Caterpillar has introduced a Cat MH3295 Material Handler – built to deliver a long reach required for barge loading/unloading and large scrapyard applications.
According to Caterpillar , the new MH3295 will feature a dedicated swing pump for smooth, coordinated movement and a wide track undercarriage for optimum stability and performance. Electrohydraulic controls plus advanced Caterpillar technologies help boost productivity on jobs that demand high performance.
“ The new MH3295 Material Handler is based on the rugged and reliable Cat 395 Excavator platform, sharing common service parts, but features a purpose-built design for the demands of large scrapyard and port applications to offer consistent operation ,” said Vincent Migeotte , Senior Global Product Consultant Caterpillar.
“Plus, standard technologies like Swing Assist, Cat Payload and 2D E-fence help operators to work more efficiently and safely. The new design of the MH3295 is about elevating jobsite performance and delivering long-lasting durability and value.”
The new material handler features an 17.6 m (57.7 ft) reach plus two counterweight configurations to meet jobsite conditions. Its wide, 4.8 m (15.7 ft) track gauge retracts to a 4.1 m (13.5 ft) width to simplify transport.
Also, the wide operating track gauge combines with the undercarriage’s 7.2 m (23.6 ft) track length to deliver smooth, stable operation at extended reach.
Its powerful, 405 kW (543 hp) Cat C18 engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.
