Features - Customer driven improvements are designed in to the 428E.

 

Lower Operating Cost

The 428E has improved Stabilizer and E – Stick wear pad adjustment. External wear pad adjustment ensure easy maintenance of the Stabilizer and E –Stick, lowering operating costs. This equates to less machine downtime and more convenience for the operator.

 

Improved Weight Distribution

The 428E has been designed with improved weight distribution. The new design coupled with a slightly longer wheel base ensures optimum balance and handling, particularly when roading. This is achieved with no loss in turning circle.

 
Pattern Changer

The 428E is offered with an optional pattern changer, allowing operators to choose between either Backhoe ISO or X pattern. Excavator SAE control patterns are also available from the factory. This ensures the 428E will suit any type of operator.

 
New 145 Litre Fuel Tank

Responding to customer needs, Cat has enlarged the fuel tank by over 13% to 145 litres. Along with the efficient Cat engine and hydraulic system, this ensures longer periods between fill ups and less inconvenience.

 
Electro – Deposition Coating

Your 428E has been protected by an undercoat of electro – deposited (E-Coat) primer, which completely seals each metallic component and offers a superior degree of protection from damage and corrosion. Coupled with the high solids polyurethane top coat, your 428E will stay looking good for longer, ensuring optimum resale value.


 
 
 
 
Caterpillar Immobilizer System

Machine theft has serious repercussions for your business, such as loss of business, higher insurance costs and inconvenience. The all new Cat Immobilizer System is a diesel engine immobilizer system, designed to provide theft protection. The system meets Thatcham approved to provide theft protection. The system meets Thatcham approval and PTAG attack time requirements and a premium discount may be available from certain Insurance companies (see your Cat dealer for details) the system uses the same key but has a one touch pad for easy disarming.

 

Loader - The 428E self – leveling loader now has even grater performance

Improved Loader Performance

The new 42SE Parallel Lift Loader is available with either a General Purpose or Multi Purpose bucket, it can be matched to your needs precisely. As ever, the work tool visibility is excellent with the narrow sloping hood and divergent loader arms allowing a clear line of sight to the bucket edges. The large torque tube provides torsional stiffness, needed when picking up irregular shaped heavy objects, in the loader bucket, or grading with the loader.

 
 
 

Backhoe Performance - The E-Series Backhoe improvers performance and serviceability

Excavator-style Backhoe  
The instantly recognizable Cat excavator boom has more than just good looks - it outperforms straight boom designs too. Whether close-up truck loading on a single road carriageway, or digging over obstacles such as walls, the excavator boom outperforms the rest. Combine this versatility with the powerful breakout forces, the controllability of the load-sensing, flow-sharing hydraulic system, and you have the best hoe in the industry. The boom is a narrow design, ensuring maximum visibility to the work tool.
 

All New Extendable Stick

The 428E is available with the all new, improved extendable stick. Redesigned with the sliding outer section, this design keeps the wear pads out of the dirt, extending adjustment intervals. When adjustment is necessary, the externally accessible wear pad design takes 20 minutes to adjust, without the need to disassemble the E-Stick. The new sliding outer E-Stick design allows excellent material clamping with the hoe bucket.

 

New Slider Frame and Swing Frame

The 428E is designed to make necessary maintenance easy to perform. The new E-Series cast slider frame has exterior lock clamps, with no backhoe disassembly needed when servicing. The Swing Frame/ Boom Foot pins have replaceable bushings in the bores.

 

Caterpillar Cushion Swing Option

The 428E is available with Cat Cushion Swing, which enables very fast trenching by damping the boom oscillation down when returning to trench with the hoe.

 
 

Serviceability - Lower operating costs mean a better return

Reduced Maintenance

The 428E is equipped with a new flip open hood, allowing access to all check/fill points, air cleaner, washer bottles, visual indicators etc. The E-Series carries on the tradition with sealed for life axial oscillation, driveshaft universal joints, trunnions etc. Daily maintenance, which can be a chore for the busy operator, is kept to a minimum on the new 428E.

 

Boom and Stick Design

The all new Boom and Stick design allows all wear adjustment to be done with Stick in-situ, using a simple wedge adjustment mechanism - no dismantling to shim the wear pads. The Stabiliser legs are also externally adjustable, reducing machine down time and inconvenience.

 
Cat Filters

All Cat filters are vertically mounted for spill free servicing and reduced oil contamination. They are also low micron filters, filtering even the tiny particles from the oil and keeping the engine, transmission and hydraulic system running smoothly for years.

 
Scheduled Oil Sampling

Your Cat dealer will be able to provide the Caterpillar Scheduled Oil Sampling (S-0-Ssm) service. This enables your dealer to analyze wear before problems arise, so that premature failure can be avoided, and corrective action can take place to reduce costs and downtime.
