C7 with ACERTTM Technology ACERTTM Technology works at the point of combustion to optimize engine performance and provide low exhaust emissions to meet U. S. EPA Tier 3 emission regulations, with exceptional performance capabilities and proven reliability. [. . . ] Sealed and lubricated track rollers, carrier rollers, and idlers provide excellent service life, to keep the machine in the field longer. The long (L) undercarriage maximizes stability and lift capacity. This long, wide, and sturdy undercarriage offers a very stable work platform. 8 Booms, Sticks and Bucket Linkages Built for performance and long service life, Caterpillar® booms and sticks are large, welded, box-section structures with thick, multi-plate fabrications in high stress areas. Reach Boom. The reach boom features an optimum design that maximizes digging envelopes with three stick choices: R3. 6B and R2. 95CB Sticks. These sticks have enough capacity for excellent reach and depth in trenching and general construction applications. General Purpose Capacity (GP-C) Buckets. General Purpose Capacity Buckets are best for digging in soft to hard ground with low to moderately abrasive materials. For use in moderately abrasive applications where breakout force and cycle times are critical. Maximizes tip force and improves cycle times in most materials. Heavy duty rock for aggressive bucket loading in highly abrasive application such as shot rock and granite. Features include: · · Thickest wear plates to extend the life of bucket in severe applications Thumb Cat thumbs multiply the capabilities of your excavator. This Highly versatile tool works in conjunction with the bucket to transform an excavator into a versatile material-handling machine. Hammer Cat Hydraulic Hammers are precisely matched to Cat machines for optimum performance in a wide variety of demolition and construction applications. Multi-processor Side wear plated extend further up the side of the bucket for maximum protection in rocky soils Buckets accept sidebar protectors for best sidebar protection, or sidecutters for best fill characteristics and bucket wear protection · Multi-processors do the work of many types of demolition tools by use of interchangeable jaw sets. Changing jaws allows a single unit to crush, pulverize and perform a variety of specialized cutting tasks, such as cutting steel rebar and tanks. 10 Versatility A wide variety of optional factory-installed attachments are available to enhance performance and improve job site management. Single-Function Auxiliary Hydraulics. This circuit utilizes one-way flow action with two pumps and can run tools such as hammers and vibratory plate compactors. This circuit utilizes two-way flow and one pump and is capable of running tools such as a thumb, tilt-bucket or non-rotating grapples or shears. Pin Grabber Plus Hydraulic Pin Grabber Increases versatility of the excavator by allowing the machine to pick up a wide variety of work tools without leaving the cab. An optional Machine Security System is available from the factory on the 324D L. This system controls when the machine can be operated and utilizes specific keys to prevent unauthorized machine use, a significant theft deterrent. The machine is pre-wired to accept Product Link systems to be installed in the field. Product Link is also available as a factory installed attachment. Product Link can assist with Fleet Management that will keep track of hours, location, security and product health. Tool Control System. This system offers the most flexibility and versatility of the auxiliary options offered. This system is available in two configurations, as a stand-alone system or with a medium pressure circuit and third pump. [. . . ] They do not exceed 87% of hydraulic lifting capacity or 75% of tipping capacity. Weight of all lifting accessories must be deducted from the above lifting capacities.
