The models of excavadoras of wheels of the series Cat M300D of six cylinders —M316D, M318D and M322D— have achieved the approval of the customers thank you, according to the company distributor Barloworld Finanzauto, to his performance consolidated and reliable, versatilidad, efficiency of the fuel and costs of operation reduced. These machines offer a more flexible design, greater confort and comfort for the operator and greater ease of service. Besides, the system Cat Product optional Link provides a way to manage these active with greater efficiency.

Like novelty, the models Caterpillar M316D, M318D and M322D incorporate a train of rodaje that contributes a greater versatilidad of configuration, at the same time that conserve the same robustness and stability in the platform of excavation and elevation that the previous train of rodaje atornillable.

Parallel leaf

The new design allows to use a parallel leaf in the leading or rear part, with or without stabilizers, in the extreme of the same. Besides, can install leading stabilizers or backsides in the machines. This versatilidad allows to the customers customise/customize the configuration of the machine to achieve the maximum productivity in the usual applications.

The M316D, M318D and M322D incorporate a train of rodaje that contributes a greater versatilidad of configuration.

Likewise, the parallel leaf has designed to offer a greater rigidity if it uses like stabilizer, what contributes to the stability of the machine in his group. To offer a greater protection, the cover of the cylinder of the leaf is now splits integral of this structure, whereas the point of grease remote has conserved to simplify the maintenance.

Improvements of the cabin

The monitor of the cabin of the models M316D, M318D and M322D has been replaced by which include the excavadoras of chains of the series Cat 300And. To increase the comfort of the operator, the new monitor incorporates a screen a 40 percent greater and with more resolution. Nevertheless, it presents a specific software of the excavadoras of wheels and menus of navigation simplified, what supposes an advantage added. The new monitor allows to control the camera of standard rear vision with buttons of fast access, as well as two optional cameras.

The fast attachment of the fixation also controls from the monitor, whereas an acoustic signal informs to the operator that the attachment is opened. The attachment controls by means of a new valve that offers the same sequence of operation that the machines of chains 300D/And. Now also it is possible to access to the function of blockade of trip by means of a button of fast access situated in the monitor.

Cabins more thought in the operator in the new excavadoras of wheels Cat.

The new module of signpost of right instruments, the same model that used in the machines of chains 300And, integrates now the dial of the rotatory accelerator, what allows to the operator access of intuitive form to the control of the diet of the engine. The switch for buoy giratoria also is situated in the new signpost; it treats of a small change, but reflects the big sutileza of these models.

The improvement of the seat resides in a function of lumbar support for the seat with mechanical suspension and in a new seat Comfort with pneumatic suspension of low frequency that incorporates lumbar support, horizontal suspension with system of blockade, adjust mechanic of height and climatizador passive. This last function avoids that the seat absorb the humidity of the surface of the cushion thanks to a layer of fibre/fiber of carbon situated between the fabric and the foam of the seat. Like result of this, the seat remains continuously dry and increases the general comfort of the operator.

Ease of maintenance and management of fleets

Like part of the new functions to facilitate the maintenance, have diverted the pipes of the refrigerante to allow an access without obstacles to the points of service and has installed a tank of derivación easy to use with a new design of cap and neck of filled. Besides, they use electrical connectors AMP16 for the proportional pilot valves and the hydraulic tank incorporates new sensors of pressure and temperature, as well as a new valve of drainage.

Cat Product Link

An especially important improvement of the models M316D, M318D and M322D is the availability of the optional system Cat Product Link. Product Link allows to control the machine of remote form by means of a powerful system telemétrico that allows to transfer the necessary information to the customer and to the distributor through VisionLink, a safe application based in web.

Can access easily to essential information, like codes of event and diagnostic, and to the statistics of the machine, like the readings of the hours of work, the consumption of fuel and the periods of inactividad. Between the functions of allocation, includes the one of location and geographic perimeter, that facilitate the operations of maintenance and prevent unauthorised/unauthorized uses of the machine.
