Ease of use

As you’d expect from a Cat design the new 305 CR Next Generation excavators are straightforward to use with easy-to-use controls and an intuitive Next Generation LCD monitor. This provides quick access to vital machine information.

The ASHBROOK 5t excavators come with a heated cab, perfect for work on those cold days and in the inclement British weather.

In addition, stick steer mode, travel cruise control, and rubber tracks allow the digger to move around the site easily. Team this with the strong lift and dig performance and you have a very efficient machine.

What’s more, the compact radius design lets the operator access and work in the tightest spots on-site and the dozer float will aid clean-up at the end of the job.

Excavator efficiency

Reduce your operating costs with the Cat 305 CR Next Generation digger. This next-level machine comes equipped with features such as auto idle, auto engine shutdown, and load sensing hydraulics. Not to mention the engine which is EU Stage 5 compliant and will therefore help you meet your on-site emission targets.

The hydraulics are second to none as they are fitted with Proportional Control 1st Auxiliary and 2nd Auxiliary Hydraulic Lines. This enables the machine to be fitted easily with work tools. Check out our attachments on offer.

In fact, when tested versus earlier models the Cat 305 CR excavator performed 20% more efficiently due to improvements in lift, swing, travel, and multifunction.

Safety

For Cat the operator’s safety is number one when it comes to designing their machinery, therefore the Cat 305 CR Next Generation digger is as safe as they come. Safety features include work lights and a fluorescent retractable seat belt alongside a ROPS protected cab.
