Caterpillar Updates New Cabs for Forest Machine Lines

Cat Forest Products recently announced updates to the cab on the forest machine (FM) line, including the Cat^® 320D FM, 324D FM, 325D FM and the 330D FM. The machines can be configured to perform in any forestry application, including log loader, harvester/processor and road builder.

The updates improve operator comfort and safety and machine durability:

• A full-size sliding window on the left side of the cab allows more fresh air into the cab.
• The escape hatch above the operator’s head has a new quick release latch system to allow fast exit in an emergency. The operator just grabs and flips the latch to pop the escape hatch open.
• The window mounting brackets and hardware have been strengthened to prevent damage from falling debris, and the design simplified to eliminate potential leaks into the cab.
• The sheet metal of the HVAC filter intake cover was strengthened and thickened to prevent damage.
• The working light on the entry door side has stronger guards and steel bar protectors to prevent breakage.
