Operator Sound - 2000/14/EC | — |
The engine meets EU Stage IV emission standards, performs the same amount of work, while burning significantly less fuel than the previous model, which means more efficiency, less resources, and fewer CO2 emissions.
Outstandingly low sound levels, you won't believe your machine is running.
This program is a key element in the range of solutions offered by Caterpillar and Cat dealers to help customers achieve growth at the lowest cost while eliminating waste. Used equipment is inspected, guaranteed and ready for work and customers will benefit from a Caterpillar warranty.
Provides a quick response to changing loads, while delivering the same amount of power regardless of operating conditions.
The engine can run on B20 biodiesel fuel that meets ASTM 6751 standards – all to give you more potential fuel-saving flexibility.
To assure that our technology will meet your expectations for reliable trouble-free service, we subjected these engines and technologies to extensive operating hours of test and validation.
Designed for the operator, our cabs are unique.
Our seats provide all the comfort needed for a long day of work, including FULL adjustment. All seats are heated and air suspended. Automatic weight adjustment and air cooled seats are available.
ROPS/FOGS compatible cabs, seat belt alarm, safety bar, sideview camera … among others.
Have a look at the cab; you will see it is through details that we improve pleasure of operating.
Increased cab pressure, preventing from dust entry, combined with new the design contributes to reducing sound. Add in new hydro mounts to fix the cab on the frame and you have a cab that's as quiet as any of today's premium cars.
Cameras let you see what's going on around. The image from the side camera is displayed on an additional wide color screen, offering the full view from the front to the rear of the machine. The rear camera is integrated into the counterweight for enhanced protection.
Easy to read and in local language, the high resolution LCD monitor will keep you aware of any important information. “Quick Access” buttons allow a quick selection of favorite functions. The tool select function lets you preset up to ten different hydraulic attachments for quick tool changes.
Refinements. From the whole design to the smallest details. Convenient features, new advanced and transparent technologies, not only to reduce emissions but to further improve your daily experience when working with our products.
Work like no other with our wheeled excavators. The F Series generation is made to help you take on the wide variety of the challenges you face every day, more easily and with more pleasure, to keep you on the road to your success.
The machine automatically detects when the service brake and axle need to be locked (like when digging), or unlocked (roading), hence removing the need for the operator to systematically press the pedal. Brake and axle are released automatically by pressing the travel pedal again.
When it comes to moving material quickly, you need efficient hydraulics – the type the F Series can deliver.
Medium pressure function (for tilting buckets or rotating tools), high pressure lines (for tilting/rotating work tools requiring a third auxiliary hydraulic function), hydraulic quick coupler circuit: they all come standard, which allows you to switch from one work tool to another, without the need to add lines and hydraulic circuits.
Long life with effective heavy duty axles. The transmission is mounted directly on the rear axle for protection and optimum ground clearance. The front axle offers wide oscillating and steering angles.
Minimizes the rocking effect when working free on wheels. The disc brake system acts directly on the hub instead of the drive shaft to avoid planetary gear backlash.
Fenders provide excellent coverage of all tires, protecting the machine and surroundings from mud and stones being thrown up.
Keep both hands on the joysticks even when simultaneously moving the implements and repositioning the machine, by the use of the slider switch on the right joystick.
Booms and sticks are welded, box section structures with thick, multi-plate fabrications in high stress areas for the tough work you do.
The choice of various booms and sticks provides the right balance of reach and digging forces for all applications.
Scraping rock and finishing work is easy and fast. SmartBoom™ simplifies the task and allows more focus on stick and bucket, while the boom freely goes up and down without using pump flow.
The front parts automatically follow the hammer while penetrating the rock. Blank shots or excessive force on the hammer are avoided resulting in longer life for the hammer and the machine. Similar advantages with vibratory plate compactors.
Loading trucks from a bench is more productive and fuel efficient as the return cycle is reduced while the boom down function does not require pump flow.
The ride control system lets you travel faster over rough terrain with improved ride quality for the operator. Accumulators are acting as shock absorbers to dampen the front part motion. It can be activated through a button located on the soft switch panel in the cab.
If you have multiple tasks to get done in a typical work day, the M318F can help. Highly versatile, you can easily expand all the possibilities it offers by utilizing any of the variety of Cat attachments.
A quick coupler brings the ability to quickly change attachments and increase your flexibility. Operators will be encouraged to use the right tool for the job and fewer machines will be needed.
A wide range of buckets offers solutions for digging, excavating, trenching, loading and finishing. Ditch Cleaning buckets are suitable for grading and finishing in landscaping applications or for loading loose material that is stockpiled, where teeth would damage the surface.
With increasing environmental regulations, you need efficient ways to deal with waste. Save on transportation, manpower and dumping costs with Cat grapples by sorting debris at source and trucking it separately. When you need good penetration, you can count on Cat digging grabs.
Whether you do finish grading with leveling buckets, ditch cleaning, sewer and water, or compaction, the machine in combination with the appropriate work tool will do the job quickly.
When a structure must be demolished, it has to be done quickly – and sustainably. The Cat MP300 Multi-Processors let you do exactly that and meet every demolition need. Cat E Series hammers deliver very high blow rates, and shears provide effective scrap processing.
Match your Cat hydraulic work tools attachment to your Cat machine, and get the most out of the standard, built-in software. Work tool changes have never been easier!
Perform hydraulic tool changes in seconds … The new Auto-Connect hydraulic coupler automates tool exchange fully, so operators can change work tools quickly, from the safety and comfort of their cabs. The unique design of the Auto-Connect prevents ruptured hoses, avoiding unplanned downtime. It makes your operators more efficient and productive.
You can reach routine maintenance items like fuel and engine oil filters and fluid taps at ground level while fuel and DEF tank with engine air filter are accessible from the safety of the slip-resistant new service platform. Compartments feature wide composite service doors, designed to be more resistant to shocks, which all include gas struts to facilitate the opening. Components are now gathered in specific dedicated compartments, like the special electrical compartments.
The side-by-side and radial fan design allows greater cooling performance. The system is completely separated from the engine compartment to reduce noise and heat and all radiators are gathered in the same compartment while featuring easy-to-clean cores with a tilting device that requires no tool to unlock.
Ventilation inside the cab allows outside air to enter through a fresh air filter. The filter is located on the side of the cab to make it easy to reach, and it is protected by a lockable door that can be opened with the engine key.
An electric lubricator system is an available time-saving standard feature for greasing the whole upper carriage. Greasing points for the undercarriage are kept to a minimum and grouped. An electric refueling pump is also standard. The hose is stored in a dedicated tray, for more cleanliness. Add in the new electric lift pump removing the need to prime the system manually, the standard fuel and water separator and you get a machine that does the fastidious works for you.
