KATO I MER AS12

RELIABLE “IN LINE” TRANSMISSION (WITHOUT PUMPS DRIVE BELTS) Flexibly mounted manifold to avoid exhaust pipe cracks

The injection system is protected by filter and water/diesel oil separator

New Yanmar "1.1 liter" engine The low linear piston speed (6.83 mps) resulting from low rated RPM 2,500 rpm only, reduces engine noise level, vibrations, consumption and wear

LOW RATED RPM FOR LESS CONSUMPTION AND WEAR Well-protected front and rear lights

THE “BLOWING” FAN REDUCES THE RADIATORS CLOGGING Barrier preventing rain water entrance

Cooling air is taken “clean” from engine compartment

TWO CYLINDERS FOR BUCKET CONTROL (VISIBILITY AND STURDINESS)

All pins are “straddlemounted”, supported on both ends (sturdiness, reliability)

The “flat-face” quick couplings (easy to clean in comparison to those with hollow) avoid hydraulic system pollution

KATO I MER AS12

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE IN SAFETY “ORBIT” MOTORS WITH HIGH DRAWBAR PULL (1,423 DAN) AND AUTOMATIC DISC BRAKES IN OIL BATH

Compared to axial piston motors, “orbit” motors supply more torque (overall dimensions being equal)

Disc brakes in oil bath, spring-driven and hydraulically released

The bigger bucket rollback avoids material waste during transportation

EASY TRANSMISSION CHAINS TENSIONING

The new trapdoor, which can be accessed from outside, allows a quick tensioning check.

The screw type tensioners and the axle shafts fixing with “buttonhole” drilling make adjustment easier.

“MODULAR” PIPES Pipes “screwed” (not welded) to the cylinders tubes make eventual replacements for damage easier

Wide gap between wheels and frame for snow chains mounting

12 Costruzioni

Nitrogen accumulator allows tool movements by gravity and the cross automatic brakes (towing) unblock when engine is off.

Quick hydraulic couplings, “flat-face” (no hollows), easy to clean to avoid hydraulic oil pollution

RADIAL GREASING NIPPLES TO REDUCE GREASE PUMPING EFFORT The radial (instead of axial) greasing nipples do not weaken the pin section and require less pumping effort of grease (shorter path)

Radial greasing nipples

Single bucket pins unblock lever

EASY TO ACCESS DRAINAGE PIPES AND FILTERS Remote diesel oil drainage pipe with tap

Coolant drainage pipe with tap

A vacuum gauge indicates air filter clogging on the dashboard (warning light).

Automatic injection system air discharge with electric pump Engine oil level and re-fill

Maintenance free battery, easily accessible for emergency connections Remote hydraulic oil drainage

Transparent filter and water/diesel oil separator (immediate impurities detection) with shutter for no pipes emptying and tap for quick impurities discharge

NEW PRODUCTION LINE A revolution has occurred in the KATO IMER plant in San Gimignano (certified ISO 9001).

Since July 2013, the new compact excavators production line is in operation.

This has resulted in a revised spaces allocation, thus optimizing the already existing minidumper production line and creating the new skid loader production line as well as a storage area at service of all the three production lines.

Quality control is actually completely computerized and it is carried out via tablet devices.
