Material handler designed for high production
<![CDATA[
Designed specifically for bulk material handling and scrap recycling applications, the new Cat MH3295 material handler from Caterpillar, Peoria, Illinois, is designed for high production, with an operating weight of 219,056 pounds (99 362 kg) and developing 533 net-flywheel horsepower (397 kW). The mainframes and track-roller frames combine with a choice of two heavy-duty front linkages (barge and scrap) and are designed to ensure reliable performance and long-term durability. The MH3295’s powerful hydraulic system is designed for precise, responsive control, and the hydraulic cab-to-ground riser is designed to provide optimum safety for the operator.

The MH3295’s powerful hydraulic system is designed for precise, responsive control, and the hydraulic cab-to-ground riser is designed to provide optimum safety for the operator. Structures The foundation of the MH3295, the carbody—the structure joining the upper to the track roller frames—is both wider and fabricated with thicker plates, resulting in increased load capacity the company says. In like manner, the upper frame uses thicker sections and higher-strength material, with the boom tower featuring double-plate construction to handle increased side loading. High tensile strength steel is used throughout the MH3295’s undercarriage, which features sealed/grease-lubricated chains that incorporate the Cat Positive Pin Retention system to ensure consistent fit between track pins and links. Specially designed track idlers and raised final drives enhance lifting performance and overall stability. Lift capacity is equal…
