriage (500/600/700 mm shoes) ensure stability on rough terrain.

4. Industry-Leading Technology
Standard Cat Grade with 2D (upgradable to 3D) for accurate depth/slope grading; Cat Payload for on-the-go weighing to avoid over/underloading. 2D E-Fence restricts work zones for safety.

5. Premium Operator Comfort & Safety
13% larger cab with 60% better vertical visibility, viscous mounts reducing vibration, and ergonomic controls. Features ROPS/FOPS cab, rear/right-side cameras, ground-level engine shutoff, and optional 360° visibility.

6. Low-Maintenance Durability
Hydraulic oil filter intervals extended to 3,000 hours (50% longer), fuel filters at 500 hours. All daily service points accessible ground-level, with grouped filters and easy oil checks to cut downtime.
