The 434F can operate in conditions that push the limits of unequal size tire machines. High flotation and lower ground pressure exerted by the tires allows the machine to work in very poor underfoot conditions, such as greenfield construction sites and agricultural applications such as farm maintenance. Areas which are off limits to other types of machine are accessible with a Cat equal size tire Backhoe Loader, increasing productivity and machine utilization.
More lift height, a large bucket and stronger breakout forces enable the 434F to perform high productivity loading duties, such as hopper charging, bulk material transfer, grading and loading.
The 434F is available with either 24” or 28” tires, in bias or radial ply variants. This allows the correct choice of tire to suit any application or budget.
An AWS system, which can be switched into 2WS, Circle Steer, or Crab Steer is fitted as standard. This provides an excellent turning circle and good maneuverability for working in confined working areas.
A spacious interior with modern styling accommodates the operator with comfort and ease of operation, to meet the demands of even the most demanding operator. Cab width makes turning from loader-facing to backhoe-facing position simple, with no obstruction. Comfort is further enhanced with the first-class Cat air suspension seat, reducing fatigue on the body during those long working days. An easy opening single piece rear window enhances visibility of the surrounding area, and provides the operator with ventilation in warm conditions. The rear wiper maintains visibility in wet or dusty conditions by cleaning a large area of the rear screen. Excellent ergonomics ensure that all controls are within easy reach of the operator, and tinted glass is standard in all cabs. Other features such as remote stabilizer controls, large adjustable vents throughout the cab, and clear gauges provide the operator with a comfortable operating environment designed to reduce operator fatigue and increase productivity.
Cab ergonomics are vital in getting the most out of your machine. Pressure compensated, well placed levers ensure low effort and good controllability for maximum productivity.
The key interface between the machine and the operator is the seat. The Cat air suspension seat provides the operator with a comfortable working platform to ensure high levels of productivity with the minimum of fatigue.
The cab is attached to the mainframe with resilient mounts, reducing vibration and sound providing the operator with an all round comfortable working environment.
The 434F benefits from an optional, powerful air conditioning system, which provides good ventilation to the operator, ensuring the operator stays cool when working in warm temperatures. The ventilation system also provides plenty of demisting, defrosting and heating capability.
Designed with performance in mind, the 434F has higher breakout forces, load over height and reach, making light work of applications such as 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 further enhanced with a new, lower hood line design, providing a clear line of sight to the top of the bucket.
Your 434F 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 Cat 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 controlled by a switch on the front console.
Whether you're close-up truck loading on a single road carriageway, or digging over obstacles such as walls, the excavator-style boom tackles the toughest jobs with ease. Combining versatility with powerful breakout forces, the controllability of the load sensing, flow-sharing hydraulic system, the 434F 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 434F is available with an extendible stick that increases dig depth and reach capability, enhancing 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.
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 434F 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 434F also features flow-sharing hydraulic valves, ensuring the correct flow of oil reaches the implement cylinders, providing greater control and eliminating oil starvation when operating multiple functions.
The 434F is equipped with a highly efficient variable displacement piston pump. The reliable high performance hydraulic hose is constructed from two strong steel braided layers and O-ring face seal fittings provide a robust system ensuring excellent durability and resistance to damage from pressure spikes and hydraulic pulsing.
A 2.64:1 ratio torque converter in the 434F delivers incredible pushing power and acceleration when either roading or loading.
Automatic gear selection, with five forward and three reverse gears, minimizes operator effort with precision gear changing, engaging powerful drive in all applications. A hydraulic clutch pack modulation contributes to the operators' comfort by ensuring smooth gear changes, noticeably improving ride comfort over all types of terrain. The optional auto-shift transmission dispenses of the floor mounted shift lever, giving unrestricted access through the right hand door.
If roading is an important part of your daily routine, the optional lock-up torque converter (available on the auto-shift transmission only) will enable you to maintain high speeds and reduce fuel consumption, saving you both time and money.
