The Caterpillar M318D wheel excavator offers easier transportation throughout and between job sites because it is built on wheels instead of tracks. If your earthmoving, trench digging, or material handling project can be completed on asphalt or roadways instead of thick or uneven dirt surfaces, the CAT® M318D wheel excavator rental is an ideal choice. Rent the M318D at our guaranteed lowest rates in BC and hire an operator from Rent1 to get your job finished quickly and professionally. If you require an excavator with similar operating weight that uses tracks to maneuver over sludge and rough terrain, try renting a Caterpillar 320D L.

The CAT® M318D comes demolition-ready: when you rent from Rent1, you have the option to attach a cab guard and a hydraulic thumb to your excavator. The M318D has an operating weight of 20,100kg (44,313 lb), a maximum digging depth of 18’9”, and a maximum digging reach (along ground) of 29’5”. The operator station has been completely redesigned to maximize comfort and increase safety, with an auto-weight adjusted air-suspension seat, heated and cooled ventilation cushions, and a colour monitor and rear-mounted camera.

Power: The M318D uses the CAT C6.6 ACERT 129 kW 178 hp gross power engine. The M318D has an operating weight of 44,312.9 lbs and a hydraulics system designed with reliability and controllability in mind. With an over-front lift capacity of 3,350kg (7386 lb.) which can be increased due to the variable adjustable boom settings, you get plenty of performance for all your earthmoving, trench digging, and material handling projects.

Efficiency: The ACERT engine is Tier 3 certified for minimal exhaust, helping reduce the carbon footprint of your construction or landscaping project. With a maximum digging depth of 18’9”, this heavy equipment rental can dig deep into holes to help you efficiently clear up construction debris, complete basement excavation work, or load sand and gravel into dump trucks.

Visibility: Maximum visibility is achieved by affixing all the glass directly to the cab, eliminating window frames to improve productivity and safety. The 70/30 split front windshield stores the upper portion above the operator when required, while a large skylight provides better upward visibility.

Versatile: Able to handle most jobs thrown at it, the M318D heavy excavator rental can and will do a great job digging, scaping, moving and using various attachments such as heavy duty buckets, ditch cleaning buckets, and hammer attachments to get the job site into working order. The main characteristic that sets the M318D apart from a normal excavator is that it’s on wheels—making for easy transportation around your construction site.
