A functional solution for ensuring safe operation of knuckle boob cranes, mounted on trucks, depending on the extent of stabilizers at anytime, through the working area.

C18 ACERT Marine Propulsion Engine fully complies with IMO Tier II and EPA Tier III Emission standards, with continuous power 454bHP (339bKW) to 1136bHP (847bKW) as a high performance rated engine. The aftercooler water circuit and the jacket water cooling circuit are now two separate cooling systems.  The former Titanium plate cooler of the engine’s jacket water has been replaced with a tube type cooler while an additional tube type cooler has been added for the aftercooler circuit. This design eliminates sea water circulation inside the engine and therefore reduces corrosion, maintenance cost and in general improves the reliability of the engine.

Standard equipment includes two separate expansion tanks for both aftercooler circuit and jacket water circuit. The advanced sea water pump features a metal impeller and increased water tightness. New C18 ACERT Marine engines include a new electric starting motor with increased durability and reliability while air filters are heavy duty type. In addition, the alternator belt is now available with automatic tensioning which eliminates the need for adjustments during service intervals.

The new C32 ACERT marine propulsion engine has been updated by redesigning its cooling system. Through innovative changes, the engine now complies with the most strict emission regulations, EPA Tier 3 and IMO Tier II.

The updated engine is equipped with two separate cooling circuits, one for the aftercooler and one for the jacket water cooler. Only fresh water circulates through these two cooling circuits. The former titanium sheet cooler has been replaced by a tube type cooler while an additional tube type cooler has been added so as to cool the fresh water that now circulates the aftercooler circuit. The advantage of this design is the absence of sea water inside the engine, which reduces corrosion, maintenance cost and achieves higher engine reliability. The specific arrangement is available for engines rated from 660BHP to 1450BHP.

As in previous generations and for specific ratings only, the engines maintain the ability to produce their nominal power through an operating speed window of 85% to 100%.

Finally the updated engine includes an electronic protection system that prevents high inlet and exhaust manifold temperatures. The control system is based on parallel monitoring of the circulating water temperature of the aftercooler and the environment temperature. The aim is to improve reliability and of course longevity of the engine, irrespective of operating conditions.

The continuous development of CAT-driven increase in performance combined with reduced operating and maintenance costs continues.

CAT machines are constantly updated with new models for the category of "small" and therefore correspondingly the need for training for our Sales team.

In CAT's factory for backhoe loaders, excavators and mini loaders in Leicester, England, a 3-day seminar was held in February, which included presentations of new machinery from specialized by category representatives from CAT.

Specifically new models for small excavators, small wheeled and tracked loaders, backhoe loaders and telehandlers were presented.
