The CAT 316 GC is a 16-ton hydraulic excavator designed for urban construction, road trenching, and utility work across India. It has a Cat C4.4 engine that produces 100 HP, focused on steady fuel efficiency during medium-duty daily use. Weighing around 14,400 kg, this reliable CAT excavator provides solid digging power and stable performance on various ground conditions. The maximum digging depth of 5,580 mm is ideal for foundation and trench work in compact urban areas. A bucket capacity of 0.65 m³ allows for consistent material movement per cycle. Eco and Power modes enable operators to optimize fuel consumption for specific tasks. Swing torque has improved compared to the older 313D2 model, resulting in noticeably shorter cycle times. Maintenance costs can be up to 25% lower, as pilot and drain filters are now eliminated. Most daily checks are conducted at ground level, saving time between shifts. The cab offers good visibility, air conditioning, and easy-to-use controls. The CAT 316 excavator price in India ranges between Rs. 50 to 54 lakh. This makes this excavator from Caterpillar Construction Equipment a smart choice for rental businesses and urban contractors who manage foundation digs and road repair work.
