A Cat 336 Next Generation Excavator.

A New Generation Cat 307 mini excavator.

Engines and generator sets A range of industrial engines meeting EU Stage V emission standards will be on display in hall A4, stand 336, including the C2.2, C3.6, and C4.4, as well as the new C13B industrial power unit and the C27. The C7.1 and C9.3B engines will be featured in hall B6. The XQP100 generator set can either meet EU Stage IIIA emission standards or provide low- fuel-consumption performance for customers in non-regulated territories. With a robust, rental-or mobile-ready construction, the product line is designed to be easily transported around project sites safely and efficiently. Heavy-duty bases with integrated fork lift pockets allow the unit to be easily dragged and lifted, while Clipsal or CEE socket options are available on select models to reduce installation time and to provide trouble-free power distribution. Work tools and ground engagement tools Caterpillar is expanding its excavator work tools with the new GC silenced hammers, the TRS23 tiltrotator, as well as the MP332 (mounted on the 340F UHD) and MP345 demolition multi- processors. The new S3050 scrap shear will represent the range of Cat shears. Caterpillar is introducing the Cat Product Link Locator PL161 which tracks the operating hours and location of work tools. From mid-2019, PL161 will be standard on most Cat work tools on excavators from 11 tonnes. Cat Advansys™ is the next generation of Ground Engagement Tools for wheel loaders and excavators and features easy, hammer-less removal and installation, longer tip life, and better penetration for optimum fuel efficiency. A wide range of seven different tip options have been developed to offer the right choice of tips in every application, whether excellent penetration or high abrasion-resistant tips are required. Yellowmark™ Yellowmark, a Caterpillar brand, offers Cat equipment owners an alternative to Cat genuine and Cat reman parts that balance reliability and convenience at a lower cost. The Yellowmark offering now includes more than 6 000 repair and replacement parts, covering drive train, engines, hydraulics, ground engaging tools, and undercarriage for more than 500 Cat models. Yellowmark's capabilities will be on display at bauma Munich. Resources Other highlights include Caterpillar services, such as flexible financing plans; extended-protection options from Cat Financial; Cat Certified Used; Cat Certified Rebuild equipment and Cat rental available through the Cat dealer network. 

hours and location of work tools (see work tools paragraph). This information is available to the owner via a secure website, Cat VisionLink™, which conforms to ISO standards. Also, on display at Bauma Munich will be recent examples of Caterpillar technology that further expand machine connectivity. The new, industry-first Cat App is designed to allow users remote access to telematics data — tracking machine hours, location, receiving diagnostic codes, and managing maintenance directly from their mobile phone without turning on their computer. With the operator ID feature, individual performance can be tracked and training opportunities identified. In addition, users can use their mobile phone as the digital key for starting select Next Generation Cat machines. Also new is a suite of Cat Connect technologies that provides remote equipment diagnostics and software updates. Cat Remote Services includes two key offerings — Remote Troubleshoot (allows dealers to run diagnostic testing and pinpoint potential issues) and Remote Flash (allows dealers to remotely load current versions of on-board software). Paving, compaction & milling The AP555F is a mid-sized, rubber track paver that excels on highways, streets and other urban work sites. The AP555F features advanced, easy-to-use control technology and quick-heating SE50 VT electric screeds that boost productivity of the machine and crew. It features the exclusive Cat Mobil-Trac™ rubber track undercarriage, which delivers high travel speed, excellent flotation, superior traction, and superb mobility. The machine is powered with a quiet and efficient Cat C4.4 ACERT™ engine that provides 142 horsepower (106 kW). A standard Eco-Mode setting, when used with automatic engine-speed control, efficiently manages engine speed for optimum fuel economy and reduced sound levels. The machine used on a wide range of projects, the vibratory soil compactor, is represented at bauma Munich by Cat models CS12 GC, CS44B, and CS66B. All three models can be equipped with Cat Compaction Control, which provides compaction measurement technology and can also provide satellite mapping, which enhances the capabilities of operators, resulting in greater efficiency and more consistent, uniform compaction. Along with the paver and compactors, a PM310 cold planer will be on display. PM 300-Series models are designed for small- to-medium job sites and feature three drum sizes, wheel or track undercarriages, and articulating right-rear leg for right-side flush cutting. Features include advanced controls and system integration, as well as a full range of options. Machine performance is enhanced with Cat System-K rotors, which are designed to produce a smooth, professional finish and to deliver long wear life.
