American company Caterpillar Inc.., also known as CAT - a manufacturer of construction, various agricultural machinery, and mechanisms for the mining industry. The company is also known as a manufacturer of high-quality diesel and gasoline engines. In addition to manufacturing machinery and equipment, Caterpillar provides insurance and financial services. Shares of Caterpillar Inc are traded on the New York Stock Exchange and are included in the calculation of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow Jones). As you know, this is one of the defining indicators of the investment and stock market.

History of development Caterpillar(CAT) is complicated story ups and downs, technical inventions, scientific discoveries and inventions, combined with common sense and purely American practicality. It all started with the production of advanced tractors.

First steam tractors in the late 1890s and early 1900s, they were excessively heavy and simply sank in mud and sand. Benjamin Holt, one of the founders of the new company, tried to solve the problem by increasing the diameter and width of the wheels. In those days, they reached 2.3 meters in height and 1.8 meters in width. The tractor itself also reached enormous dimensions - up to 14 meters wide. However, this further complicated the production of wheeled vehicles.

One option was to lay wooden boards as the tractor moved, but that cost a lot of money and took a lot of time. Holt also thought about the option of covering the wheel with boards. As a result, the decision arose to replace the traditional wheeled chassis with a caterpillar track with wooden tracks. Its component parts were fastened with iron chains.

In 1904 new design successfully passed the test. Photographer Charlie Clements compared new tractor with a crawling caterpillar. The comparison pleased Holt, and the tractor was named Caterpillar (caterpillar). Since then, the triumphal procession began caterpillar tractors. Later on tracked chassis began to install other equipment - cranes, excavators, drilling rigs. Of great importance for the development of technology was the creation military equipment on caterpillar tracks - artillery tractors, tanks and self-propelled guns.

At the present stage of development, Caterpillar has factories for the production of construction and warehouse equipment all over the world, including in Russia - in the city of Tosno, not far from St. Petersburg. But mechanical engineering is not the only area of activity of the company. It is known as a major financial player, energy and construction corporation. Caterpillar forklifts are one of the important, but not defining areas of the corporation's activity. Although this does not detract from the quality of the machines produced. The reputation of the company is so high that it is simply impossible to produce low-quality equipment.

Caterpillar forklifts

One of the most important characteristics Caterpillar forklifts are low operating costs. This is due to the use of a non-clogging cooling system for all diesel and gas models of Caterpillar forklifts, maintaining optimal engine temperature, which guarantees a long service life and lower maintenance costs for Caterpillar forklifts.

One factor in reducing maintenance effort is the high position of the air intakes in the overhead guard. Conveniently positioned lubrication points ensure durability under the toughest and most demanding operating conditions.
Smart design ensures long life of Caterpillar lift trucks. Service intervals for almost all loader models are within 500 hours.

A striking example of the quality and reliability of the corporation's products is the Caterpillar DP35NT forklift. Forklift trucks The DP series from CAT® are diesel powered machines. Their carrying capacity lies in the range from 2.0 to 3.5 tons. The letter combination NT means in itself high level reliability, safety, performance and ergonomics.

Thanks to novelty constructive solutions these machines have a low center of gravity. This ensures stability and stable performance at high lift heights. The loader mast is equipped with narrow profile shelves, which gives the operator good visibility. The features of the device for damping shocks and jerks of the mast make it possible to work confidently with the load.
The thoughtful design of this loader model and, in particular, the operator's cab create all the necessary conditions for comfortable and productive work.

It has a lifting capacity of 1.5 tons, equipped with a simplex two-stage mast, automatic transmission And hydraulic brakes. The two-section hydraulic distributor allows you to work when lifting and lowering the load very smoothly, without jerks and shocks. The loader is equipped with a 24 kW diesel engine.

The intensive development of the company also affected Caterpillar forklifts. New the lineup includes both machines with DVZ and loaders with electric drive. One of this series is the Caterpillar EP16N electric loader. This is a representative of electric machines with a load capacity of 1.6 to 2 tons. They are installed on them rechargeable batteries power of 48 volts. They are available in three- and four-wheel versions, thanks to which they have increased maneuverability.

The electrical wiring of the machines is made according to latest technology alternating current, which makes them capable of performing many work cycles in short periods of time. This Caterpillar forklift is designed in such a way that access to the main components is as simple as possible. This reduces the time for maintenance, both scheduled and unscheduled.

The weight of loaders of this series ranges from 3 tons, which, with a low center of gravity, determines its high stability. Maneuverability is determined by a turning radius within 1.9 meters, which allows you to work in narrow aisles and cargo compartments of vehicles.

Backhoe loader - separate view technique that combines the characteristics of conventional wheeled excavator with front loader capabilities. The machines have a wide range of applications due to their versatility and advanced features. One of the advantages of backhoe loaders is maneuverability and relatively small dimensions. Of course, due to the combination of multidirectional capabilities, some indicators suffer. Nevertheless, backhoe loaders are a popular and productive type of equipment for construction of any level.

The Caterpillar 428E backhoe loader belongs to the middle class of equipment. This universal machine for earthmoving and municipal works, civil and road construction. The CAT brand itself is a recognized leader in the design and construction of heavy equipment special purpose. Buying a product of this brand, you can be sure of its quality, reliability and no need for expensive repairs for long term services.

Backhoe loader Caterpillar 428E: specifications

Today, CAT's E-series has been replaced by the new F-series backhoe loaders. Nevertheless, the 428E remains interesting for users of all levels. At one time, the series replaced the previous one and offered the buyer a 10% increase in breakout force on the bucket. A more advanced design of the loader compared to its predecessor has increased the productivity of the machine.

