432 Backhoe Loader
DESCRIPTION
The Cat® 432 Backhoe Loader is built for different applications, economic profiles, affordability and machine utilization.New machines, original DNA – The first Cat® backhoe loader hit the road in 1985. The machine was co-developed by a team of designers in Illinois, U.S. and a manufacturing team in Desford, UK. The machines are still designed by experts to meet the needs of today’s operators. Every model provides reliability, power and a top-quality operator environment to see you through the toughest projects. The latest backhoe loader range is crafted from 35 years of passion, expertise and experience.C3.6 STAGE V ENGINE
The Cat® C3.6 engine meets EU Stage V emission standards while delivering up to a 10% fuel efficiency improvement compared to the previous model. The aftertreatment system is completely maintenance free with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) and fit for life Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system.
OPTIMAL OPERATOR COMFORT AND CONTROL
Electro-Hydraulic (EH) Seat Mounted Controls offer the ultimate in comfort and control for operators. The loader or excavator can be operated from any seated position, even while sitting offset to help improve productivity and performance all in a safe and efficient manner. The Electro Hydraulic solution also offers operators the ability to speed up or slow down the hydraulics to match machine performance to either their preference or the job at hand.
INTERACTIVE DISPLAY SCREENS
The choice of either a soft key or touchscreen display screen gives the operator information at the touch of their fingertips. Many customizable features including hoe response rate and modulation are now offered. Machine Security Software is embedded into the display screen as well as notifications on service intervals.
POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION
A 4-speed powershift transmission comes as standard on the 432. Improved operator comfort and reduced fatigue is achieved by operation through the directional control lever, rather than floor mounted lever, to shift gears. The 6-speed automatic shift transmission is available as an option, providing greater efficiency by ensuring that the correct gear is always selected. The Lock-up Torque Converter option is ideal for those who do a lot of roading as it can give up to 15% fuel efficiency savings on the road and maintain travel speed in hilly environments.
EXCAVATOR STYLE BOOM
Whether close-up truck loading or digging over obstacles, the iconic excavator-style boom tackles the toughest jobs with ease. Combine this versatility with powerful breakout forces, controllability, a powerful hydraulic system and the 432 is capable of high levels of productivity with minimum effort. The boom is a narrow design, ensuring maximum visibility to the attachment and ground. The hoe comes with the choice of either a 4.3 m or 4.9 m stick option.
POWERFUL AND EFFICIENT HYDRAULICS
The load sensing hydraulic system coupled with a variable displacement piston pump deliver powerful hydraulics when the operator really requires it.
POWER MANAGEMENT MODES
Three power management modes are available: Eco, Standard and Standard Plus. Depending upon application or performance needs, the operator can select the mode that gives optimum results. Eco mode limits both pump flow and engine speed giving higher fuel saving benefits whereas Standard Plus gives maximum pump flow and engine speed, providing increased power and performance where needed.
PRODUCT LINK™
Product Link™ comes as standard on the Cat backhoe loader. Many features exist through Product Link including fuel burn and location allowing the owner to access all data to help increase productivity.
