class performance.
Proportional Auxiliary Hydraulics.
Versatility of the hydraulic system can
be expanded to utilize a wide variety
of hydraulic work tools using multiple
valve options.
High Pressure Auxiliary Circuit
• The Multi-function Valve is the
core of the Tool Control System.
This system allows an operator to
select up to five pre-programmed
work tools from the monitor. These
preset hydraulic parameters support
either one-way flow or two-way flow.
• The dedicated Hammer Function

Ease of Operation
Designed for simple, easy operation, the M318C allows the operator to focus on production.

Joystick Steering. Enables an operator

to reposition the machine in the first
gear while simultaneously working with
the implements, keeping both hands
on the joysticks. The operator is more
productive using this feature.
Power Control Settings. Three modes
allow the operator to choose the optimum
engine and hydraulic power setting.
• Economy mode provides the best
fuel efficiency allowing lower
owning and operating costs.
• Power mode is used for normal
machine operation providing peak
performance under any operating
condition.
• Travel mode automatically engages
when the travel pedal is depressed.
This mode provides maximum speed
and drawbar pull when repositioning
or moving the machine to a new
work location.
Adjustable Hydraulic Sensitivity.
This hydraulic modulation control allows
an operator to adjust the sensitivity
of the machine according to the job
requirements. Four levels of sensitivity
can be selected on the soft touch panel to

Undercarriage
Undercarriage and axle design provides maximum strength, flexibility and mobility on wheels.

Advanced Disc Brake System. The new

disc brake system works directly on the
hub instead of the drive shaft to avoid
planetary gear backlash. This eliminates

Serviceability
Extended service intervals and easy access reduce operating costs.

Air Filter. Caterpillar Radial Seal air

filters eliminate the use of service tools,
reducing maintenance time. The air filter
features a double-element construction
and built-in precleaner for superior
cleaning efficiency. When the air cleaner
plugs, a warning is displayed on the
monitor screen inside the cab.
Capsule Filter. The hydraulic return
filter, a capsule filter, is situated inside
the hydraulic tank. This filter prevents
contaminants from entering the system
when the hydraulic oil is changed.
Engine Inspection. The engine can be
accessed from both ground level and the
upper structure. The longitudinal layout
ensures that all daily inspection items
can be accessed from ground level.
The engine and pump compartment
are separated by a steel wall.
Remote Greasing Block. A greasing
block located in the engine compartment
with two grease points for the swing
bearing and one for the front end
attachment delivers grease to hard
