C13D Diesel Engine

C13D Industrial Diesel Engine

DESCRIPTION

The Cat® C13D is a rugged and power-dense engine made for machines that continuously tackle tough jobs in industries including mining, construction, aircraft ground support, and more. Variants of this platform are suitable for countries with lesser off-road emission standards such as UN ECE R96 Stage IIIA and Brazil Mar-1. Furthermore, unregulated variants are ideal for countries without any off-road emission standards.

High Power Density

With power density as high as 53.5 hp/L (40 kW/L), and a power-to-weight ratio as high as 0.45 kW/kg (0.27 hp/lb), you can look to downsize the displacement and weight of the engine that’s currently powering your application.

Fuel Efficiency

Our electronically optimized engines are precisely engineered so you can save costs at the pump. Fuel consumption has been optimized to match operating cycles of a wide range of equipment and applications while maintaining low operating costs – even over various altitude and ambient conditions. These C13D variants without aftertreatment are compatible with up to B100 biofuels and 100% HVO, helping to save you cost, reduce lifecycle C02 emissions, while improving performance. To preserve the performance and integrity of the engine whilst reducing the risk of downtime or failure, fuels must meet the specifications and characteristics described in the official Cat® engine fluids guideline found on the Cat® SIS2GO App, accessible through https://www.cat.com/en_US.html.



Ideal Applications

Industrial, agricultural and construction applications such as:
• compressors
• trenchers
• chippers
• grinders
• irrigation equipment
• bore rigs
• drill rigs
• pumps
• hydraulic power units.

The C13D has high ambient and altitude and low cold start capability so is suitable for use in applications where there are harsher climates.

Low-cost Maintenance

With 1000-hour oil and fuel change intervals, you’ll spend less time and costs maintaining your machine. And with technologies like hydraulic lash adjusters, you’ll spend less time servicing your engine and more time focusing on your work.

Cat Dealer Product Support

No matter where in the world the Cat C13D is, it’s backed by the reliable and extensive support the Cat dealer network offers across 192 countries. And for even more peace of mind, your Cat engine comes under warranty. See your Cat dealer for details.

Safety

At Caterpillar, safety is a priority. It's why we put all our engines through rigorous rounds of testing and validation. We make our engines reliable, so operators can focus on keeping their work site safe, secure and in service.
