Milton CAT 316E - Manual (Page 9)

Durability Categories Suitable for Any Situation
Caterpillar offers standard bucket categories for excavators.
Each category is based on intended bucket durability
when used in recommended applications and materials.
Each bucket durability is available as pin-on or can be
used with a quick coupler.
General Duty (GD)
GD buckets are for digging in low-impact, low-abrasion
material such as dirt, loam, and mixed compositions
of dirt and fine gravel.
Severe Duty (SD)
SD buckets are for higher abrasion conditions such as
well shot granite and caliche. Red area on bucket image
illustrates additional protection against wear as compared
to a GD bucket.
Specialty Buckets
In addition to the standard four bucket categories,
specialty bucket styles are available for the 316E, each
with a different purpose:
•
Ditch Cleaning buckets for cleaning ditches, slope
grading, and other finish work.
• Center-Lock Pin Grabber Performance buckets for
maximum digging performance while keeping the
versatility and convenience of a coupler.
• Wide Tip buckets for low impact material where leaving
a smoother floor and minimal spillage are necessary.
Hydraulic Kits
Caterpillar offers field-installed hydraulic kits that are uniquely
designed to integrate Cat Work Tool attachments with Cat
excavators. Hoses and tubes are pre-made, pre-shaped, and
pre-painted to make installation quick and easy.
Comprehensive Product Support
All Cat Work Tools are backed up by a world-wide network
of well-stocked parts depots and highly experienced service
and support personnel.
