308E

Mini Excavators

The Cat 308E Mini Hydraulic Excavator delivers superior performance and comfort while reducing your fuel consumption and operating costs. The large spacious cab provides a comfortable work area. Intuitive seat-mounted controls are easy to use for greater job accuracy and efficiency. The standard tail swing design incorporates a counterweight that extends further back on the machine. This provides leverage to create a stable work platform during lifting and digging. The 308E sets the standard for conventional tail swing excavators in the eight-ton size class.
