Power Train The Cat C7 with ACERTTM Technology gives the 324D FM exceptional power and fuel efficiency unmatched in the industry. 4 ® Hydraulics Forest Machine hydraulic systems are designed to provide reliability, outstanding controllability and proven performance in various forestry applications. 5 Operator Comfort Spacious purpose built forestry cab with excellent sightlines to the work area with 8 lights and all scratch resistant polycarbonate windows. 6 Versatility Designed and purpose-built to meet diverse forestry applications, the 324D FM can help improve productivity in various forestry and millyard applications. [. . . ] Sheet metal supporting structure is improved by integrating the mounting into the upper frame structure. Carbody Design. Advanced, reinforced, purpose-built carbody design stands up in the toughest forest applications. Wide, tall, and thick carbody structure provides operating stability and durability while improving operation's effectiveness. · Upper structure weight and stresses are distributed evenly across the full length of the track roller frame. Smooth transitions and long welds help reduce stresses at the carbodyto-roller frame junctions for excellent durability. Robot welding helps ensure consistent, high-quality welds throughout the manufacturing process. · · Rugged main frame design maximizes durability. · Outer frame utilizes curved side rails, which are di-formed for excellent uniformity and strength. Box-section channels improve upper frame rigidity under the cab. · Inverted U-channels span the width of the main frame and are formed, rather than fabricated, for superior strength and reduced weight. Boom tower and main rails are constructed of solid, high-tensile strength, steel plates. · · 8 Guarding Caterpillar guarding protects your forestry machine investment. Shoe Support Guards. Standard full length track shoe support guards help protect rollers and provide increased rigidity to track links in rough underfoot conditions. Factory Forestry Cab. Caterpillar factory forestry designed and built FOPS cab has options for windshield guard and window guards to meet local guarding requirements. The right side and rear windows are made from impact resistant polycarbonate. Heavy-Duty Access Doors. Heavy-duty access doors are standard on the 324D FM and are made from 6 mm (0. 24 in), high-strength, low alloy steel. Positive locking latch stays closed in forestry applications. Hinges have larger diameter pins over standard doors. The smooth door profile enhances machine appearance. 9 Undercarriage Durable undercarriage absorbs stresses and provides excellent stability. 2) 10% Larger Bushing Diameter. · Extends external bushing wear life 3) Greased Pin and Larger Bushing Combined. · · · Extends system life Reduces sprocket wear because the system stays matched longer Improves balance in component wear life Heavy-Duty Top Rollers. Track rollers with dual supports replace carrier rollers to assure superior endurance. Heavy-Duty Track Rollers. GLL grapple legs are made of highstrength alloy steel with unique leg profiles for maximum performance in picking/sorting, bunching/loading or shoveling applications. Large bunches of stems or single large logs are easily handled by the wide grapple opening 1524 mm (60 inch), while interlocking legs close down to 127 mm (5 inch) for picking and sorting. [. . . ] · 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 required below 2300 m (7500 ft) altitude.
