engine and overall system efficiency delivers
industry-leading productivity.
Maximum Versatility
Easily configure a large variety of work tools
with the Cat Tool Control System.
Proven Reliability
Caterpillar ® design and manufacturing
techniques provide maximum uptime with
outstanding durability and service life.
Low Emissions Engine
Move material using less fuel with the
Cat C4.2 ACERT engine. It meets U.S. EPA
Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA emissions while
maintaining the power and performance
expected from Caterpillar.

Operator Station
Enhanced comfort, operation and visibility
Cab Exterior
The 311D LRR provides a new cab design that allows a
Falling Object Guard System (FOGS) or front windshield
screen to be bolted directly to the cab, at the factory or in the
field, enabling the machine to meet specifications and job site
requirements. The cab shell is attached to the frame with viscous
rubber cab mounts that dampen vibrations and sound levels to
enhance operator comfort.

Engine
Delivering the most work per liter/gallon of fuel consumed
The Cat® C4.2 engine with ACERT® Technology optimizes performance and meets U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA regulations.
In conjunction with integrated electronics, ACERT Technology reduces emissions during the combustion process by using advanced
technology in the air and fuel systems. The Cat C4.2 engine delivers exceptional power, allowing more hydraulic pressure to drive
productivity and reduce your cost per ton of material moved.
Economy Mode
Accessible through the in-cab monitor, economy mode allows you to balance the demands of performance and fuel economy while
maintaining the breakout forces and lift capacity enjoyed at standard power.
4
Hydraulics
Low effort and precise control for highly efficient performance
Outstanding Performance
With two percent more hydraulic pressure for additional lift
and breakout forces, the 311D LRR hydraulic system is designed
for high efficiency and performance. Auxiliary hydraulic and
electrical lines are routed to the boom foot making installation
of hydraulic circuits much easier. This compact design utilizes
short tubes and lines, reducing friction and pressure drops,
resulting in a more efficient use of power.
• Hydraulic snubbers at the rod end of the boom cylinders and
both ends of the stick cylinders cushion shock, reduce sound
and increase cylinder life.
• Flow is reduced to a minimum when controls are in neutral
to reduce fuel consumption and extend component life.
• Electronic Under Speed Control electronically adjusts pump
output to not exceed engine power, preventing the need to
reserve engine power to avoid engine stalls.
Easy Operation
Work mode and power mode switches have been eliminated
making full power available at all times. Operators do not need
to learn different modes. An automatic boom and swing priority
function automatically selects the best mode based on joystick
movement.
5
Undercarriage and Structures
Strong, stable and easy to maneuver
Carbody Design
X-shaped, box section carbody provides excellent resistance
to torsional bending. Robot-welded track roller frames are
press-formed, pentagonal units that deliver exceptional strength
and service life. Idler and center guards help maintain track
alignment when traveling or working on slopes.
Travel Motors
Travel motors with automatic speed selection let the 311D LRR
automatically change up and down from high and low speeds
in a smooth controlled manner.
Front Linkage
Reliable, durable and versatile
Built for performance and long service life, Cat booms and
sticks are welded, box-section structures with thick multi-
plate high strength steel fabrications. Service intervals are
extended with self-lubricating bearings that resist corrosion
and galling for superior durability.
Boom
The boom is designed for maximum digging capability and
is robotic welded to ensure consistent quality. This allows
excellent all-around versatility and a large working envelope.
Stick
Three stick options are available to meet your application
needs and increase performance and productivity. A new
2.6 m (8'6") intermediate stick is available to provide long
reach and increased digging and lifting capability.
Versatility
More options for more work
Work Tools
Caterpillar offers a variety of work tools, including hammers,
thumbs, grapples, multi, shears, pulverizers and vibratory
compactors to fit your application needs. Additionally, a wide
range of buckets are available to optimize machine performance.
Auxiliary hydraulic and electrical lines are routed to the boom
foot for easier installation of auxiliary hydraulic circuits, therefore
reducing time, parts and cost required to add a work tool.
Enhanced Systems
Work tool functionality has increased the versatility of the
machine with the enhancement of the following:
• An optional Combined System enables one or two pump flow
in one or two directions. With this system, only one hydraulic
circuit is required.
• The Tool Control System stores up to 10 different tool settings
through the in-cab display monitor. Cat Work Tools are
selectable with preset flows and pressures.
• Offered as an option, the Priority Flow System provides
one-way or two-way hydraulic work tools, such as a mower,
priority for hydraulic flow.
• Medium Pressure Circuit is available as an attachment for work
tools requiring moderate hydraulic flow, such as a rotating
bucket or shears.
• A reduced tail swing radius allows the counterweight to
swing within the length of the tracks, reducing the potential
for damage to the machine and job site obstacles on busy
work sites, alongside roadways and around tight residential
construction jobs to name a few.

Serviceability
Simplified service and maintenance saves time and money
Sampling Ports
Equipped with S•O•SSM sampling ports and test ports for
hydraulic, engine oil and coolant for quick diagnostics. A test
connection for the Cat Electronic Technician (Cat ET) service
tool is now located in the cab.
Air Cleaner
A double-layered filter core in the radial seal air filter gives more
efficient filtration. A warning is displayed on the monitor when
dust accumulates above a preset level. This filter is conveniently
located in the compartment behind the cab. An optional
pre-cleaner is also available to extend filter life and reduce
maintenance costs.
Capsule Filter
Capsule-type, hydraulic return filter is accessible from outside
the tank and prevents contaminants from entering the system
when changing the hydraulic oil.
Radiator Compartment
Removable screens are located in front of the radiator and
hydraulic cooler, reducing cleaning time and effort.

Technology Products
Advanced technologies improve productivity and simplify serviceability
AccuGrade™ Systems
AccuGrade™ Grade Control Systems are easy to use and deliver
a wide range of benefits to customers, including:
• Increased productivity
• Increased job-site safety
• Assistance with labor shortages
• Improved employee satisfaction and retention
• Increased equipment versatility
• Integration into Cat® machines
E-Ceiling Function
The e-ceiling function limits the operation of the boom, stick
and bucket – except for the swing when the height limit has been
set in advance. A height limit is set using the LCD monitor in the
cab and must be reset for each bucket. As the bucket is about to
exceed that height, the e-ceiling function starts and the bucket’s
vertical movement is brought to a halt.
