This Caterpillar M318C MH is a wheeled excavator — sometimes referred to as a mobile excavator or rubber-tyred digger — a machine type designed for digging, lifting, and material-handling work where the wheeled undercarriage allows road travel and easy repositioning between sites without the need for a low-loader. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised names in heavy construction and industrial machinery, serving sectors ranging from civil engineering and mining to ports, scrap handling, and recycling.
This 2006 machine is configured specifically as a material-handling excavator, with an operating weight of approximately 21,500 kg. Power comes from a six-cylinder Caterpillar engine producing 154 horsepower, providing the output needed for demanding industrial lifting and sorting cycles.
The undercarriage runs on solid rubber tyres, which reduce maintenance compared with pneumatic alternatives and suit the hard-surface environments typical of scrap yards, transfer stations, and industrial yards. Stability during lifting operations is provided by a four-point outrigger support system, which extends to plant the machine firmly on the ground when working.
A hydraulically elevating cab is fitted, a key feature in material-handling applications as it allows the operator to gain height for improved visibility when working with grapples or magnets at elevated stockpiles or loading vehicles.
The working equipment is a long industrial boom arrangement comprising a material-handling boom and a straight stick with cylinder, configured for grapple operation and fitted with a quick coupler for rapid attachment changes. Grapple hydraulic lines are plumbed, and the machine is prepared for electromagnetic operation, with an electromagnet generator also included — making it ready for handling ferrous scrap without additional hydraulic or electrical installation work.
This used machine is located in Austria and is offered in used condition.
