The Cat®315 excavator offers superior performance in a compact design. Standard, easy-to-use Cat technologies boost operator efficiencies and improve jobsite productivity while a large, ergonomic cab provides a comfortable working environment. Combined with simplified maintenance points, the 315 keeps you working, quickly and efficiently.

Increase productivity by up to eight percent over the 315F.
Work confidently in space-restricted areas. Dig, swing, and dump within a working space of 3.96 m (12 ft 11 in).
Easily work on slopes and move around your jobsite with 10 percent more swing torque and 14 percent more drawbar pull.
The advanced hydraulic system provides the optimum balance of power and efficiency while giving you the control you need for precise digging requirements.
Smart mode meets your power needs by automatically matching engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions.
Get higher production in demanding applications, easier penetration into piles, and faster cycle times with Cat® Advansys™ bucket tips. Quickly change tips with a simple lug wrench instead of a hammer or special tool, improving safety and uptime.
Auxiliary hydraulic options give you the versatility to use a wide range of Cat attachments.
The Cat C3.6 engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, and Japan 2014 (Tier 4 Final) emission standards.
Don’t let the temperature stop you from working. The 315 has a standard high-ambient temperature capability of 52° C (125° F) without de-rate and cold-start capability of -25° C (-13° F).

Boost productivity up to 45 percent versus traditional grading with the standard Cat Grade with 2D system ̶ includes indicate-only and laser capability.
Dig with guidance to depth, slope, and horizontal distance to grade. You can set up to four different depth and slope targets to help save time and money.
Standard 2D E-fence prevents your machine from moving outside operator-defined parameters.
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.
Upgrade to Cat Grade with Advanced 2D to create and edit grade designs with ease on a second, high-resolution 254 mm (10 in) touchscreen monitor.
Want a 3D system to improve your digging results? Caterpillar’s new single antenna global navigation satellite system (GNSS) makes it easy by giving you visual and auditory guidance to grade. Plus you can create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job. If your application calls for a dual antenna system, it’s easy to upgrade.
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.
Standard Product Link™ automatically and accurately collects data from your connected assets – any type and any brand. Information such as location, hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, maintenance alerts, diagnostic codes, and machine health can be viewed online through web and mobile applications.
Improve your accuracy and safety – Add a new Cat Tiltrotator system upgrade with factory-fit joysticks. The system allows a Tiltrotator to work with standard Cat 2D Grade and E-Fence; it uses the standard cab monitor to display the tool and engage its SecureLock™ so you don’t need spend money on an extra monitor.
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.

Increase operator productivity with an all-new, 13 percent larger cab. Comfort, Deluxe, and Premium cab options vary by region.
The Comfort cab is equipped with a mechanical suspension seat. The Deluxe seat is heated and air adjustable while the Premium seat is heated and cooled and adjusts automatically.
Get in and out of the cab easier using the tip-up left console available in the deluxe and premium cabs.
Advanced viscous mounts reduce cab vibration.
Control the excavator comfortably with easy-to-reach controls all located in front of you.
Stow your gear with plenty of in-cab storage beneath and behind the seat, overhead, and in the consoles. A cup holder, document holder, and coat hook are also provided.
Use the standard radio’s USB ports and Bluetooth® technology to connect personal devices and make hands-free calls.

Start the engine with the push of a button, a Bluetooth key fob, or the unique Operator ID function.
Program your preferred power mode and joystick settings using your operator ID. The excavator will automatically remember your selections.
Navigate intuitively on the standard high-resolution touchscreen monitor with an easy-to use menu, minimizing performance interruption.
User interface has more efficient operation with reduced number of required touch-screen interactions. Identify apps quickly with a grid list view, abbreviated app names, and categorized menu options.
The Cat 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 your machine? Simply access the operator’s manual through the touch screen monitor.
Make moving the excavator much easier with Cat Stick Steer. Simply push a button and use one hand to travel and turn instead of both hands or feet on levers or pedals.
Make operating easier with the touch of a joystick button. Additional auxiliary relays allow you to power on or turn off a CB radio, beacon light, and even a dust suppression watering system without taking your hands off the joysticks.
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.
