Milton CAT 365C L - Manual (Page 11)

Front Linkage Attachments. Select the
right combination of front linkage
with your Cat dealer to ensure high
productivity from the very start of
your job. Two types of booms and
six sticks are available, offering a range
of configurations suitable for a wide
variety of applications. The 365C L
offers a large combination of reach and
digging forces for optimum versatility.
Boom Construction. The 365C L booms
have large cross-sections and internal
baffle plates to provide long life
durability. Castings and forgings are
used in critical high-load areas such
as the boom nose, boom foot, and
boom cylinder connection.
Reach Boom. The 7.8m (25ft 7in)
Reach Boom (R), has been designed
to balance the reach, digging force and
bucket capacity required for a wide range
of applications. Four reach sticks are
available for use with the Reach boom.
Mass Excavation Boom. The Mass
Excavation Boom (M) 6.59m (21ft 7in)
is designed to provide maximum
productivity. Two Mass sticks are
available for high digging forces
and increased bucket capacity.
Stick Construction. The 365C L sticks
are made of high-tensile strength steel
using a large box section design with
interior baffle plates and an additional
bottom guard to protect against damage.
All sticks undergo a stress relieving
process for greater durability.
Reach Sticks. Four lengths of reach
sticks are available to suite a variety
of applications. Reach sticks use the
VB-family bucket linkage and buckets.
Mass Sticks. Two mass excavation
sticks are available for higher digging
forces and increased bucket capacity.
Mass sticks use WB-family bucket
linkage and buckets.
Bucket Linkage. Two bucket linkages are
available for the 365C L. Both linkages
are available with or without a lifting
eye on the power link.
• The VB bucket linkage is for use
with the reach sticks and VB-family
buckets.
• The WB bucket linkage is for use
with the mass sticks and WB-family
buckets
Power Link. The new 365C L power
link improves durability, increases
machine-lifting capability in key lifting
positions, and is easier to use compared
to the previous lift bar design.
Linkage Pins. All pins used in 365C L
front linkages have thick chrome plating,
giving them high wear and corrosion
resistance. The large diameter pins
smoothly distribute the shear and bending
loads to help ensure long pin, boom and
stick life.
