SIMPLE TO OPERATE

    
• Start the engine with the push button, a Bluetooth® key fob, or the unique Operator ID function.
    
• Program your power mode and joystick preferences using Operator ID; the excavator remembers your settings each time you go to work.
    
• Navigate quickly on the standard high-resolution 254 mm (10 in) touchscreen monitor or with the aid of the jog dial control.
    
• The Cat PL161 Attachment Locator is a Bluetooth device that makes finding your attachments and other gear quick and easy.
    
• The excavator's onboard Bluetooth reader or Cat App on your phone will locate the device automatically.
    
• Save time and energy with work tool recognition. A simple shake of the attached tool confirms its identity ensuring all attachment settings are correct, so you can get to work quickly and efficiently.
    
• Not sure how a function works or how to maintain the excavator? Simply access the operator's manual on the touchscreen monitor.
    
• The auto axle lock presses the pedal for you to reduce your overall number of actions. The machine automatically detects when the service brake and axle need to be lock or unlocked. It releases automatically when you press the travel pedal.
    
• Tiltrotator attachments--ours or other brands--work seamlessly with Cat 2D Grade, Assist, Payload, and E-Fence . With no additional hardware required, all you have to do is simply select "Third Party Tiltrotator System Installation" in the monitor, do the calibration, and get to work.
    
• Cat continues to improve user interface functionality for operators of all skill levels. The touchscreen monitor is an easy-to-use operating tool that presents the jobsite dashboard with an intuitive format. Productivity applications are displayed in  grid-view to read on-the-go, and touchscreen navigation is programmed to make sure job performance continues without any hold ups.

Safety

    
• Access daily maintenance points from ground level.
    
• Keep your excavator secure with Operator ID. Use your PIN code on the monitor to enable the push button starting feature.
    
• The standard ROPS cab meets ISO 12117-2:2008 requirements.
    
• Enjoy better visibility into trenches, in each swing direction, and behind you with the help of smaller cab pillars, larger windows, and a flat engine hood design. Rearview and sideview cameras are standard.
    
• The service platform design provides easy, safe, and quick access to upper service platform; the service platform steps use anti-skid punch plate to prevent slipping.
    
• The standard hydraulic lockout lever isolates all hydraulic and travel functions in the lowered position.
    
• Ground-level shut-off switch stops all fuel to the engine when activated and shuts down the machine.

Boost Efficiency and Productivity with Integrated Cat Technologies

    
• Boost productivity versus traditional grading with optional Cat Grade with 2D system.
    
• Optional Cat Payload helps you achieve precise load targets to improve your operating efficiency. Pick up a load of material--with a bucket and thumb combination or grapple and clamshell attachments--and get a real-time weight estimate without swinging.
    
• Combine Payload with VisionLink® and remotely manage your production targets or take payload data with you. 
    
• Upgrade to our dual antenna GNSS for maximum grading efficiency. The system lets you create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job, or you can have the plan design sent to the excavator to make your work easier. Plus, you get added benefits of avoidance zones, cut and fill mapping, lane guidance, and augmented reality along with advanced positioning capability.
    
• Optional Grade Assist helps you stay on grade – simply and effortlessly – with single-lever digging. Set your desired bucket angle and let Bucket Assist automatically maintain the angle in sloping, leveling, fine grading, and trenching applications
    
• Optional 2D E-fence is integrated right out of the factory to prevent the excavator from moving outside operator defined set points.
    
• All Cat Grade systems are compatible with radios and base stations from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica. Already invested in a grade infrastructure? You can install grade systems from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica onto the machine.

Sustainability

    
• The Cat® C3.6 engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, and Korea Tier 5 emission standards.
    
• The M314 emits up to 5% less CO2 than the M314F*.
    
• Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels*** up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)** or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels.Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" (SEBU6250) for details.
    
• Cat Grade technologies combine advanced guidance with optional automated machine control helping you reach grading targets while reducing fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by improving efficiency, job site productivity, and accuracy.
    
• Auto Engine Speed Control reduces unnecessary fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by allowing the engine to automatically go into idle mode when the machine is not working.
    
• Cat® Payload for excavators provides on-the-go material weighing which helps reduce fuel burn by improving loading efficiency, job site productivity, and eliminating trips to the scale.
    
• Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine.
    
• Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•S℠) Services helps reveal excessive wear, contaminated fluids or other “unseen” issues that can shorten component life. In many cases, you can extend oil and coolant change intervals by using fluid monitoring. Consult your Cat dealer or the machine's operation and maintenance manual for more information.
    
• Don't waste fuel idling. Cat VisionLink® online fleet monitoring helps you manage idle time and reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions. VisionLink® displays the CO2 emissions for monitored assets, calculated by fuel type for the Runtime Fuel Burned each day in a selected date range.
    
• Remote Flash minimizes downtime and maintenance time while keeping your asset running with maximum efficiency. Alerts for machine updates are sent virtually from your Cat dealer and updates can be deployed without a dealer technician needing to be onsite. Remote Troubleshoot decreases maintenance time and keeps your machine running with maximum efficiency by allowing your Cat dealer to virtually test the machine while working. Once a problem is identified, a technician can fix it the first time, saving time and money.
