Caterpillar 313 vs Volvo EC140E
The Volvo EC140E is about 9% heavier than the Caterpillar 313 (15,075 vs 13,800 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
The Volvo EC140E has about 11% more engine power (90 kW (121 hp) vs 81 kW (109 hp)).
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Caterpillar and Volvo Construction Equipment in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
