Operator Station A technologically advanced cab, featuring joystick controls, provides unmatched comfort and visibility. 4 Steering and Implement Controls Two joysticks offer precise control and unparalleled ease of operation. This advanced technology makes the 120M the most operator-friendly motor grader in the world. 6 Structures, Drawbar, Circle and Moldboard The 120M frame provides a solid working platform, and the DCM delivers service ease and precise blade control for maximum productivity. [. . . ] ACERT Technology enhances overall engine performance while dramatically reducing exhaust emissions. The C6. 6 engine with ACERT Technology uses multiple injection fuel delivery to precisely shape the combustion cycle. Several small ignitions lower combustion chamber temperatures, generates fewer emissions and optimizes fuel combustion. Bottom line: more work output for your fuel cost. Power Management. The 120M Power Management System automatically delivers an additional five horsepower in each forward gear 1st through 4th, and each reverse gear 1st through 3rd. This standard feature optimizes rimpull for all gears by balancing traction, speed and horsepower while conserving fuel. The system limits horsepower in lower gears, which helps reduce wheel slip where traction is limited. With the Variable Horsepower Plus (VHP Plus) option, an additional five-horsepower is delivered in each forward gear 5th through 8th for more power at higher speeds. 12 Hydraulics The 120M electro-hydraulics enable advanced machine controls with precise and predictable movements. Cat ® XTTM Hose. Cat hose technology allows high pressures for maximum power and reduced downtime. Intelligent routing minimizes exposure to damage. Hose clips prevent hose rubbing and excessive vibration for lower owning and operating costs. Hydraulic flow is proportioned to ensure all implements operate simultaneously with little effect on the engine or implement speeds. If demand exceeds pump capacity, all cylinder velocities are reduced by the same ratio. The result is improved productivity in all applications. PPPC valves have different flow rates for the head (red) and rod ends (blue) of the cylinder. This ensures consistent extension and retraction speeds for each cylinder, and gives the operator a consistent and predictable response every time an implement control is moved. Advanced Electro-Hydraulic System. The 120M incorporates a state-of-the-art electro-hydraulic system. This technology is the foundation for revolutionary changes of the machine and implement controls. Advanced joystick controls provide unmatched controllability with precise, predictable hydraulic movements and the reliability you expect from Caterpillar. Blade float is built into the blade lift control valves and is optional for some auxiliary hydraulic functions. The blade float feature allows the blade to move freely under its own weight. By floating both cylinders, the blade can follow the contours of the road when removing snow. [. . . ] The 120M extended service intervals, such as 500-hour engine oil changes and 4000-hour hydraulic oil changes, reduce machine service time and increase availability. Ecology Drains. Conveniently located ecology drains shorten service times and help keep the environment safe by preventing spills. The 120M integrates Cat Messenger, Cat Electronic Technician and S·O·SSM Sampling Ports for easy monitoring and fast troubleshooting, keeping your machine up and running. Product Support.
