Characteristics
While it shares several service parts with the Cat 395, the MH3295 has an optimised configuration: a long reach, a dedicated swing pump for smooth and coordinated movement, and a wide-track undercarriage that enhances stability during heavy lifts. Electrohydraulic controls and integrated Caterpillar technologies contribute to more precise machine handling. Standard features such as Swing Assist, Cat Payload, and 2D E-Fence are designed to support safer, more efficient operation on complex jobsites.
The new material handler features an 18 m (59.1 ft) reach plus two counterweight configurations to meet jobsite conditions. Its wide, 4.8 m (15.7 ft) track gauge retracts to a 4.1 m (13.5 ft) width to simplify transport. The wide operating track gauge combines with the undercarriage’s 7.2 m (23.6 ft) track length to deliver smooth, stable operation at extended reach.
Its powerful, 405 kW (543 hp) Cat C18 engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards and offers reliable operation up to 3000 m (9,840 ft) above sea level without derating. Operators can match machine performance to the job at hand using three different power modes to help save fuel. Giving operators control when needed, an advanced electrohydraulic system helps provide an optimum balance of power and efficiency.
SmartBoom technology allows the boom to freely travel up and down without using pump flow, enabling operators to focus on stick and attachment movements. A variety of Cat work tool attachments are available to meet a range of material and density types. Valve priority helps operators direct hydraulic pressure and flow where it is needed.
