2022 Caterpillar Forest Machines 568
OVERVIEWCaterpillar's most productive forest machine, the 568, moves more trees, dirt and debris faster. With more hydraulic power, a fuel efficient engine system, extensive visibility from the comfortable cab, and low-effort precision controls, your operators can work at optimum productivity.
Features may include:
move More With Less Fuel- cat C9.3 Engine Delivers More Horsepower Using Less Fuel And Meets Current Tier 4 Interim Emissions Standards.
- isochronous Speed Control To Maintain A Constant Speed - Regardless Of Load - To Improve Fuel Economy.
- three Power Modes Are Offered: High Power, Standard Power, And Economy Power.
- offers The Flexibility Of Running On Either Ultra-low-sulfur Diesel (Ulsd) Fuel With 15 Ppm Of Sulfur Or Less Or Bio Diesel (B20) Fuel Blended With Ulsd.
- equipped With One-touch Idle To Reduce Engine Speed Quickly And Conserving Fuel.
powerful Efficiency- efficient Hydraulic Horsepower Is A Key Advantage To Cat Forest Machines.
- more Than Just The Engine Power Under The Hood.
- hydraulic Horsepower For The 568 Increased From The Previous Series' Output Due To Pump And Other System Improvements, Meaning You Move More Material In Less Time.
- a High-pressure System Tackles The Toughest Of Work In Short Order. A New One-piece, Cast-block, Back-to-back Main Control Valve Features Resized And Reshaped Oil Passages For Improved Efficiency And Serviceability; Stackable Auxiliary Valve Attachments Mount On Top Of The Main Valve, Allowing Auxiliary Hydraulic Lines And Valve Configurations To Be Simplified For Greater Reliability.
- return Filter Is A Capsule Design With A Cartridge Inside. Unlike Many Competitors, The Cat Cartridge Features A Handle To Help Remove And Change Without Oil Spillage Or Contamination. A Sensor Attached To The Filter Warns The Operator If It Is Plugging Or Exceeds A Certain Pressure Level.
- the Swing Priority Circuit Uses A New Electric Valve That's Operated By The Machine's Improved Electronic Control Module (Ecm) For More Finely Tuned Control For More Productive Material Loading.
- a New Electric Boom Regeneration Valve Minimizes Pump Flow When The Boom Lowers, Improving Fuel Economy. It Is Optimized For Any Dial Speed Setting Being Used By The Operator, Which Aids Controllability And Enhances Component Durability.
- a Stick Regeneration Circuit Regenerates The Flow Of Oil From The Rod End Of The Stick Cylinder To The Head End Of The Stick Cylinder During Low-load, Stick-in Operation, Saving Energy And Expense.
operator Comfort And Control- new Seat Options Include Air Suspension, Heated Standard, And Heated And Air-cooled Option. Each Seat Includes A Reclining Back, Upper And Lower Seat Slide Adjustments, And Height And Tilt Angle Adjustments To Meet Operator Preferences.
- right And Left Joystick Consoles Can Be Adjusted To Meet The Operator's Preference, Enhancing Comfort And Productivity.
