The six-cylinder turbocharged engine is built for power, reliability, economy and low emissions which will keep the machine up and running.
The three-stage, one-touch control maximizes fuel efficiency and reduces sound levels.
The 3126 TA design improves operator comfort by reducing sound and vibration.
Improves productivity with faster implement speeds and quicker, stronger pivot turns.
Standard fine swing control cushions swing start and stop for better implement control.
The hydraulic cylinder snubbers at rod-end of boom cylinders and both ends of stick cylinders cushion shocks, reduce sound and increase cylinder life, keeping the machine working longer.
The hydraulic system offers precise control to the 322C FM, reducing operator fatigue, improving operator effectiveness and efficiency, which ultimately translates into enhanced performance.
Boom and stick regeneration circuit increases efficiency and reduces cycle times for higher productivity and lower operating costs.
Factory-installed and supported heel-boom grapples are matched to the factory logging fronts to increase production and reliability.
Every forest machine is equipped with a cab riser, which helps increase operator effectiveness. Standard hydraulic tilt simplifies transportation to meet shipping height requirements. the General Forestry Machines are built with the 457 mm (18 in) riser. The Log Loader Machines are built with the 1219 mm (48 in) riser.
The 322C FM operator work station is quiet with ergonomic control placement and convenient adjustments, low lever and pedal effort, ergonomic seat design and highly efficient ventilation.
Five hydraulic pump flows and pressure settings can be preset on the monitor, eliminating the need to adjust the hydraulics every time a tool is changed and instantly providing the operator with the correct amount of flow and pressure for each tool.
Redesigned cab layout emphasizes simplicity and easy usage. Right-hand wall and console provide easy access to all switches, dials and controls.
A large rubber-covered footrest at the side of the travel pedals allows the foot to easily grip the pedal. The travel lever stroke on the 322C FM have been enhanced to improve fine controllability, making the machine easier to operate.
For simpler operation, work mode and power mode switches have been eliminated. Instead, the automatic boom and swing priority function selects the best mode, based on joystick movement.
New, compact monitor enhances viewing while displaying a variety of easy to read and understand language-based information.
Two joystick hand levers and buttons actuate boom, stick, heel, grapple, and swing (SAE pattern). (Road builder with bucket operates same as excavator)
A new seat with a two-tone color offers two types of cushions, soft and firm, for operator comfort. The reclining knob is located at the right-side of the seat for easier reclining adjustment.
Newly designed using asymmetrical steel tubing for improved resistance to fatigue and vibration.
Advanced, reinforced, purpose-built carbody design stands up in the toughest forest applications.
Standard full-length track shoe support guards help protect rollers and provide increased rigidity to track links in rough underfoot conditions.
Factory forestry cab has options for windshield guard and window guards to meet local guarding requirements. The right side and rear windows are made from impact-resistant polycarbonate.
Heavy-duty access doors are standard on the 322C FM and are made from 6 mm (.24 in), high-strength, low alloy steel. Positive locking latch stays closed in forestry applications. Hinges have larger diameter pins over standard doors. The smooth door profile enhances machine appearance.
The Caterpillar log loader is purpose built for forest applications. Completely assembled, heel-type log loaders (including grapple) are available from the factory.
The Caterpillar® heel-type loader arrangements fit a wide variety of log handling and loading applications in the woods and millyards. Heel booms are especially well-suited for use with large diameter sawlogs.
Caterpillar Roadbuilders can be equipped with buckets, thumbs, clamshells and clearing grapples to fit a wide range of forest road jobs. HD, LE, and HW undercarriages are also offered.
Moving right-of-way logs, stumping, pioneering, stripping organic material, excavating shot rock, truck loading, back sloping, ditching, finish grading and slash piling.
The Caterpillar 322C FM delimber carrier can be fitted with a variety of delimbers.
The 322C FM service and maintenance intervals have been extended to reduce machine service time and increase machine availability.
The left rear service door allows easy access to the engine radiator and the oil cooler. The oil cooler swings out horizontally for easy cleaning. A reserve tank and drain cock are attached to the radiator for simplified maintenance.
The air filter features a double-element construction for superior cleaning efficiency. When the air cleaner plugs, a warning is displayed on the monitor screen inside the cab.
The design and layout of the 322C FM was made with the service technician in mind. Many service locations are easily accessible at ground level allowing critical maintenance to get done quickly and efficiently.
A service door on the right side of the upper structure allows ground-level access to the pump and pilot filter.
The hydraulic return filter, a capsule filter, is situated outside the hydraulic tank. This filter prevents contaminants from entering the system when hydraulic oil is changed and keeps the operation clean.
The 322C FM is equipped with S•O•Ssm sampling ports and hydraulic test ports for the hydraulic system, engine oil and for coolant. A test connection for the Electronic Technician (ET) is located behind the cab.
The anti-skid "Punched-Star" plate covers top of storage box and upper structure to prevent slipping during maintenance. The plate can be removed for cleaning.
Grease lubricated seals protect the track link and deliver long track link pin and bushing inner wear life.
Engine radiator fan is completely enclosed by fine wire mesh, reducing the risk of an accident.
A concentrated remote greasing block on the boom delivers grease to hard-to-reach locations.
