Air Conditioning System
- Air Conditioning
- The air conditioning system on this machine contains the fluorinated greenhouse gas refrigerant R134a (Global Warming Potential = 1430). The system contains 1.3 kg of refrigerant which has a CO2 equivalent of 1.859 metric tons.
BUILT TO PERFORM
- 18 ton (40,000 lb.) lift capacity with side boom.
- Easy transport width at 3240 mm (128 in).
- More robust fuel system with advanced filtration to better withstand poor fuel conditions (engines equivalent to Tier 3/Stage IIIA).
- Cold weather package provides added features for cab comfort and more reliable engine starting/performance in cold environments.
OPERATOR COMFORT AND CONTROL
- Hystat transmission, faster steering response for superior maneuverability on the pipeline.
- Choice of narrow or wide tracks to optimize for job site ground conditions.
- Durability in rough terrain with heavy duty undercarriage.
- Ergonomically designed right joystick places all boom, hook and counterweight function conveniently in one hand.
- Comfortable cab with air suspension seat, ergonomic controls and excellent visibility.
- Improved heating/ventilation/air conditioning system that better circulates around the operator using a canopy machine.
TOP-TIER SERVICE AND SUPPORT
- Worldwide Cat dealer network understands pipeline job site needs for outstanding support, even in remote areas.
- Purpose-built pipelayer gives you a single source for parts and service on all components.
- Easy access to grouped maintenance and diagnostic points.
