Coupler and Work Tool Options
New coupler design and multiple work tools increase versatility.
Couplers
The D-Series couplers have a new design with a choice 
of either a mechanical pin-grabber or the new hydraulic 
pin-grabber quick coupler option. The new design uses a 
wedge to keep the tool secure to the coupler, reducing wear 
and maintaining a tight fit through the life of the coupler. 
The new hydraulic coupler option allows the operator 
to change tools without leaving the comfort of the cab. 
Hydraulic quick coupler lines are available from the 
factory as an option.
Wide Range of Work Tools
A wide range of Cat Work Tools have been designed 
specifically for the Cat Mini Hydraulic Excavators to maximize 
machine performance. Available work tools include:
• 
Buckets (heavy duty and heavy duty capacity)
•
Tilting, Ditch Cleaning Buckets
•
Hydraulic Hammers
•
Augers
•
Thumbs (not available in all regions)
•
Vibratory Compactors

Quick Coupler
Standard Thumb Ready Sticks (optional in Europe)
Machines come standard with stick mounted brackets, ready 
to fit a hydraulic thumb for even greater machine versatility. 
A factory installed bracket and relief valve make hydraulic 
thumb installation simple and cost-effective.
Standard Auxiliary Lines and Accumulator
One-way and two-way auxiliary lines (combined function), 
including quick connections, are fitted as standard equipment 
so the machine comes ready to work. A standard accumulator 
allows for auxiliary pressure to be released, making connecting 
and disconnecting work tools safer and easier.
