CAT Material Handlers

Track Material Handler Highlights:
Four models of tracked material handlers are available from the 35.5 Ton 325D Material Handler to the 92.6 Ton 385C Material Handler. These machines are purpose built for scrap handling and bulk material-handling applications with heavy counterweights, heavy-duty upper frames, wide carbodies and material-handling booms and sticks. Reach varies from 46 feet to 72 feet. Caterpillar's patented Solid State Magnet Control (SSMC) is available on all models with gensets ranging from 20 kW to 40 kW. This provides the versatility to work with orange peel scrap grapples, magnets or clamshells. Both fixed and hydraulic cab risers are available to provide excellent operator visibility of the work area.

  • ACERT™ engines meet Tier III emissions.
  • Heavy-duty upper frame and heavy material handler counterweight provide the stability required for scrap handling and bulk material handling applications.
  • Fixed and hydraulic cab risers provide improved operator visibility of the work area.
  • Caterpillar two-piece material handling fronts provide excellent lift performance and working range.
  • Multiple front options allow the machine to be matched to the requirements of the application.
  • Wide carbodies provide 360-degree lift stability.
  • Caterpillar Solid State Magnet Controller and genset provides trouble-free service.
  • SmartBoom on the 385C MH allows the boom to float upwards as the clamshell bucket or grapple closes, reducing stress on the machine and protects the floor from damage.

Wheel Material Handler Highlights:
Caterpillar's lineup of four wheeled material handlers is ideally suited to scrap sorting and handling and millyard applications. These models range from the 21 Ton M318D MH with a maximum reach of 36 feet to the 36 Ton M325D LMH with a maximum reach of 51 feet. These machines are equipped with hydraulic cab risers to provide excellent operator visibility of the work area. The heavy-duty upper frame and carbody, specially designed material-handling booms and sticks, and heavy counterweight provide robust machines required for these applications. Heavy lift mode boosts lift capability for easy handling of heavy loads.

  • ACERT™ engines meet Tier III emissions.
  • Heavy-duty upper frame and heavy material handler counterweight provide the stability required for scrap handling and bulk material handling applications.
  • Hydraulic cab risers provide improved operator visibility of the work area.
  • Caterpillar two-piece material handling fronts provide excellent lift performance and working range.
  • Multiple front options allow the machine to be matched to the requirements of the application.
  • Heavy Lift mode increases lifting performance to easily move heavy loads.
  • Caterpillar Solid State Magnet Controller and genset provides trouble-free service.
  • SmartBoom allows the boom to float upwards as the clamshell bucket or grapple closes, reducing stress on the machine and protects the floor from damage.
  • Two-speed hydrostatic transmission with creeper speed maximizes machine mobility in any underfoot condition.

Waste Handling Material Handler Highlights:
Caterpillar offers two models of hydraulic excavator Waste Handlers designed and built for transfer station applications. The 320D Waste Handler is matched to a 4.6 cubic yard trash grapple making it an ideal choice for sorting material on the transfer station floor. The 330D Waste Handler is matched to either a 6 cubic yard or 7.5 cubic yard trash grapple and is ideally suited to loading trash onto trucks and railcars. These machines are specifically designed for this application utilizing heavy duty reinforced booms and sticks, additional guarding to protect from debris, debris resistant cooling packages including automatic reversing fans and debris filters, dual stage engine air precleaners and cab air precleaners to provide a clean operator environment.

  • ACERT™ engines meet Tier III emissions.
  • Waste handler guarding protects the hydraulic swivel and swing bearing.
  • Heavy-duty front structures provide longer service life in severe waste handling applications.
  • Rubber bumpers provide guarding to protect the sheet metal of the machine.
  • Trash resistant cooling system reduces cooling system maintenance and increases uptime in environments with large amounts of airborne debris.
  • Dual stage engine air precleaner protects the engine from dust and debris and increases engine life.
  • Cab air precleaner increases operator comfort.
  • Cat® trash grapple is designed to efficiently sort and handle large amounts of waste.
  • Cab risers provide improved operator visibility of the work area.
