Milton CAT 16M - Manual (Page 5)

Advanced Joystick Controls. Two electro-
hydraulic joysticks reduce hand and wrist
movement as much as 78% compared
to conventional lever controls for greatly
enhanced operator efficiency. The intuitive
pattern is easy to learn and provides the
precise implement control you expect
from Caterpillar.
Auxiliary Pod and Ripper Control.
The optional ripper control and auxiliary
control pod are ergonomically positioned
to allow simple, comfortable operation
for the multiple hydraulic options.
Visibility. The 16M boasts excellent
visibility to the work area, made possible
with angled cab doors, a tapered engine
enclosure and a patented sloped rear
window.
In-Dash Instrument Cluster.
The instrument panel, with easy-to-read,
high-visibility gauges and warning lamps,
keeps the operator aware of critical
system information.
Cat Messenger. Cat Messenger provides
real-time machine performance and
diagnostic data. You can quickly view
critical performance and operating
information, in multiple languages,
helping to maximize the life and
productivity of the machine.
Controls and Switches. Reliable, long-
life rocker switches are located on the
right side cab post and front instrument
cluster, within easy reach for the operator.
Low Interior Sound and Vibration Levels.
Isolation mounts for the cab, engine and
transmission, in addition to the relocation
of the hydraulic pump and valves, provide
significant sound and vibration reductions.
The low vibration levels and quiet interior
(72 dB(A)) provide a comfortable work
environment.
Cat Comfort Series Seat. The Cat ®
Comfort Series suspension seat has an
ergonomic high-back design, with extra
thick contoured cushions and infinitely
adjustable lumbar support that evenly
distributes the operator’s weight.
Multiple seat controls and armrests are
easy to adjust for optimal support and
comfort all day. The optional air
suspension seat enhances ride
quality for additional comfort.
Comfort and Convenience. Caterpillar has
built the most comfortable cab in the
industry by replacing the control levers
and steering wheel with two joystick
controls, and lengthening the cab to
give more leg room.
Multiple adjustment capabilities for the
arm rest, wrist rests and joystick pods
help keep the operator comfortable
throughout a long shift.
Modular HVAC System. The standard
modular heating, ventilation and air
conditioning system is fully integrated
into the design of the cab. The modular
design allows for easy replacement or
repair with minimum downtime.
Intelligent placement of vents provides
consistent climate control and clear
windows for every condition. The high-
capacity system dehumidifies air and
pressurizes the cab, circulating fresh
air and sealing out dust. An easily
accessible fresh air filter is located
outside the cab at ground level for
quick replacement or cleaning.
Optional HVAC Precleaner. Increases the
service interval of the HVAC fresh air
filter by up to ten times.
Additional Cab Features. Additional cab
features include cup holder, lighter and
ashtray, coat hook, storage area, night
time light, and power port. An optional
rearview camera, 25 amp power converter
and satellite radio are also available.
