Engine and Hydraulics

Caterpillar designed engine and hydraulics work together to give the 320C MH Waste Handler an exceptional combination of speed and power required in waste applications.

3066T Engine

The sixcylinder, turbo charged engine is EPA Tier 2 and EU Stage II emissions compliant and is built for power, reliability, and fuel economy.

Automatic Engine Speed Control

The twostage, onetouch control maximizes fuel efficiency and reduces sound levels.

Low Sound, Low Vibration

The 3066T design improves operator comfort by reducing sound and vibration.

Hydraulic Cross Sensing System

Improves productivity with faster implement speed and quick, strong pivot turns.

Fine Swing Control

Fine swing control cushions swing start and stop for better implement control.

Hydraulic Cylinder Snubbers

The hydraulic cylinder snubbers at the rodend of the boom cylinders and both ends of the stick cylinders cushion shock to improve cylinder life.

Controllability

The hydraulic system offers very precise operator control to reduce fatigue and improve operator efficiency translating into enhanced machine performance and productivity.

Boom and Stick Regeneration Circuit

Boom and stick regeneration circuit increases efficiency and reduces cycle time for higher productivity and lower operating costs.

Operator Comfort

Redesigned interior layout maximizes operator space, provides exceptional comfort and reduces operator fatigue.

Interior Operator Station

The 320C MH operator station is quiet with ergonomic control placement and convenient adjustments, low lever and pedal effort, ergonomic seat design and highly efficient ventilation.

Redesigned Layout

Redesigned cab layout emphasizes simplicity and ease of use. Righthand wall and console provide easy access to all switches, dials and controls.

Travel Controls

A large rubbercovered footrest at the side of the travel pedals allows the foot to easily grip the pedal. The travel lever stroke and force have been enhanced to improve fine controllability, making the machine easier to operate.

Seat

A new seat with a twotone color offers two types of cushions soft and firm for operator comfort. The reclining knob is located at the right side of the seat for easier reclining adjustment.

Console

Redesigned consoles for simplicity and functionality. Both consoles have attached adjustable armrests.

Monitor

New, compact monitor enhances viewing while displaying a variety of easy to read and understand languagebased information.

Waste Handling Features

The waste handler has been designed with many benefit adding features to enhance its performance in waste applications.

Trash Resistant Cooling System

A Trash Resistant Cooling arrangement is now available for the 320CL. This cooling arrangement reduces cooling system maintenance and downtime when operating in environments with large amounts of airborne debris such as feeding shredders in scrap applications, waste transfer stations, demolition and forestry applications. This package will also help avoid costly engine and hydraulic repairs and downtime resulting from overheating caused by a plugged cooling system.

Trash Resistant Cooling Features

1. Debris Filters These stainless steel mesh filters trap debris before it enters the house, keeping it out of the radiator and oil cooler. These filters can be easily removed and cleaned. 2. Flexxaire Automatic Reversing Fan on the Radiator and Oil cooler.

Heavier Counterweight

The 320C MH Waste Handler has been outfitted with a counterweight that is 25 heavier than a standard 320CL counterweight for better stability while handling loads of waste.

Cab Riser

The optional 4 ft 1.2 m cab riser provides for elevated operating height to improve visibility while loading waste into a hauling unit and allows the operator to see over obstructions in the transfer station.

Swing Bearing Guard

The swing bearing guard is a bolt on guard that protects the swing bearing from any damage by shielding it from any potential sources of wrapping such as video tapes and wire. It also prevents packing of debris around the swing bearing.

Falling Object Guard

The optional falling object guard protects the cab and front windshield from debris in transfer stations.

Rubber Bumpers

The rubber bumpers provide much needed guarding to protect the sheet metal of the machine from being damaged while maneuvering in tight areas.
