Caterpillar announces a range of new cat accessories available for backhoes and mini excavators, increasing the versatility of application of these machines. The new models cover the range of demolition and classification staples, multi-purpose staples for cat Tiltrotators, vibratory compactor plates and cold milling machines.
Expanded Demolition and Sorting Clamps
Expanding the cat Line of demolition and grading grapples, the new G306 and G308 models are specifically designed for 5 to 6 ton and 7 to 10 ton mini hydraulic excavators respectively. These new models excel in waste handling, recycling and heavy material applications where precise material placement is required. With the opening and closing functions controlled by the first auxiliary function of the machine and the rotation head handled by the second, these staples offer fast and productive material handling with 360 degrees of bidirectional rotation.
A slim design makes it easier to get into tight spaces, and material capacities range from 160L (0.21 yards).3) with the G306 at 240 l (0.31 yd).3) for the G308. Vertical perforated shelves offer high wear resistance, positive penetration, good load visibility and easy positioning, while the oversized cylinder with load check valve provides constant clamping force, even when the grapple or the machine is maneuvered. Providing reliable operation with low maintenance intervals, the oscillating bearing features a heavy-duty single-ball, internally driven design. For longer life, the welded base edge design is made of HB500 Brinell equivalent material and a bolt cutting edge (BOCE) of high-strength, abrasion-resistant steel.
A first for cat tilters
The first expansion of hydraulic accessories for the cat The new Tiltrotator (TRS) family of products cat The G206 and G208 multipurpose grapples expand grapple technology in combination with the TRS6 and TRS8 models for 5 to 10 ton mini hydraulic excavators. These models allow for maximum maneuverability with TRS attachments, and an integrated bracket provides minimal travel to optimize the performance of the staple functionality.
Sized as G206 for 5 to 6 ton excavators and G208 for 7 to 10 ton models, these multi-purpose staples offer a maximum clamping force of 14.5 kN (3,260 lbf) and 18.4 kN (4,136 lbf ). respectively. An integrated cylinder load check valve maintains clamp closing pressure without leaks, while the hard-mounted piston accumulator maintains clamp arm closing forces under shifting loads. Optimal routing of integrated bridge lines and hoses protects against damage and dirt infiltration for long-term reliability.
The design of the staple is optimally adapted to the tilt rotation system and the rotation of the TRS allows for quick and easy attachment of the material. To avoid any bending moment in the radial direction, these staples have a welded box structure. With staple arms and arm edges constructed of AR450 steel, the arm offers high abrasion resistance for longer wear in extreme conditions.
Equal performance vibratory compactor plates
caterpillar expand your cat The line of vibrating plate compactors with the new CVP28 and CVP55 models and relaunches its CVP16 and CVP40 compactors with new design improvements. Well suited for compacting soil, sand, gravel and asphalt, the flexibility of compactors offers lower investment and maintenance costs for contractors engaged in residential, commercial and industrial work.
The cat The CVP range is tuned for performance cat machines, covering all backhoes and excavators ranging from cat 302.7 to 313. They offer compaction widths from 304.8 mm (12 in) to 660.4 mm (26 in) and compact areas ranging from 0.19 m2 (2 ft2) up to 0.53 m2 (5.7 ft2) at vibration frequencies of 33.3 to 40 Hz (2,000 to 2,400 vpm). Offering best-in-class performance, optimizing compaction frequency combines with force to drive material particles together for solid, stable compaction.
Its heavy-duty steel frame delivers maximum power to the ground. Rubber mounts isolate vibrations from the compactor mount, minimizing vibration feedback to the rest of the machine. The high efficiency gear hydraulic motor is vibration driven for consistent and reliable power. Design access cutouts are laser cut for easy access to hardware when mounting the top bracket. The compactor is simplified with a standard auxiliary hydraulic system.
Extending the flexibility of the CVP range, pole and plate driver accessories attach to the bottom of the CVP28 for specialist applications. All models can be equipped with a backfill blade to help spread material in the trench before compaction, and a swivel stand rotates 90 degrees in each direction to minimize machine movements.
Milling precision
Designed for small paving jobs in residential and commercial applications, new cat Cold milling machines offer economical restoration of asphalt and concrete surfaces. They effectively mill imperfections before resurfacing and remove deteriorated pavement and traffic lane stripes.
With a working width of 350 mm (13.8 inches) and a maximum milling depth of 120 mm (5 inches), the new PC35 is designed to work with side-scrolling backhoes and 5- to 6-ton hydraulic mini-excavators. the new cat The PC45 replaces the PC404 with a cutting width of 450 mm (17.7 inches) and a cutting depth of 150 mm (6 inches) and is ideal for use with backhoes and extends the compatibility of the planer to hydraulic mini excavators from 7 to 10 tons. .
Cold milling machines come standard with a depth of cut indicator, which gives the operator a quick view of the set depth. Offering constant depth control, milling depth is manually adjusted and locked. Its heavy-duty geared motor provides high torque and efficiency throughout the speed range, while a hydraulic relief valve limits pressure to the motor for increased longevity. Helping to maximize productivity, a standard pressure gauge provides information to the operator to enable ground speed adjustment. Simplifying operation, the PC35 and PC45 reuse existing hammer lines and are equipped with drum center and width indicators.
