A Cat G308 demolition and arranging grapple for mini excavators.
Caterpillar revealed a series of brand-new Cat accessories available for backhoe loaders and mini excavators, increasing application adaptability for these devices.
Rugged and trusted, the brand-new designs cover the series of demolition and arranging grapples, multipurpose grapples for Cat Tiltrotators, vibratory compactor plates and cold planers.
Expanded Demolition, Sorting Grapples
Expanding the Cat demolition and arranging grapple line, the brand-new G306 and G308 designs are particularly created for 5- to 6-ton and 7- to 10-ton mini hydraulic excavators respectively. These brand-new designs master waste, recycling and sturdy product dealing with applications where accurate product positioning is needed. With open and close functions managed by the maker’s very first auxiliary function and rotation head managed by the 2nd, these grapples provide quick and efficient product managing with 360-degrees of bidirectional rotation, according to the producer.
A slim style makes it simpler to enter into tight areas, and product capabilities vary from 0.21 cu. yd. with the G306 to 0.31 cu. yd. for the G308. Vertical perforated racks use high wear resistance, favorable penetration, good load exposure and simple positioning, while the large sturdy cylinder with load holding valve provides consistent securing force, even when navigating the grapple or maker.
Providing trusted operation with low upkeep periods, the swing bearing includes a single-ball sturdy, internally driven style. For longer life, the weld-on base edge style is made from HB500 Brinell comparable product and bolt-on cutting edge (BOCE) from high-strength, abrasion-resistant steel.
A First for Cat Tiltrotators
The initially hydraulic accessory growth for the Cat Tiltrotator (TRS) item family, the brand-new Cat G206 and G208 multi-purpose grapples broadens the grapple innovation in mix with the TRS6 and TRS8 designs for 5- to 10-ton mini hydraulic excavators. These designs permit optimal maneuverability with TRS accessories, and an incorporated bracket supplies very little balanced out to enhance efficiency of grapple performance.
With the G206 sized for 5- to 6-ton excavators and the G208 for 7- to 10-ton designs, these multi-purpose grapples provide 14.5-kN (3,260-lbf) and 18.4-kN (4,136-lbf) optimum closing force respectively. An incorporated cylinder load holding valve preserves grapple closing pressure without any leak, while the hard-mounted piston accumulator preserves grapple arm closing forces with moving loads.
Optimal routing of the incorporated jumper lines and tubes safeguards versus damage and dirt seepage for long-lasting dependability.
The grapple style is efficiently matched to the tilt turn system, and the rotation of the TRS enables fast and simple product engagement. To prevent any flexing torques in radial instructions, these grapples function a bonded box structure. With grapple arms and arm edges constructed with AR450 steel, the arm provides high abrasion resistance for longer wear in severe conditions.
Performance-Matched Vibratory Compactor Plates
Caterpillar broadens its Cat vibratory plate compactor line with the brand-new CVP28 and CVP55 designs and relaunches its CVP16 and CVP40 compactors with brand-new style improvements. Well fit for the compaction of soil, sand, gravel and asphalt, the compactors’ versatility provides lower financial investment and upkeep expenses for professionals taking part in property, industrial and commercial work.
The Cat CVP variety is performance-matched to Cat devices, covering all backhoe loaders and excavators varying from the Cat 302.7 to the 313. They use compaction widths from 12 in. to 26 in. and compact locations varying from 2 sq. ft. to 5.7 sq. ft. at vibration frequencies from 33.3 to 40 Hz (2,000 to 2,400 vpm). Delivering best-in-class efficiency, enhance compaction frequency integrates with force to drive product particles close together for strong, steady compaction, according to the producer.
Their sturdy steel frame provides optimal power to the ground. Rubber installs isolate vibrations from the compactor accessory, lessening vibration feedback to the remainder of the maker. The high performance gear-type hydro motor is vibration driven for constant, trusted power. The style’s gain access to cutouts are laser cut for simple access to hardware when installing the leading bracket. The compactor is streamlined with basic auxiliary hydraulics.
Expanding the versatility of the CVP variety, post and plate driver accessories bolt to the bottom of the CVP28 for specialized applications. All designs can be geared up with a backfill blade to help expand product in the ditch prior to compaction, and a swivel install turns 90 degrees in each instructions to decrease maker motions.
Milling Precision

Designed for little paving jobs in property and industrial applications, brand-new Cat cold planers provide affordable remediation of asphalt and concrete surface areas. They effectively mill flaws prior to resurfacing and get rid of scrubby pavement and traffic lane stripes.
Offering a working width of 13.8 in. and 5-in. optimum milling depth, the brand-new PC35 is created for operation with side-shift backhoe loaders and 5- to 6-ton mini hydraulic excavators. The brand-new Cat PC45 changes the PC404 with its 17.7-in. cutting width and 6-in. cutting depth and is perfect for usage with backhoe loaders and extends the planer’s compatibility to 7- to 10-ton mini hydraulic excavators.
The cold planers come basic with a cut depth indication, providing the operator a fast view of set depth. Delivering constant depth control, milling depth is by hand changed and secured. Their sturdy equipment motor supplies high torque and performance throughout the speed variety, while a hydraulic relief valve limitations pressure to the motor for increased durability.
Helping to make the most of efficiency, a basic pressure gauge supplies feedback to the operator to enable ground speed modifications. Simplifying operation, the PC35 and PC45 reuse existing hammer lines and are geared up with drum center and width signs.
