Compact Radius
You can have flexibility and peace of mind in tight quarters.
    If your work space is restricted, the 314E CR makes an ideal choice because it can get up close to new residential construction,
    buildings, fences, hillsides, or any other “crowded” environment with ease.
    When rotated 90 degrees and working over the side, the 314E CR’s counterweight extends only a bit beyond the track width
    and doesn’t exceed the length of the track at all. This significantly reduces the risk of your operator damaging the machine
    and surrounding structures in full swing, which makes for a safer work environment and lower owning and operating costs
    for your business.

                                                                    You can count on reduced emissions,
                                                                   economical and reliable performance.
The Cat C4.4 ACERT engine is built to meet your demanding needs all day every day. There is no interruption to your job process as our
new regeneration system works automatically with no operator intervention required.
Power Modes
The 314E features two power modes: High power mode is when you need maximum production; economy mode is when you need
to balance performance with fuel economy.
Two additional fuel-saving features are on demand engine power and engine idle shutdown. On demand engine power keeps
speed low during light loading and idling and automatically adjusts speed up when it senses a heavier load; engine idle shutdown
automatically shuts the engine off when it’s been idling for more than a specified amount of time that you set, which can save you
significant amounts of fuel, reduce your emissions, and even reduce your accumulated service hours, which will extend service
intervals and improve re-sale value.
                                                                                                                                         5
Hydraulics
You can move dirt, rock, and debris with speed, precision, and efficiency.
6
Hydraulic System
One of the biggest contributors to your
productivity and fuel savings is a well-
designed hydraulic system, and this
is where Cat excavators stand apart.
The 314E CR is loaded with several
unique features that will put more
power to the ground with less money
out of your pocket.
Boom Regeneration
Electric boom regeneration results in less
pressure loss, higher controllability, more
productivity, and lower operating costs for
you; it works by reusing the flow of oil that
travels from the head of the boom cylinder
to the rod end of the boom cylinder during
your operator’s everyday “boom down”
operation. During boom regeneration,
engine speed is controlled to be low in
order to save extra oil flow from going to
the boom cylinders, which saves energy.
                                            7
Operator Station
Your operators will enjoy the incredibly quiet and comfortable cab.
                                                                                             Monitor

                                                                                             focused on the job at hand with a
                                                                                             high-resolution LCD monitor that is

Structures & Undercarriage
  You can take on a variety of tough tasks
           with this built-to-last machine.
      Frame
      You can expect excellent quality, reliability, and durability with
      the 314E CR’s reinforced lower and upper frames. Both are
      built to handle a hard day’s work over and over again.
      Undercarriage
      Long undercarriage supports any type of work you can do with
      a 14 metric ton machine. The track rollers are a double solid
      pin-type design to improve reliability; an optional two-piece
      guiding guard helps maintain track alignment and improves
      the machine’s overall performance.
      Counterweight
      The 314E CR has two counterweight options – 3.06 and 3.56 mt
      (3.4 and 3.9 t) – to optimally match your machine to the task
      at hand, whether it’s doing light trenching or heavy lifting.
      With integrated links, you can also easily – and safely –
      remove the counterweight for maintenance or shipping.
                                                                           9

                                                                                and more efficient.
                                                                                                 13
Serviceability
You can depend on safe, fast, and easy access.
Ground-Level Compartments
Your service technicians have ground-level access to the
radiator, pump, and air cleaner compartments through wide
service doors, making it easy for them to reach, check, and
replace fluids and filters.
Cooling System
The cooling package features an improved oil cooler and
engine radiator design mounted side by side and the air-to-air
aftercooler and A/C condenser mounted in front. The radiator
uses an aluminum square wave fin to prevent clogging with the
other components positioned to make cleaning cores easier –
a major service convenience.
The fuel tank’s remote drain cock makes it easy and simple to
remove water and sediment during routine maintenance.

Several built-in features will help protect your people.
                   Sound Proofing
                   Roof lining and sealing make your operator’s sound experience
                   inside the cab comparable to any of today’s top pickup trucks.
                   Anti-Skid Plates
                   Your operator and service technicians’ slipping hazards are
                   reduced with anti-skid plates on the surface of the upper
                   structure and the top of the storage box area.
                   Windows
                   You can easily store both the upper and lower window in cab.
                   You also have great overhead visibility and lighting with a
                   large skylight.
                   Rearview Camera
                   Your operator has a clear view behind the machine with an
                   optional rearview camera. The image projects through the
                   standard cab monitor.
                                                                                 15

                                                Sustainability
Your machine is designed to benefit generations ahead.
               • The C4.4 ACERT engine ensures you meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 Interim
                 emission standards.
               • An overfill indicator rises when the fuel tank is full to help your
                 service technicians avoid spilling.
               • An unique engine oil filter eliminates the need for painted metal
                 cans and aluminum top plates. The cartridge-style spin-on housing
                 enables the internal filter to be separated and replaced; the used
                 internal element can be incinerated to help reduce waste.

Caterpillar recommends using appropriate work tools to maximize the value customers receive from our products. Use of work tools, including buckets, which are
outside of Caterpillar’s recommendations or specifications for weight, dimensions, flows, pressures, etc. may result in less-than-optimal performance, including
but not limited to reductions in production, stability, reliability, and component durability. Improper use of a work tool resulting in sweeping, prying, twisting and/or
catching of heavy loads will reduce the life of the boom and stick.

Bucket Specifications and Compatibility
Caterpillar recommends using appropriate work tools to maximize the value customers receive from our products. Use of work tools, including buckets, which are
outside of Caterpillar’s recommendations or specifications for weight, dimensions, flows, pressures, etc. may result in less-than-optimal performance, including
but not limited to reductions in production, stability, reliability, and component durability. Improper use of a work tool resulting in sweeping, prying, twisting and/or
catching of heavy loads will reduce the life of the boom and stick.
                                                                                                                                                                               31
