User manual CATERPILLAR 385C MH BROCHURE

[. . . ] The 385C Material Handler is available with a choice of two different front lengths. The 17. 2 m (56'6") front with straight boom can be used for barge unloading or scrap handling. Both front options are designed and built by Caterpillar. Stress Relieving Booms and Sticks. Built to maximize strength and minimize structure weight. Efficient Design of Welded Box-section Structures. [. . . ] Sheet metal supporting structure is improved by integrating the mounting into upper frame structure. · · Advanced Carbody Design. · Modified X-shaped box-section carbody provides excellent resistance to torsional bending. When track roller frames are in working position, the lift capacity over-the-side and over-the-front are the same. Robotic welding helps ensure consistent, high-quality welds throughout the manufacturing process. It is built of higher strength material and thicker steel sections to handle the increased swing loads developed with the longer fronts and heavier counterweights used in material handling. · Boom tower doubler plates add reinforcement for increased side loads and payloads. Box-section reinforcement of the cab outrigger frames support cab risers. Box-section cylinder mounts help handle increased torsional loads and payloads. Track Idlers are positioned lower than standard excavator idlers to help better resist tipping over the front. Thicker Carbody Plates. Thicker carbody plates, increased box-section height, and a wider carbody than found on standard excavators provide increased weight and load capacities. · · 6 Cat Material Handler Hydraulic Systems The 385C 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, multifunction control. The rotate circuit, using main pump flow, provides a separate fully adjustable control valve that allows this configuration to meet various grapple manufacturer's flow requirements. A separate fixed displacement piston pump is used to provide the hydraulic power to run an optional 40 kW generator system. A Caterpillar state-ofthe-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. Genset is mounted in the riser for improved protection. Walker Scrapmaster Series Scrap Handling Magnets. The magnets feature cast steel case and alloy steel suspension chain. 7 Additional Features The 385C MH has been designed with many benefit adding features to enhance the machine's performance in material handling applications. Smart Boom. Allows the boom to float upwards as the clamshell bucket or grapple closes. Reverses the engine and coolant fan to remove debris from radiator coils. Allows the operator to optimize the magnet performance for different grades of scrap from within the cab. Sealed Greased Track. The 385C 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. [. . . ] Make detailed comparisons of the machines you are considering before you buy. What are the job requirements, machine attachments and operating hours?Consider the financing options available as well as day-to-day operating costs. · Hearing protection may be needed when operating with an open operating station and cab (when not properly maintained or doors/windows open) for extended periods or in a noisy environment. 385C MH Material Handler specifications 11 Working Ranges
