The 432F has adjustable front and rear work lights. This allows the operator to direct the light wherever needed, providing maximum illumination to the work area whatever the ambient light conditions.
Designed with performance in mind, the 432F has higher breakout forces, load over height and reach, making life easier for you when truck loading or shoveling. Parallel Lift Loader arms offer self-leveling as standard, providing safe lifting of any palletized load. Versatility is enhanced with the choice of a General Purpose or Multi Purpose bucket, and visibility is excellent, the lower hood line enabling a clear line of sight to the top of the bucket.
The Cat proven Ride Control system is an option designed to reduce machine pitching and bouncing giving operators a smooth ride in all applications, including load and carry, roading, or simply moving around the job site. The system is engaged by a switch on the front console.
The 432F is equipped with a Return-to-Dig system, as standard. This system reduces loading cycle times by bringing the loader bucket back to the dig position automatically when lowering the arms. By the time the loader arms have been lowered to ground level, the bucket is in the correct position ready for the next load.
The 432F is available with an optional loader quick coupler, allowing greater loader versatility with a wide range of Cat work tools increasing machine utilization on any work site.
Whether close-up truck loading on a single road carriageway, or digging over obstacles such as walls, the 432F backhoe tackles the toughest jobs with ease. Combine the versatility with the powerful breakout forces, the controllability of the load sensing, flow-sharing hydraulic system and the 432F is capable of producing high levels of productivity with the minimum of operator effort. The boom is a narrow design, ensuring maximum visibility to the work tool.
The 432F is available with an optional extendible stick that increases dig depth and reach capability increasing the machines versatility and utilization. A sliding inner section design keeps the wear pads out of the dirt, extending adjustment and replacement intervals. Auxiliary lines, for operating work tools, have been routed so that they are protected from damage when working in the narrowest of trenches.
Designed to make necessary maintenance easier to perform, the F Series cast slider frame has exterior lock clamps, with no backhoe disassembly needed when servicing. The Swing Frame/Boom Foot pins have replaceable bushings in the bores. The 432F is equipped with Cat Cushion Swing, which enables very fast trenching by damping the boom oscillation down when returning to trench with the hoe.
Provides a hydraulic service to enable the operator to easily position the backhoe across the full width of the H-frame without the need to place the bucket on the ground. Ideal for use in utility applications such as gas, electrical, telecoms, etc.
It's rare that you'll be working at full production 100% of the time. So why should the machine be working flat out, using more fuel, making more noise, and increasing wear? The 432F has a load-sensing, closed center hydraulic system, which actively matches hydraulic power and flow to meet the demand needed by the task being performed. So whether you're trenching at full force, or delicately digging around services, you are in total control. As there is minimal demand on the system unless needed, there are less parasitic power losses, unlocking the true potential of the engine - providing better loading and roading performance.
The 432F features flow-sharing hydraulic valves, ensuring that the correct flow of oil reaches the implement cylinders, providing greater control and eliminating oil starvation when operating multiple functions, such as grading with the backhoe.
The 432F is equipped with a highly efficient variable displacement piston pump. Reliable high performance hydraulic hose is constructed from two strong steel braided layers and O-Ring face seal fittings provides a robust system ensuring excellent durability and resistance to damage from pressure spikes and hydraulic pulsing.
General Purpose and hydraulic Multi Purpose buckets are either Pin-on mounted or attached to the quick coupler. They can be fitted with either cutting edge or bolt on teeth. MP buckets are optional with fold over pallet forks.
For different soil types and digging applications there are multiple bucket designs available, including; Standard Duty, Heavy Duty, High Capacity and Extreme Service (Rock) Buckets. Either bolt on teeth or weld on adapters with pin on teeth can be fitted. Ditch Cleaning, Cribbing and Trapezoidal Buckets are also available.

Other features include a gear driven water pump and an automatically tensioned poly vee auxiliary drive belt, for increased life span.
Switch between 2 wheel drive (2WD) and all wheel drive (AWD) using the three position drive selector. A third mode, 2WD with all wheel braking, activates AWD when braking and returns to 2WD when brake pedal is released, ensuring positive braking effort in hazardous driving conditions.
The heavy duty Cat axles fitted to the 432F have been designed to be used in the most arduous of conditions and the rear axle Differential Lock ensures that traction is maintained in all types of ground conditions.
The rear axle is an enclosed design with a wet multi-plate Kevlar braking system. This system is oil immersed and self adjusting, and allows operation in the harshest environments. The system has dual brake pedals for split braking in tight corners.
Hydraulically assisted braking reduces the amount of effort required by an operator on the brake pedals. By producing the same braking performance, with less force exerted, operators can be sure of quicker braking reactions and less fatigue on themselves.
The optional auto-shift transmission provides automatic gear selection between the five forward and three reverse gears and ensures that the correct gear is selected for the task in hand. Hydraulic clutch pack modulation provides smooth take up providing the operator with a more comfortable drive over all types of terrain. With auto-shift there is no floor mounted shift lever, so the operator has more floor space and better access through the right hand door.
If traveling from one site to another is an important part of your daily routine then the optional lock-up torque converter (available on the auto-shift transmission only) will enable you to maintain higher speeds, using less fuel, increasing machine productivity, saving you both time and money.
Make light work of daily checks, with the remodeled front nose, which swings open to reveal a hinged cooling pack for debris removal, keeping cooling performance to an optimum. All daily check points such as; fill points, air cleaner, washer bottles, indicators etc. are found above the engine bay, accessed with a simple release of the engine hood, removing the stresses of access in-and-amongst the engine bay. Sealed for life axles and driveshafts remove the need for operators to grease the time-consuming, awkward areas below the machine. Daily maintenance, which can be a chore for the busy operator, is kept to a minimum on the 432F.
The stabilizers and backhoe are designed to allow all wear pad adjustment to be done in-situ, using a simple adjustment mechanism. When wear pad adjustment is necessary, the adjustment bolts are easy to access, taking minutes to adjust, without the need for disassembly.
All Cat filters are vertically mounted for spill free servicing and reduced oil contamination. These low micron filters remove microscopic particles from the oil, keeping the engine, transmission and hydraulic system running smoothly for years.
