The machine carries the 1.0 m³ bucket and swings at 11.5 rpm. The audit verifies each work function against the OEM pressure window, and the results are photographed and dated in the HMP report.

Undercarriage and Track System

The crawler system on this Caterpillar 320GC is 450 mm of shoe width over 3.65 m of track, with ground pressure at 32 kPa.
