Caterpillar has expanded its next-generation material handler lineup to include the Cat MH3032.
Positioned between the MH3026 and MH3040, the MH3032 delivers a balance of performance, durability and efficiency in a 33 U.S. ton (30-metric-ton) design.
With a nearly 49-foot reach (15-meters), the MH3032 offers both drop-nose and straight-stick options for adaptability.
The MH3032 integrates Cat Payload technology, allowing operators to monitor load weights in real time and track tonnage output.
Cat 2D E-fence, included as standard, keeps the arm within a defined work area to enhance operator confidence and protect the machine from damage. A new Swing Assist feature helps reduce operator fatigue by automatically stopping swing motion at a preset point.
“Technologies like these not only help reduce the operator fatigue associated with repetitive tasks but also help improve site safety. Optimized movements also mean incremental improvements to time and fuel consumption,” Vincent Migeotte, senior product and sales consultant, Caterpillar said.
Safety enhancements include a dedicated material handler cab with an in-cab monitor displaying dual external camera views for improved visibility.
The MH3032 shares proven components with the rest of the MH3000 series, ensuring reliability, parts availability and consistent performance.
Powered by a Cat C7.1 engine, the MH3032 meets multiple global emissions standards while offering extended maintenance intervals through long-life filters and a simplified hose and checkpoint system.
By addressing the demands of the 33 U.S. ton (30-metric-ton) class, the MH3032 provides an efficient solution for waste, scrap and recycling applications.
