The MH3049 material handler features an electronically controlled, mechanically actuated, unit-injector fuel system that uses multiple injection fuel delivery for optimum power and economy in all operating situations, according to Caterpillar. A Cat ACERT C9 8.8-liter engine rated at 300 hp powers the wheeled material handler. A hydraulic cab-riser system features ground entry and exit with a step-in cab that enhances safety for operators and service personnel. Cab height on the MH3049 is adjustable up to an eye level of 18.75 feet. Raise time from ground level to maximum height is about 14 seconds.
