Cat MH3250, MH3260 Material Handlers Set New Standard The new Cat MH3250 and MH3260 models deliver high efficiency in demanding material handling applications. Replacing the historical Cat 330D MH and 345 C MH models respectively, the Next Generation MH3250 and MH3260 tracked material handlers boast longer maintenance intervals and improved fuel efficiency to decrease owning and operating costs up to 20 percent. An entirely new cab concept elevates operator comfort throughout the shift to increase productivity. Both models feature new mechanical variable-gauge undercarriages that flexibly improve machine transportation without sacrificing lifting performance. Track gauge retracts to 10-ft. 7-in. to lower transport costs and make moving the material handlers more efficient. When at the yard, gauge extends to 12-ft. 2-in. wide to increase stability and maximize lift capacities.
