420E/420E IT Features World-Class Cab Standard air suspension seat, extra legroom and more visibility make you feel comfortable – for a safer, more productive work day. Easy Joystick Control Ergonomic joystick controls provide smooth operation and low operator effort. Improved Power Train Top travel speed of 25 mph/40 km/h so you can get on and off the site faster. More Work Tools Do more jobs with one machine. The thumb lets you grip, grab and sort virtually any material. Contents Operator Station........
Operator Station Comfort, visibility and style. Experience a whole new level of comfort with the spacious E-Series operator station. The ergonomic, automotive style enhances the operator environment. A narrow front dash provides excellent visibility to the front bucket. Reduced vibration keeps operator fatigue low. In-cab storage compartment and lockable tool and battery box provides ample space for tools and belongings.
Hydraulics Load-sensing system matches power to demand. The 420E has a load-sensing, closed center hydraulic system, which closely matches power and flow to the demand needed by the implements. So whether you’re in full trenching mode, or delicately digging around services, you are in control. In applications such as production trenching, speed is important and the system will match the flow needed to get the job done quickly and efficiently.
Power Train Built for performance, power, reliability and fuel efficiency. Cat Engine The 420E features the Cat® C4.4 DIT (Direct Injection Turbocharged) engine with ACERT® technology and meets all U.S EPA Tier 3/EU Stage IIIa emissions requirements. The increased horsepower and torque rise deliver improved loading and roading performance. • Electronic engine control provides precise fuel metering for optimized power, response and fuel efficiency.
Loader Choice of loader linkage to meet your needs. Caterpillar offers a choice of single tilt or integrated toolcarrier (IT) loader linkage to suit your application requirements. The IT loader controls provide single lever proportional control and fine modulation of the hydraulic work tools. A thumb roller operates auxiliary hydraulic functions such as the multi purpose bucket on the IT machines.
Backhoe Boom and stick designed for high performance and easy service. The E-Series backhoe delivers industry-leading digging forces. Serrated edges on the stick provide improved material clamping for clearing and demolition applications. The single pin bucket linkage contributes to best-in-class rotation of 205 degrees for all applications. E-Stick Design The optional extendible stick (E-stick) increases reach and dig depth by approximately 1.2 meters (4 feet).
Serviceability Easy access and minimal maintenance requirements maximize uptime. Convenient service features make maintenance easy, reducing your downtime. Customer Support Makes the difference. Your Cat dealer is ready to assist you with your purchase decision and everything after. • Financing packages are flexible to meet your needs. • Your Cat dealer can evaluate the cost to repair, rebuild and replace your machine, so you can make the right choice.
Technology Products Advanced technologies improve productivity and simplify serviceability. AccuGrade™ System The AccuGrade system for backhoe loaders improves digging accuracy and site safety by eliminating the need for manual grade measuring. Both the Site and Laser Reference Systems save time and money in a variety of digging and trenching applications. Site Reference System The Site Reference System allows the operator to excavate to pre-determined coordinates.
Work Tools Do more jobs with one machine. Backhoe Work Tools A large selection of backhoe tools – including a new hydraulic thumb – gives you the flexibility to serve more customers, more profitably.
