The Caterpillar 314E LCR is a compact radius hydraulic excavator in Caterpillar's 14-ton class, designed for work in confined job sites where tail swing clearance is limited. The LCR designation stands for "Low Cab Radius," indicating a reduced rear swing profile for improved maneuverability near structures, roads, and other obstacles. The 314E LCR is commonly used in utility work, urban construction, trenching, site preparation, and general excavation. It features a crawler undercarriage, hydraulic boom and stick system, and a cab configured for operator visibility and control. As an excavator, it is suited to digging, lifting, grading, and material handling tasks.
