[. . . ] 345C MH Material Handler ® Engine Engine Model Net Flywheel Power Cat C13 ACERT 257 kW 345 hp ® ® Weights Operating Weight 57 431 kg 126, 615 lb · The 345C MH meets U. S. Tier 3 and EU Stage III exhaust emissions requirements. · Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with fan, air cleaner, muffler, and alternator. · No engine derating needed up to 2300 m (7, 500 ft). · All weights shown are for machines equipped with 750 mm (30") track and 25 kW generator, full fuel tank, and operator. [. . . ] · · · · · · Thicker Carbody Plates. Thicker carbody plates and increased box-section height provide increased weight and load capacities. · 6 Cat Material Handler Hydraulic Systems The 345C MH hydraulic system is designed to handle the specific requirements of the Material Handling Industry. Material Handler Hydraulics. Specifically designed to meet your hydraulic attachment requirements, the grapple open/close circuit works with the other implement circuits to deliver smooth, simultaneous, multi-function control. The rotate circuit provides a separate 43 L/min (11 gpm) gear pump and fully adjustable control valve, which allows this configuration to meet various grapple manufacturer's flow requirements. A separate fixed displacement gear pump is used to provide the hydraulic power to run a 25 kW generator system. Caterpillar 25 kW Solid State Generator Set. Powers magnets up to 1829 mm (72 in) in diameter. A Caterpillar stateof-the-art electronic magnet controller and generator are linked to provide trouble free service. The new controller completely eliminates traditional contactor maintenance and it is supported and warranted through your Cat dealer. The generator is now mounted on the right front corner of the machine upper to improve serviceability. 7 Work Tools Orange Peel Grapples and Walker magnets are offered to maximize performance of the 345C Material Handler. Work Tool Recommendations. The 1. 5 yd3 (1. 15 m3) grapple is recommended for the 18 m (59'0") Material Handler front and the 2. 0 yd3 (1. 53 m3) grapple is recommended for the 16. 5 m (54'2") Material Handler front. When choosing a work tool, please consider the work tool application, the variation of the density of the material to be handled and productivity requirements. Check with your Cat Dealer for more details on specifications, sizes and other work tool types. The 1. 5 yd3 (1. 15 m3) and the 2. 0 yd3 (1. 53 m3) Orange Peel Grapples are available attachments. Walker Scrapmaster Series Scrap Handling Magnet. 1829 mm (72") diameter, cast steel case, alloy steel suspension chain. For use with Cat 16. 5 m (54'2") MH front. 8 Additional Features The 345C MH has been designed with many benefit adding features to enhance the machine's performance in material handling applications. Sealed Greased Track. The 345C MH comes standard with the new grease lubricated track called GLT4. The track links are assembled and sealed with grease to decrease internal bushing wear, reduce travel noise and extend service life lowering operating costs. A New Cab Mounted Magnet System Monitor/Control. Provides system information to the operator through a series of indicators, lights and a rotary selector switch. The indicator lights provide the following information. Magnet "On": Magnet is turned on.
