Original price was: $152,777.00.$96,249.99Current price is: $96,249.99.
All Day Comfort — Cab Standard
A sealed, pressurised cab with improved air conditioning, adjustable wrist rests and suspension seat comes standard. No canopy option — the 308 CR is built for operators who need full-time enclosed protection.
C3.3B Engine — Most Powerful Cat Mini
The Cat C3.3B Turbo delivers 69.5 hp from 203 in³ displacement — the largest and most powerful engine in the Cat next generation compact mini range. Rated at 2,200 rpm for optimal torque delivery.
First Cat Mini to Break 300″ Reach
With the long stick, the 308 CR achieves 300.7″ maximum reach — over 25 feet — opening up applications like deep utility trenching, large drainage schemes and long-reach dredging work.
Highest Bucket Force in the Cat Mini Range
13,946 lbf bucket digging force and 9,509 lbf standard stick force — both the highest in the Cat compact mini excavator lineup — for the most demanding rock, frozen ground and hard clay applications.
Wide Blade Option — 96.5″
Standard 90.6″ blade covers more ground per pass. The optional 96.5″ wide blade is the widest available in the Cat mini range for maximum site preparation and backfill efficiency.
Customisable Operator Settings
Programmable performance modes allow operators to tune machine response across all functions — delivering up to 20% more performance in lift, swing, travel and multi-function tasks.
Safety on the Job Site
ROPS (ISO 12117-2:2008) and Top Guard Level I certification protect the operator. Courtesy work lights and fluorescent retractable seat belt are included as standard on every machine.
Lower Owning & Operating Costs
Improved fuel efficiency, longer service intervals, load-sensing variable displacement hydraulics and ground-level side-door maintenance access all reduce daily running costs versus the previous generation.
