New Cat® MH3295 Material Handler delivers high production in port and large scrapyard applications

IRVING, Texas, September 24, 2025―Built to deliver a long reach required for barge loading/unloading and large scrapyard applications, the new Cat® MH3295 Material Handler will feature a dedicated swing pump for smooth, coordinated movement and a wide track undercarriage for optimum stability and performance. Electrohydraulic controls plus advanced Caterpillar technologies help boost productivity on jobs that demand high performance.

The new material handler features an 17.6 m (57.7 ft) reach plus two counterweight configurations to meet jobsite conditions. Its wide, 4.8 m (15.7 ft) track gauge retracts to a 4.1 m (13.5 ft) width to simplify transport. The wide operating track gauge combines with the undercarriage’s 7.2 m (23.6 ft) track length to deliver smooth, stable operation at extended reach.

Its powerful, 405 kW (543 hp) Cat C18 engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards and offers reliable operation up to 3000 m (9,840 ft) above sea level without derating. Operators can match machine performance to the job at hand using three power modes – Power, Smart and Eco – to help save fuel. Giving operators control when needed, an advanced electrohydraulic system helps provide the optimum balance of power and efficiency.

SmartBoom™ technology allows the boom to freely travel up and down without using pump flow, enabling operators to focus on stick and attachment movements. A variety of Cat work tool attachments are available to meet a range of material and density types. Valve priority helps operators direct hydraulic pressure and flow where it is needed.

Boosting operating efficiency, Cat Payload for the new MH3295 assists operators with achieving precise load targets, helping to eliminate overloading of over-the-road trucks and enabling more accurate production tracking. Real-time weight estimates are displayed in-cab when picking up a material load without swinging.

Standard Swing Assist technology automatically stops upper machine rotation at preset points to help operators hit more repetitive swing targets, reduce fuel consumption and improve cycle times. Quickly established, the operator simply swings to a desired stopping point and sets the target using the in-cab monitor or a preset joystick button. When approaching the predefined limit, the machine automatically decelerates and does not allow the stick to travel beyond the set point.

Leveraging data wirelessly, VisionLink™ provides actionable insights for the new MH3295 Material Handler. It allows fleet managers to review equipment data from a desktop or mobile device to help maximize uptime and optimize assets. Dashboards provide machine operating details like hours, location, idle time and fuel utilization, so informed fleet decisions can be made to help lower costs.

Standard remote services technologies help the new material handler operate with maximum uptime and efficiency. Remote Troubleshoot allows the Cat Dealer to diagnose issues remotely without impacting machine performance, so they are resolved quickly with less machine downtime. Updating onboard software without requiring a technician to be present, Remote Flash enables the company to initiate software updates at a time convenient to the production schedule, increasing overall efficiency.
