2025 Caterpillar Small Excavators 317

HIGH POWER, STABILITY, AND EFFICIENCY

The 317 Hydraulic Excavator boosts productivity on your jobsite. Standard, easy-to-use Cat® technologies, performance upgrades, and low fuel and maintenance costs allow you to move material all day with speed and precision while keeping more money in your pocket.

BenefitsHIGH PERFORMANCE

A Cat® C3.6 engine, powerful hydraulics, and excellent machine stability give you the power to move material with speed and precision.

LOW MAINTENANCE COSTS

Do more work with extended and more synchronized maintenance intervals. Reduce your cost and service time compared to our previous series.

MORE OPERATOR EFFICIENCY

Increase your efficiency over traditional grade-checking methods with Cat® technologies.

LOWER CO2 EMISSIONS

The 317 emits lower CO2 emissions compared to the 316F.

Features may include:

High Performance And Productivity
  • Increased breakout forces and hydraulic power increase productivity over the previous model.
  • The advanced hydraulic system provides the optimum balance of power and efficiency while giving you the control you need for precise digging requirements.
  • Reduced fuel consumption over the previous model.
Low Maintenance Costs
  • Do more work with extended and more synchronized maintenance intervals. The Cat® 317 can reduce your cost and service time compared to our previous series.
  • Quickly check and service your machine with all daily maintenance points accessible from ground level.
  • Check the engine oil level quickly and safely from the ground. Fill and check engine oil on top of the machine with a conveniently located second dipstick.
Work In Confort
  • Increase operator productivity with a large cab. Comfort, Deluxe, and Premium cab options vary by region.
  • The Comfort cab is equipped with a heated air-suspension seat.
  • Get in and out of the cab easier using the tip-up left console.
Safety
  • Access all daily maintenance points from ground level – no need for you to climb on top of the machine.
  • The standard ROPS cab meets ISO 12117-2:2008 requirements.
  • A ground-level shutoff switch stops all fuel to the engine and shuts down the machine when activated.
Sustainability
  • The Cat® C3.6 engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, and Japan 2014 emission standards.
  • The 317 emits lower CO2 emissions compared to the 316F.
  • Auto Engine Speed Control reduces unnecessary fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by allowing the engine to automatically go into idle mode when the machine is not working.
