When it comes to moving material quickly, you need efficient hydraulics – the type the MH Series can deliver.
The hydraulic oil cooler is mounted side-by-side with the engine radiator and the air-to-air aftercooler (ATAAC). Located separately from the engine and featuring a well-balanced sizing, the new cooling package offers unprecedented up-times even in difficult environments.
The front axle offers wide oscillating and steering angles. The transmission is mounted directly on the rear axle for protection and optimum ground clearance.
The disc brake system acts directly on the hub instead of the drive shaft to avoid planetary gear backlash. This minimizes the rocking effect associated with working free on wheels.
The driveline design effectively utilizes engine torque and power to provide a comfortable ride.
The MH3024 offers good ground clearance, with the transmission mounted on and protected by the rear axle.
The unique Cat SmartBoom significantly enhances operator comfort and job efficiency by reducing stress and vibrations transmitted to the machine. Loading is more productive and more fuel efficient as the return cycle is reduced while the boom down function does not require pump flow.
You know that a material handler works only as good as its front linkage is able to handle the job. The MH3024's booms and sticks are purpose built for the loads encountered in material handling applications.
MH booms include high pressure hydraulic lines for opening and closing functionality and medium pressure lines for implement rotation.
MH sticks are equipped with high and medium pressure auxiliary lines. The 4900 mm (16'1") and 5900 mm (19'4") Drop Nose Sticks offer the reaching and lifting capabilities required for typical MH applications, while the 4800 mm (15'9") Straight Stick is the best solution when additional work tool functionality is needed.
The MH3024 offers the ability to combine the hydraulic cab riser with a traditional excavator front linkage. This combination has been proven in transfer station, mining, and millyard applications. Automatic lubrication of the whole uppercarriage extends component life, protecting your equipment.
Keep both hands on your joysticks even when you need to reposition the machine while simultaneously moving the implements.
The machine automatically detects when the service brake and axle need to be locked (like when working), 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.
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.
FOPS cabs, seat belt alarm, safety lever, sideview camera … among others.
Have a look at the cab; you will see it is through details that we improve pleasure of operating.
Operator sound level has been reduced thanks to a new cab design and increased cab pressure, which also prevents from dust entry. Add in the rubber 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.
You can reach routine maintenance items like fuel and engine oil filters and fluid taps at ground level while fuel and DEF tank are accessible from the safety of the slip-resistant new service foldable step. 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 compartment.
The side-by-side and axial 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 ignition key.
An automatic lubricator system is an available time-saving standard feature for greasing the whole uppercarriage. Greasing points for the undercarriage are kept to a minimum and grouped. An electric refueling pump is also available. 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.
