Work Tool and Attachments

Work Tools and Attachments
The Work Tools and optional attachments for the 16M expand machine versatility, utilization and performance.

Moldboard Options.
A 4.9 m (16 ft) moldboard is standard on the 16M from the factory.


Ground Engaging Tools (GET).
A wide variety of Caterpillar GET is available on the 16M, including cutting edges, graderbits and end bits, all designed for maximum service life and productivity.

Variable Float.
The optional variable float feature gives the operator the ability to select the amount of down force the blade has when it is in float. This allows the operator to easily follow the contour of the haul road when removing only the loose material, increasing productivity and cutting edge life.

Front Mounted Groups.
A front mounted push plate/counterweight can be ordered on the 16M. A Caterpillar Work Tools front lift group can be combined with a front dozer blade for added versatility.

Ripper.
The 16M optional ripper is made to penetrate tough material fast and rip thoroughly for easier material movement with the moldboard. The ripper includes three shanks with the ability to add four more if needed.


Automatic Lubrication System.
The optional Lincoln Centro-Matic® AutoLube System maintains the proper grease lubrication on working surfaces, significantly extending component life. Contaminants are purged from open pins and bushings to help prevent dirt from damaging critical components.

Fast-Fill Fuel.
The 16M offers a standard Fast-Fill that allows customers to refuel in less than two minutes for fast, accurate filling and reduced downtime.
