434F2 Caterpillar 434F2 Specifications & Technical Data (2017—2020)

434F2 Features

ECO Mode A new feature for the F2 Series machines, integrated into the heart of the machine it is able to adjust key functions to save fuel and allow the machine to deliver high powered performance.

Product Link

Product Link is a feature that really allows you to get the most from your Cat Backhoe Loader. You can set a virtual boundary, compare idle and working times, and view accurate fuel usage. These, along with many other features provided through the Product Link option, will really help you achieve the highest possible productivity from your machine and stay in control.

Powerful Hydraulics

Powerful Hydraulics are a standout feature of the F2 Series machines, which really make an impact. High pump flow in a superior hydraulic system allows the operator excellent hydraulic performance at their fingertips.

ECO Mode

The F2 Series of Cat Backhoe Loaders have an all new Advanced Power Management System (APMS). The APMS allows the operator to set the machine to ECO mode, providing excellent fuel savings. This system offers the perfect balance between power and economy, enabling fuel savings with no impact on productivity.

Axles and Differential Lock

The F2 Series of Cat Backhoe Loaders boast heavy duty Cat axles, providing high durability, low noise levels, and superb traction on uneven surfaces. A three-chamber system provides constant lubrication of the heavy duty running gear and bearings on all gradients. A 100% locking differential is fitted as standard on the Cat Backhoe Loader, ensuring maximum traction in all conditions. The 434F2 is an equal-sized tire machine, which delivers many additional benefits: flotation and low ground pressure, increased loader performance, and all-wheel steer.

Backhoe Quick Coupler

Manual or hydraulic backhoe couplers make rear tool exchange quick, easy, and safe. New Cat dual lock couplers have a self-adjusting wedge design to ensure a tight fit, and they also feature a safety lock that automatically engages.

Cab and Controls

Cab and Controls The introduction of the new cab to the Cat Backhoe Loader provides a comfortable and easy to use operator environment. With the ability to customize your experience, the all new cab allows the operator to perform in greater comfort and enjoy the latest technologies available on today's generation of backhoe loaders.

Controls

The 434F2 is fitted with mechanical controls providing low effort operation, with the ability to choose between ISO (Excavator) or SAE (Backhoe) control patterns. Providing easy and safe operation for operators of any experience or ability.

The Proven C4.4 ACERT Engine Delivers Reliable Power on Demand

A powerful 74.5 kW power unit provides excellent performance for all applications. Outstanding fuel economy contributes to low owning and operating costs. A robust aftertreatment solution reduces emissions without compromising performance. To meet EU Stage IV emission standards, the Cat Backhoe Loader utilizes the latest emissions technology available, including Diesel Exhaust Fluid.

Torque Lock-Up

The lock-up torque converter provides a direct ratio between power pack and driveline when in the roading gears. This results in a 16% decrease in fuel consumption and an 11% increased average speed. The lock-up torque converter is an invaluable addition for those traveling between job sites.

Cat Filters

All Cat filters are vertically mounted for spill-free servicing and reduced oil contamination. These low micron filters remove microscopic particles from the oil, keeping the engine, transmission, and hydraulic system running smoothly for years.

Power Shift Transmission

This optional six speed transmission will perfectly match itself to the application, carefully selecting the appropriate gear whether you’re driving between job sites or using the loader function. Now the gear box has been tweaked, smoothing gear shifts and extending the top gear, providing a more efficient and comfortable driving experience.

Excavator Style Backhoe

Whether close-up truck loading or digging over obstacles, the iconic excavator style boom tackles the toughest jobs with ease. Combine this versatility with powerful breakout forces, controllability, a flow-sharing hydraulic system and the 434F2 is capable of high levels of productivity with minimum effort. The boom is a narrow design, ensuring maximum visibility to the work tool and ground.

Extendible Stick

The 434F2 is available with an extendible stick that increases dig depth and reach capability increasing the machines versatility and utilization, reducing the amount of machine repositioning and therefore reducing site damage. A sliding inner section design helps to ensure the wear pads remain as dirt free as possible, extending adjustment and replacement intervals. Auxiliary lines, for operating hydraulic work tools, have been routed so that they are protected from damage when working in the narrowest of trenches.

Loader Buckets

General Purpose loader buckets are available as well as the hydraulically operated Multi Purpose bucket. These come in a range of sizes from 0.96 m³ to 1.3 m³.

Cat Cushion Swing

The 434F2 is equipped with Cat Cushion Swing, which enables very fast trenching by damping the boom oscillation during trenching cycles.

Daily Service Points

Caterpillar understands that the easier a task is the more likely it is to be done. We have ensured that servicing the Cat Backhoe Loader is as simple as it can be. All daily check points are grouped together and are easy to access. Sealed for life axles and driveshafts remove the need for operators to grease the time consuming and awkward areas below the machine.

Hinged Cooling Pack

The hood opens to reveal the engine and a unique to Cat hinged cooling pack. The air conditioning pack lifts up and the radiator tilts forward with no tooling required, giving easy access for debris removal whether you are in the workshop or on a job site, keeping cooling performance to an optimum.

Wear Pad Adjustments

The Extendible Stick (E-Stick) is designed to be self lubricating, to minimize the need for operator interaction. The stabilizers and E-Stick all have easily adjustable wear pads that require no disassembly. When wear pad adjustments are necessary, the adjustment bolts are easy to access, taking minutes to complete the adjustment.
