Engine
Built for power, reliability, economy and low emissions.
Performance. The Cat C13 engine with ACERT Technology offers 21% greater displacement than the 3176C, and runs at 10% lower speeds for better fuel economy and reduced wear.
Fuel Consumption. ADEM A4 controller uses sensors throughout the engine to manage engine load and performance. The ADEM A4 controller is the muscle behind engine responsiveness, self- diagnostics, controlling emissions, and fuel economy.
Low Sound and Vibration Levels.
The engine mounts are
a process that reduces engine noise levels and vibration.
Fuel System. The Cat C13 ACERT engine features electronic controls that govern the mechanically actuated unit fuel injection (MEUI) system. MEUI provides the
Cooling System. The 345C L layout separates the cooling system from the engine compartment. The cooling fan is hydraulically driven with a variable speed control that manages fan speed to provide optimized cooling.
Air Cleaner. The radial seal air filter features a
A warning is displayed on the monitor when dust accumulates above a preset level.
Turbocharger. The Cat C13 ACERT engine uses a Wastegate Turbocharger for improved performance.
Cold Weather Starting Kit. The kit consists of four batteries,
Environmentally Responsible Design
Caterpillar machines not only help you build a better world, they help maintain and preserve the fragile environment.
Outstanding performance.
Many features designed to provide outstanding performance which can mean more work done in a day, less fuel consumption and minimal impact on our environment.
Emissions. ACERT Technology is a differentiated technology that reduces emissions at the point of combustion. The technology capitalizes on Caterpillar’s proven leadership in three core engine systems: fuel, air and electronics.
Quiet operation. The hydraulically driven cooling fan is thermostatically controlled, so the fan only runs at the speed necessary to maintain correct system operating temperatures. The result is cool quiet operation with less disturbance to the surrounding environment.
Ozone protection. To help preserve the earth’s ozone layer, the air conditioning unit uses only
Fewer leaks and spills. Engine oil and encapsulated hydraulic oil filters are positioned vertically and are easy to reach to minimize spillage. Service intervals are extended to reduce the times fluids are changed and handled. The new hydraulic oil fine filtration system attachment extends the service interval from 2000 to 5000 hours. Compatible with Cat HEES hydraulic