The CAT 428E backhoe loader uses a fundamentally new type of hydraulic system. Now the user has the opportunity to regulate the flow working fluid for creating optimal pressure. Flow sharing and controlled load were the main reasons for the improved performance. To bring the mechanics in line with the new hydraulics, the manufacturer changed the geometry of the linkages and achieved the optimal combination of machine qualities.

Caterpillar 428E backhoe loaders were supplied in several configurations:

with additional installation of a steering system for all wheels;
with the optional installation of the AccuRade system to ensure that accurate trenching depth and slope are maintained during the operation;
loaders with mechanical control to reduce the cost of purchasing new equipment. Such machines were developed specifically for work in areas with harsh climatic conditions.

Each CAT 428E model can develop transport speed 40 km / h, which allows you to quickly transfer cars from one object to another without involving lifting mechanisms and cargo transportation equipment.

Currently, the most popular type of special equipment are backhoe loaders. Their popularity is due to the fact that they are able to perform much more various works, than any other equipment, as there is a front bucket and rear excavation equipment. Moreover, compared with the same excavators and front loaders, this species has excellent maneuverability and compactness, which allows you to do any work in conditions with a small working space.

Description and features

Almost every brand has such machines in its line. One of the earliest manufacturers to start mass production backhoe loaders is american caterpillar, whose first machine was introduced in 1985. From then until our time, technology has improved many times. So, the modern Caterpillar 428 has a hydromechanical transmission, a powerful power plant, a reliable hydraulic system with a closed center and additional hydraulic adjustment functions. Was designed this model based on the tractor of the same name. The Cat 428 itself served as the basis for many other similar machines. Thanks to its versatility, optional multi-purpose attachments, great mobility and all-wheel drive, this backhoe loader is ideal for a wide range of different tasks.

Caterpillar 428 came out pretty fast. Its maximum speed, developed during independent movement, reaches 40 kilometers per hour, which allows the technique to reach not too distant objects in a very short period of time. However, its transportation over long distances is carried out using a special trawl.

As described above, this model uses an all-wheel drive scheme. This arrangement is found in almost all modern machines produced by this manufacturer. But the main difference of this model is advanced system, allowing you to control the smoothness of the ride. This was applied in order to prevent the machine from rocking and to compensate for shocks that occur during loading operations or when traveling over rough terrain. Brake system equipment has high-quality and reliable brake mechanisms installed on all wheels, which ensures high efficiency when braking.

The Cat 428 hydraulic system includes hydraulic valves responsible for flow control hydraulic oil. Thanks to this, an optimal ratio of work to the applied load was achieved. The design of the backhoe loader was modernized, which made it possible to increase the initial moment in the bucket breakaway process by 10 percent.

The cab of the excavator has increased level comfort and safety. The basic equipment is equipped with air conditioning and a well-thought-out ventilation system, thanks to which the operator can work in fairly favorable conditions, regardless of factors. environment. Only high-quality finishing materials are used, as well as soundproof and vibration-absorbing ones, due to which it was possible to significantly reduce the level extraneous noise and vibrations that occur both during movement and in the work process. Excellent all-round visibility opens from the operator's workplace, and all attachment controls are located as ergonomically as possible, which provides additional convenience when operating this equipment. It is worth noting that the control levers have received an improved shape, resulting in less effort required by the operator. Key Feature Caterpillar 428 backhoe loader is equipped with a modern Accu Grade system, thanks to which the operator can control the angle and depth of ditches and trenches being cut through, as well as additional attachments.

In the basic configuration, the equipment is equipped with a bucket with a backhoe, a multi-purpose hydraulic loading bucket and a telescopic boom with the possibility of extending the handle. Optionally, the following attachments can be installed on the machine:

Vibratory plate designed for compaction of loose soils.
hydraulic jackhammer used in dismantling works, as well as for loosening solid masses of soil and rocks.
Auger drilling units designed for drilling wells of various depths and diameters.
Planning equipment designed for laying asphalt or concrete pavements.

Another important advantage of this model is the ease of maintenance and repair. The hood of the car came out quite large, so that the service personnel have full access to all the most important elements and nodes power unit. It is also necessary to highlight high angle swivel base, the ability to move in a crab move, the track-to-track mode (in which all wheels turn in different sides). All this provides the technique with excellent maneuverability, which in turn allows you to perform any work in rather cramped conditions. This is precisely the reason for the leading position of the model in the global market for special equipment.

Other features of this machine are as follows:

The boom has a curved shape, thanks to which the reach area during loading and unloading operations has been significantly increased in comparison with other models.
Technique has cross-country ability, which allows you to move on loose soils, viscous and slippery surfaces and over rough terrain, as well as work in places difficult for other equipment. This is due to the connected all-wheel drive and efficient braking system.
There is a modern satellite system Product Link, which allows you to track both the movement of equipment and its current location.

But besides the advantages, Kat 428 also has some disadvantages, namely this:

In the basic configuration, there is no possibility of turning the rear wheels, so the machine is turned only by the front. But this disadvantage can be compensated by the additional installation of an all-wheel steering system.
The installed engine is quite demanding on the quality of diesel fuel. Due to low-quality fuel, its uneven operation is observed. This is usually corrected by installing additional fuel filters.
The ground clearance under the frame is not large enough, which can cause various damage when overcoming any obstacles.
Wheel mudguards are not designed to last a long time.

But, despite this, this model has quite a lot positive feedback owners. As they say, even after the release of a significantly improved modification, the Caterpillar 428 is in very high demand, both among new special equipment and used ones.

Purpose

The Caterpillar 428 backhoe loader is used in construction, industrial sectors, utilities, and, well, in road repair work.
