40 km/h Power-Shuttle Transmission
The 432F comes equipped with 40 km/h Power-Shuttle transmission, improving roading speed and providing better spacing between gear ratios. It utilizes a constant mesh, synchronized, four speed system. The forward/reverse lever on the steering column is placed for easy direction changes on the move, and the gear selection is from the floor mounted shift lever.
Cat Engine
The 432F is available with either the 3054C turbocharged engine that meets Stage II emission regulation EU Directive 97/68/EC or the C4.4 turbocharged after cooled engine that meets Stage IIIA EU emission Directive 2004/26/EC. A choice of power ratings enables the performance of the machine to be matched to customer requirements. All engines are reliable 4 cylinder, 4 stroke direct injection diesel engines equipped with standard glow plug starting for optimum cold weather performance. This provides reliable starting performance down to –18° C. All engines feature a reliable gear driven water pump and a durable poly vee front end auxiliary drive belt that is automatically tensioned for longer life reducing operating costs.
High Ambient Cooling
The 432F is equipped with a High Ambient engine cooling package, allowing the machine to be operated in temperatures up to 50° C.
Air Filter
A dry type axial air cleaner with an integral precleaner and automatic integrated dust ejection system extends the life of the air filter when working in dusty conditions, reducing service time and costs.
Axles and Differential Lock
The heavy duty Cat axles fitted to the 432F have been designed to be used in the most arduous of conditions and the rear axle Differential Lock ensures that traction is maintained in all types of ground conditions.
Dual Brakes
The rear axle is an enclosed design with a wet multi-plate Kevlar braking system. This system is oil immersed and self adjusting, and allows operation in the harshest environments. The system has dual brake pedals for split braking in tight corners.
Auto-shift Transmission (Optional)
The optional auto-shift transmission provides automatic shifting between the five forward and three reverse gears and ensures that the correct gear is selected for the task in hand. Hydraulic clutch pack modulation provides smooth take up providing the operator with a more comfortable drive over all types of terrain. With auto-shift there is no floor mounted shift lever, so the operator has more floor space and better access through the right hand door.
Lock-up Torque Converter (Optional)
If traveling from one site to another is an important part of your daily routine then the optional lock-up torque converter (available on the auto-shift transmission only) will enable you to maintain higher speeds, using less fuel, increasing machine productivity, saving you both time and money.
