[. . . ] The Multi-Grapple with unlimited left and right rotation is the ideal tool for stripping, sorting, handling and loading. For the best control in forward and backward grapple mobility, pair the Multi-Grapple with the MH Straight Stick and linkage. · Automatic Travel Mode. Automatically engaged when the travel pedal is depressed this mode provides maximum speed, drawbar pull and best in class fuel efficiency. Product Link, now standard, can assist with Fleet Management to keep track of hours, location, security and product health. This system controls who can operate the machine when, and utilizes specific keys to prevent unauthorized machine use. Joystick Steering. The unique joystick steering option enables an operator to reposition the machine while traveling in first gear by the use of the slider switch on the right joystick. This enables the operator to keep both hands on the joysticks while simultaneously moving the implements and traveling. The operator can do more precise work faster with increased safety around the machine. 11 Environmentally Responsible Design The M318D MH helps build a better world and preserve the fragile environment. Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil. The optional biodegradable hydraulic oil (HEESTM oil) is formulated to provide excellent high-pressure and high-temperature characteristics, and is fully compatible with all hydraulic components. HEES oil is fully decomposed by soil or water microorganisms, providing a more environmentally-sound alternative to mineral-based oils. Cat O-Ring Face Seals, Cat XTTM Hose and hydraulic cylinders are all designed to help prevent fluid leaks that can reduce the machine performance and cause harm to the environment. Working closely with your Caterpillar Dealer can help extend service intervals for engine oil, hydraulic oil, axle oil and coolant. Meaning fewer required fluids and fewer disposals, all adding up to lower operating costs. Fuel Efficiency. The D-Series Wheel Material Handlers are designed for outstanding performance with high fuel efficiency. This means more work done in a day, less fuel consumed and minimal impact on our environment. Low Exhaust Emissions. EPA Tier 3 compliant Cat C6. 6 offers increased performance and reliability while reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Operator and spectator noise levels are extremely low as a result of the new variable speed fan and remote cooling system. 12 Complete Customer Support Cat dealer services help you operate longer with lower costs.
