Caterpillar’s new MH3040 material handler for scrap and millyard applications boasts up to 25% lower fuel consumption than its predecessor, the model M325D LMH. The 202-horsepower (151-kilowatt) MH3040 also has a 12% faster swing speed and up to 20% lower maintenance costs.
More Uptime
The Cat MH3040 is an 84,940-pound (38,529-kilogram) workhorse with a maximum reach of 50.8 feet (15.49 meters). It features a new heavy-lift mode in addition to its standard full-power and economy modes. Bright LED lights come standard on the machine’s boom, stick, and cab. An optional 20-kilowatt generator provides power for magnet attachments for scrap steel and iron.
A Tier 4 Final Cat C7.1 engine powers the MH3040 and requires no aftertreatment maintenance. It can run on up to B20 biodiesel. All fuel and air filters now have a longer 1,000-hour maintenance interval. The hydraulic oil filters, meanwhile, have a 50% longer service life at 3,000 hours. New anti-drain valves prevent contamination during a filter change. The hydraulic system in the MH3040 now features valve priority to send power where it’s needed.
Smart Cabin Upgrades
The MH3040’s new premium cab comes with an adjustable, heated and ventilated air suspension seat with a headrest. The sound-insulated cab has lower noise levels, as well as greater visibility with smaller pillars and standard rearview and right-hand cameras. A bigger 10-inch (254-millimeter) touchscreen and jog dial let the operator retrieve saved joystick and power mode settings via user ID. Support for Cat Product Link machine status reporting and Remote Flash off-hour updates come standard.
