Hydraulic Horsepower
Hydraulic horsepower is the actual machine power available to do work through implements and work tools. It’s much more
than just the engine power under the hood – it’s a core strength that differentiates Cat machines from other brands.
Main Control Valve and Auxiliary Valves
The 316E uses a high-pressure system to tackle the toughest of work in short order. The machine features a highly efficient
and simple main control valve to improve fuel consumption; it also allows for greater tool versatility.
Electric Boom Regeneration System
The 316E regenerates the flow of oil from the head end of the boom cylinder to the rod end of the boom cylinder during a
boom down operation to save energy, which helps improve fuel efficiency. It is optimized for any dial speed setting being used
by the operator, which results in less pressure loss for higher controllability, more productivity, and lower operating costs.
