Work Cycle: Dig Depth, Force and Swing

On the dig cycle, this Caterpillar 315D2L reaches 4.68 m below grade with 7.24 m of horizontal reach and 68 kN of bucket force. The hydraulic system operates at 34.3 MPa, and the 0.7 m³ bucket is the standard fitment. Swing speed of 11.5 rpm keeps the loader cycle flowing. The inspection documents hydraulic pressures at every function with time-stamped readings.

Undercarriage and Track System

Track figures for the Caterpillar 315D2L: 450 mm shoes, 3.65 m track length and 32 kPa ground pressure. The inspection records the undercarriage condition as Good condition, healthy links and bushings (450 mm shoes), with wear measurements photographed and dated. Track tension was set during the audit, and the rollers and idlers were checked for seal condition. The 15.8 Tons machine carries its mass on this running gear.

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 15.8 Tons machine in the fleet productive.
