Front Linkage

The 330C MH Waste Handler front linkage is designed to provide the excellent reach and durability necessary to meet the requirements of transfer station applications.

Heavy-Duty Boom and Stick

The heavy duty reach boom and heavy duty 10.5 ft stick are more robust than the standard reach boom and stick. The "heavy-duty" features include thicker plates throughout the design to handle the increased loading experienced in transfer station applications.

The front linkage has a maximum horizontal reach of 9.4 m (31 ft) and maximum vertical pin height of 8.8 m (29 ft). Thus, the working range of the machine provides an excellent match for loading hauling units from a platform or from level ground.

Welded Box-Section Structures

The boom and stick are designed and built for maximum durability and performance. Efficient design of welded box-section structures with thick, multi-plate fabrications and internal baffle plates in high stress areas maximizes strength and durability provided the loading conditions of transfer stations.

Stress Relieved Boom and Stick

The boom and stick are stress relieved to maximize the strength of the weld joints. The process of stress relieving also allows for the structure weight to be minimized, allowing heavier payload capacity.

Waste Handler Structures

The 330C MH Waste Handler has many structural components that add strength to the machine to improve it's durability.

Heavy-Duty Upper Frame

Box-section reinforcement of the cab outrigger frames support cab risers for improved durability.

Horizontal mounting plate provides more surface area for swing drive and swing bearing mounting bolts to handle increased loading.

The heavy-duty upper frame has many specifically designed features for added strength and improved durability in waste handling applications. It is composed of higher strength material and thicker steel sections to handle the increased loading activity seen in waste transfer stations.

Boom tower double plates add thick steel reinforcements to handle the greater stresses caused by increased loading.

Box-section cylinder mounts allow for improved resistance against increased torsional loads and payloads.

Waste Handler Guarding

The 330C MH Waste Handler is equipped with special guarding, designed specifically for the challenges faced in waste handling applications.

Rubber Bumpers

The rubber bumpers provide much needed guarding to protect the sheet metal of the machine from being damaged while maneuvering in tight areas.

Swivel Guard

The swivel guard, designed specifically for waste applications, protects the swivel from the wrapping of debris. This will allow more uptime through the decrease in maintenance associated with removing video tape and wire from the swivel.

Swing Bearing Guard

The swing bearing guard is a bolt on guard that protects the swing bearing from any damage by shielding it from any potential sources of wrapping such as video tapes and wire. It also prevents packing of debris around the swing bearing.

Falling Object Guards

The optional falling object guard protects the cab and front windshield from debris in transfer stations.

Waste Handling Features

The waste handler has been designed with many benefit adding features to enhance its performance in waste applications.

Trash Resistant Cooling System

A Trash Resistant Cooling arrangement reduces cooling system maintenance and downtime when operating in environments with large amounts of airborne debris such as feeding shredders in scrap applications, waste transfer stations, demolition and forestry applications. This package will also help avoid costly engine and hydraulic repairs and downtime resulting from overheating caused by a plugged cooling system. This arrangement is standard on the 330C L MH Waste Handler and can be ordered as a custom attachment on 330C L excavators.

Trash Resistant Cooling Features

• Debris Filters “ These stainless steel mesh filters trap debris before it enters the house, keeping it out of the radiator and oil cooler. These filters can be easily removed and cleaned. A second set of filters minimizes downtime, allowing the operator to keep working while the first set is cleaned.
• 6 fpi straight fin Oil Cooler and Radiator Cores.
• Flexxaire Automatic Reversing Fan on the radiator.
• Hydraulic Automatic Reversing Fan on the oil cooler.
• Access doors for cleaning the back side or the oil cooler and radiator cores.

Heavier Counterweight

The 330C MH Waste Handler has been outfitted with a counterweight that is 25% heavier than a standard 330CL counterweight for better stability while handling waste.

Cab Riser

The optional 1.2 m (4 ft) cab riser provides for elevated operating height to improve visibility while loading waste into a hauling unit and allows the operator to see over obstructions in the transfer station.

Turbine Precleaner

The standard turbine precleaner helps keep debris away from the cooling system by removing debris from the air intake. The 330C MH Waste Handler is also equipped with the SyKlone Optimax dual stage engine precleaner which purges remaining debris from intake air, providing longer air filter and engine life.

SyKlone Gideon Cab Air Precleaner

This cab air precleaner extends cab air filter life, increases operator comfort by effectively eliminating dust and odor, and keeps evaporator and heater coils clean.

Cab Mounted Beacon

The cab mounted beacon flashes whenever the master disconnect is on.

In-cab Master Disconnect

An additional master disconnect switch is provided in the cab for easier operator access.

Engine and Hydraulics

Caterpillar designed engine and hydraulics work together to give the 330C MH Waste Handler an exceptional combination of speed and power required in waste applications.

C-9 Engine

The Six-cylinder, turbocharged engine is EPA Tier 2 and EU Stage II emissions compliant and is built for power, reliability, and fuel economy

Automatic Engine Speed Control

The two-stage, one-touch control maximizes fuel efficiency and reduces sound levels.

Low Sound, Low Vibration

The C-9 design improves operator comfort by reducing sound and vibration.

HEUI„¢ Fuel System

The HEUI fuel system provides improved emmissions to meet EPA Tier 2 and EU Stage II regulations and lowers fuel consumption.

Hydraulic Cross Sensing System

Improves productivity with faster implement speed and quick, strong pivot turns.

Fine Swing Control

Fine swing contol cushions swing start and stop for better implement control.

Hydraulic Cylinder Snubbers

The hydraulic cylinder snubbers at the rod-end of the boom cylinders and both ends of the stick cylinders cushion shock to improve cylinder life.

Controllability

The hydraulic system offers very precise operator control to reduce fatigue and improve operator efficiency translating into enhanced machine performance and productivity.

Boom and Stick Regeneration Circuit

Boom and stick regeneration circuit increases efficiency and reduces cycle time for higher productivity and lower operating costs.

Work Tools

Mechanical and hydraulic work tools are offered by Caterpillar to maximize machine performance in waste applications.

Trash Grapple

The Cat Work Tools trash grapple has been designed to meet the requirements of waste handling. Powered by the bucket cylinder, the trash grapple mechanically works to compact trash while placing it into the bed of the hauling unit. This helps to maximize the amount of waste that can be placed into one unit, maximizing efficiency.

Sorting Grapple

The Sorting Grapple is hydraulically controlled to facilitate the ease of handling and sorting waste materials. The grapple is 360° rotational to aid in sorting and placing waste in tighter areas. As the grapple is closed, waste is compacted, allowing more waste to be fit into the hauling/processing unit.
