Digging Performance: Depth, Reach and Breakout

Work figures for this Caterpillar 312D2GC: 4.68 m maximum dig depth, 7.24 m of reach, and 68 kN of bucket force with the system at 34.3 MPa. The 0.58 m³ bucket matches the machine's rated envelope, and swing rate of 11.5 rpm supports continuous loading cycles. Every hydraulic function is pressure-tested in the audit, and the measured values are recorded with dated photos in the file.

Undercarriage and Track System

The crawler system on this Caterpillar 312D2GC is 450 mm of shoe width over 3.65 m of track, with ground pressure at 32 kPa. The audit logs the undercarriage as Good condition, healthy links and bushings (450 mm shoes) and measures the remaining wear on links, bushings, rollers and idlers with dated photos. Track adjustment is listed before listing. This is the package that carries the 13.2 Tons working weight on soft ground.

Cabin, Controls and Service Access

The operator station is the ROPS / FOPS documented enclosed cab with air conditioning. The controls are laid out for daily cycles, and the machine is set up for full-shift work. The fuel tank holds 410 L, which supports long working days without refueling stops on most sites, and ground clearance of 440 mm suits uneven terrain. Daily service points are accessible for the routine checks that keep a 13.2 Tons machine in the fleet productive.
