Booms, Sticks and Working Tools
Optional retrofit boom nose and demolition sticks for demolition at lower heights or normal digging truly make this a versatile machine for your job site. Caterpillar demolition tools are built to optimize the excavator/tool system.
Demolition Sticks
Purpose built demolition sticks match the short boom nose.
  • additional internal reinforcements to support mechanical shears or thumb buckets
  • heavier plates
  • 12 mm (0.47") bottom wear plate
  • through hardened bores
Two Piece Main Boom
Two piece main boom with pin-mounted joint between boom foot and boom nose.
Electronic Warning Device
An electronic warning device signals the operator when the main boom gets out of the recommended working range.
Retrofit Capability
Retrofit capability with short 2-position boom nose on boom foot for clean-up, demolition (hammer use) and digging. This adds to the machine's extreme versatility by allowing the retrofit boom nose to be mounted in a straight (demolition) or bent (digging) position.
Special Stand
Special stand to support long boom or short retrofit boom when changing configuration.
Lowering Control Devices
Lowering control devices are installed on all boom and stick cylinders.
Work Tools
Choose from a variety of Caterpillar work tools such as concrete crushers and pulverizers, steel shears, demolition grapples, hydraulic hammers, quick couplers, and multi-processors.
Undercarriage
Caterpillar excavator undercarriage is stable, durable and low maintenance. Optional heavy-duty hydraulic variable undercarriage allows usage of heavier demolition tools.
The L Undercarriage
The L Undercarriage provides a stable and rugged working platform for demolition.
Track Guiding Guards
Full length track guiding guards complete the machine's guarding package.
Optional Hydraulic Adjustable Undercarriage
The optional hydraulic adjustable undercarriage increases the stability by lowering the center of gravity of the machine, resulting in the usage of a bigger tool. The non-bolt joint allows changing from shipping to working width or reverse in less than a minute.
Operator Station
Roomy, quiet, automatically climate controlled cab has excellent sightlines to the work tool to help keep operator fatigue low and production up throughout the entire shift.
Ergonomic Control Placement
This operator work station is quiet with ergonomic control placement and convenient adjustments, low lever and pedal effort, ergonomic seat design, and highly efficient ventilation. The result is a cab that puts the operator firmly and comfortably in control to enhance productivity.
High Visibility Cab
High visibility cab with the front window made out of laminated safety glass. For enhanced upward visibility, the top window extends completely to the front. The front window is one-piece and flat with top and bottom mounted wipers. The upper left side door window can slide open. The lower window provides visibility to the tracks and to the ground next to the machine. The rear window offers a good view behind and to the left, aided by a lower hood profile.
Falling Object Guard
Falling object guard on the top and front is standard. Crossbars of top guard are angled in line with sight for enhanced visibility to the tool.
Hydraulically tilting cab support
Hydraulically tilting cab support allows the cab to be tilted back from 0 to 15 degrees to further improve upward visibility. This optional equipment allows the operator to adopt a more comfortable body postition. The tiltable cab support platform, which is operated via a key switch, is a 30 cm (12") high insert between skirt and cab. It also moves the cab 20 cm (8") forward to create the space for a tilt angle of 15 degrees.
