The VAB provides a maximum dig depth of nearly 4.3 metres and extends the 308E2’s maximum reach by 760 mm to a total of 7.78 metres.
Compared with the standard boom-and-stick configuration, dump clearance is extended by more than 1.4 metres to 6.08 metres. Â In addition, the VAB allows the 308E2 to work closer to the blade and tracks, resulting in added lift capacity when working in confined areas, Caterpillar says.
