Long hours in the Cat Multi Terrain Loader are made easier by many standard conveniences that include a new 12-volt DC power socket. Side, sliding windows offer protection from the elements and allow fresh air ventilation. Redesigned side windows are removable for easy cleaning. Cabs with the door option installed feature a new, automatic lock-out switch that prevents accidental damage by disabling the loader functions when the door is open.
Operating in extreme temperatures can be more comfortable with the optional cab air conditioner and heater installed. Airflow is increased up to 83 percent and is now directed through six adjustable vents. Twice as many vents makes defrosting the optional front door and side windows easier. The heater and air conditioner can be ordered separately or together.
Cat Multi Terrain Loader instrument panels and gauges are simple, easy to use and reliable. Bright indicator lights and audible warnings signal any critical system situation. Positive feel switches, with status lights, control most on/off functions. An engine air cleaner restriction indicator is now in the cab for easier monitoring.
Operating ease and productivity are enhanced on the Cat Multi Terrain Loader with its excellent visibility. The wide cab opening offers an exceptional view of the work tool. The sloped angle of the engine compartment allows excellent visibility to the rear of the machine. A new, standard convex rearview mirror gives the operator a panoramic view of the machine's rear and sides. For better visibility in low-light conditions, the standard forward lights are now adjustable 10 degrees in any direction.
The Cat Multi Terrain Loader cab is designed to make machine operation simple, productive and comfortable. Getting in and out of the cab is easy through a wide opening with three point grab irons and skid-resistant steps. Tilt cylinders are neatly located under the lift arms so not to interfere with operator access and egress. Plenty of uncluttered floor space makes stepping into the cab even easier.
Several cab packages and options are available. The standard cab offers features such as an adjustable contoured seat, cushioned armbar, dual throttle controls, pilot operated joysticks, 12 volt DC power socket and an optional cup holder.
The rubber track undercarriage transfers machine weight to the ground through 48 wheeled contact points. The machine weight is distributed evenly throughout the track.
The large ground contact area helps maximize traction and minimize ground pressure.
The elevated positive track drive keeps drive components away from ground debris.
The rugged, durable rubber track is lightweight and pliable, yet reinforced with high tensile strength cords.
The undercarriage offers multiple levels of suspension through two torsion axles and six articulating wheel carriages.
The heart of the Cat Multi Terrain Loader power train is the Caterpillar 3044C DIT diesel engine. This rugged, reliable, four cylinder engine offers aggressive performance and a fast torque curve for quick response. It is also a low emission engine, fully U.S. EPA Tier 2 and EU Stage II compliant.
The hand and foot throttles allow the operator to match engine speed to the task. The hand throttle is ideal for jobs requiring consistent engine speed - such as cold planing, trenching or snow blowing. The foot throttle lets the operator vary engine speed and minimize fuel consumption for other tasks such as load and carry, truck loading, grading and dozing.
The anti-stall system on the Cat Multi Terrain Loader allows maximum power to the tracks while minimizing engine stalling. This system helps maximize productivity for experienced operators and makes it easier for novice operators to become productive.
The dual, closed-loop, axial piston hydrostatic pumps are driven directly off the engine. The pumps provide pressure and flow to two fixed displacement motors that power the final drive motors, driving the tracks. No chains are used.
Maximum power and reliability are built into the Cat Multi Terrain Loader hydraulic system. In addition to providing power to drive the tracks, this system also provides the loader lift and tilt functions, powers the auxiliary circuit to drive work tools and drives the engine cooling fan.
The hydraulic pumps are driven directly off the engine for maximum hydraulic performance and reliability - no belts are used. Pumps are fixed-displacement and provide 81 L/min (22 gal/min) at high idle. Maximum system pressure for the loader and the standard auxiliary circuits is 23 000 kPa (3,335 psi). Control of the loader lift and tilt functions is by hydraulically-operated joystick controls for low effort and precise operation.
Standard auxiliary hydraulics to power work tools is available through quick connect hydraulic couplings that are rigidly mounted to the loader arm. The Caterpillar line of high pressure XT™ ES hoses and O-ring face seals help assure a leak-free system.
Hydraulic system reliability and cleanliness are improved by using single components in place of multiple components, such as the monoblock hydraulic valve and monoblock pumps. Fewer leak points improve reliability and result in a cleaner machine. In addition, hydraulic oil flows through a 5-micron spin-on filter. A filter restriction indicator is located in the operator station. A 74-micron screen in the hydraulic tank prevents larger debris from entering the system and causing damage to the hydraulic components.
A high-efficiency, hydraulic oil cooler lets the Cat Multi Terrain Loader work longer and harder in higher ambient temperatures, even when using continuous flow work tools. The high capacity, hydraulic oil reservoir also helps keep operating temperatures lower.
The rear door opens 90 degrees for easy access to both sides of the in-line (lengthwise) mounted engine.
All filters are easily accessible, which makes routine service quicker and virtually spill-free.
The radiator, hydraulic oil cooler and grill tilt up to increase access to the cooling system during maintenance and allow easier cleaning of debris from between the grill and cooling package. The cooling fan is hydraulically-driven for quieter operation and to eliminate the service and maintenance that comes with belt driven fans.
The machine cab can now be tilted rearward by an individual using a single tool. The cab is held in place by a self-latching mechanism. When the cab is tilted back, all hydraulic pumps, motors, valves, lines and fuel tank are accessible for quicker, easier service.
A removable belly pan section in the floor of the machine's lower frame provides excellent access for periodic cleaning.
Cleaner routing of electrical and hydraulic lines compared to former models improves reliability and simplifies service.
Maintenance points are grouped in easily accessible locations.
The scheduled oil sampling valves are standard to allow regular monitoring of the engine and hydraulic oil quality.
