CAT Hydraulic Excavator 325DL - Manual (Page 10)

Heavy Duty Buckets. Heavy-duty (HD)
buckets are used for a wide range of
moderately abrasive applications such
as mixed dirt, clay and rock. HD buckets
have best loading and dumping
characteristics and will empty easier
in cohesive material. More robust
construction than the GP buckets.
General Purpose Capacity (GP-C)
Buckets. General Purpose Capacity
Buckets are best for digging in soft to
hard ground with low to moderately
abrasive materials.
Heavy-Duty Power (HDP) Buckets.
For use in moderately abrasive
applications where breakout force
and cycle times are critical. Maximizes
tip force and improves cycle times in
most materials.
Heavy Duty Rock Buckets. Heavy-duty
rock for aggressive bucket loading in
highly abrasive application such as shot
rock and granite. Features include:
• Thicker wear plates to extend the
life of bucket in severe applications
• Side wear plated extend further up
the side of the bucket for maximum
protection in rocky soils
• Buckets accept sidebar protectors
for best sidebar protection, or side
cutters for best fill characteristics
and bucket wear protection
Ditch Cleaning (DC) Buckets.
These wide shallow buckets are best
for bank forming, ditch cleaning,
and finishing.
Caterpillar Ground Engaging Tools
(GET). All bucket in the CB/DB Family
utilize the Caterpillar K Series
® GET.
This GET system uses a vertical retainer
that is easier to remove and install than
the Cat J Series pin. The tip shapes
are more aggressive and offer better
penetration than the previous generation
of tips. There are also a variety of side
cutters and sidebar protectors to match
operating conditions.
Vibratory Plate Compactor
Caterpillar ® Vibratory Plate Compactors
provide superior compaction force in
a reliable, low-maintenance package.
These units produce high-power impulses
at a rate of 2,200 impacts per minute.
The forces generated by this vibration
drive soil particles close together for
solid, stable compactions. Whether in
a trench or on a slope, driving sheeting
or posts, Cat Compactors are the
superior choice for any job site’s
compaction tasks.
Multi-processor
Multi-processors do the work of many
types of demolition tools by use of
interchangeable jaw sets. Changing jaws
allows a single unit to crush, pulverize
and perform a variety of specialized
cutting tasks, such as cutting steel
rebar and tanks.
