With a more comfortable operator station, new extendible stick design and increased performance, the 416E lets you get more done with less effort.

Operator Station

Experience a whole new level of comfort with the spacious E-Series operator station. The ergonomic, automotive style enhances the operator environment. A narrow front dash provides excellent visibility to the front bucket. Reduced vibration keeps operator fatigue low. In-cab storage compartment and lockable tool and battery box provides ample space for tools and belongings. The operator station also features an easy-to-read gauge cluster.

Air Suspension Seat

The standard air suspension seat is adjustable for a greater operating range and more comfortable ride. A switch allows the seat to be tailored to support differing body weights. Adjustable seat height accommodates all operators.

Improved Air Conditioning

The improved air conditioning system features enhanced air distribution and performance for a more comfortable work environment. A nearly 20% increase in air flow over the D-Series combined with improved louver locations provide superior operator comfort.

Backhoe Controls

Two mechanical control patterns are available: two lever excavator, and two lever backhoe.

Configurations

The 416E operator station is available in 5 options ROPS Canopy, ROPS Canopy Plus, Utility Cab, Utility Cab Plus and Utility Cab Plus with Air Conditioning. See Standard and Optional Equipment for details.

Hydraulics

Load-sensing system matches power to demand.

Hydraulics

The 416E has a load-sensing, closed center hydraulic system, which closely matches power and flow to the demand needed by the implements. So whether you're in full trenching mode, or delicately digging around services, you are in control. In applications such as production trenching, speed is important and the system will match the flow needed to get the job done quickly and efficiently. The load-sensing hydraulic system also delivers:

• A cooler hydraulic system
• Better fuel efficiency
• Quieter operation
• Reduced wear on components

Ride Control

Delivers even greater operator comfort.

Ride Control

The optional Ride Control System smoothes the ride in all conditions, including load and carry, highway roading, or simply moving around the job site. It reduces machine loping, providing a smooth and stable ride for increased operator comfort and reduced operator fatigue. The Ride Control option improves material retention in the loader bucket for increased productivity and a cleaner job site. The system is easily engaged by an On/Off switch on the front console.

Power Train

Built for performance, power, reliability and fuel efficiency.

Cat Engine

The 416E features the Cat C4.4 DITA (Direct Injection Turbocharged Aftercooled) engine and meets all U.S. EPA Tier 3/EU Stage IIIa emissions requirements. Horsepower and torque rise deliver strong loading and roading performance.

• The water separator service indicator ensures the operator is alerted when service is necessary.
• Dry-type axial seal air cleaner with automatic, integrated dust ejection system for more efficient pre-separation.

Cat Engine

Transmission

The Cat standard power shuttle transmission provides four speeds forward and reverse. Hydraulically shifted clutches allow on-the-go direction and travel speed shifts.

• Hydraulic proportional control valves smooth speed and directional shifts.
• Four Wheel Drive (4WD) option improves mobility and loader performance in poor underfoot and can be activated on-the-go.
• Maximum roading speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) for faster travel between job sites.
• Cat Rear Axles are designed specifically for demanding backhoe loader applications.

Brake Mode Selector

The brake mode selector switch has three positions: two wheel drive, two wheel drive with all wheel braking and four wheel drive. Two wheel drive with all wheel braking provides better tire life while roading and engages the front axle when brakes are applied for improved braking performance.

Backhoe

Designed for high performance and easy service.

Backhoe

The E-Series backhoe delivers industry-leading digging forces. Serrated edges on the stick provide improved material clamping for clearing and demolition applications. The single pin bucket linkage contributes to best-in-class rotation of 205 degrees for all applications.

E-Stick Design

The optional extendible stick (E-stick) increases reach and dig depth by approximately 1.2 meters (4 feet). The new design delivers increased life and easy in-field adjustment with common hand tools.

Curved Boom

The excavator-style boom is built for optimum performance and durability. The curved design provides additional clearance over obstacles while digging a trench or truck loading. The narrow boom enhances the viewing area to the bucket and trench throughout the entire operating range.

Thumbs

Thumb mounting provisions are standard on every Cat Backhoe Loader for added machine versatility. Hydraulic thumbs are available factory-installed. Mechanical thumbs are available through your Cat Dealer.

Loader

Strong lift & breakout.

Loader

Single Tilt

The standard single tilt loader linkage on the 416E features strong lift and breakout forces for solid performance in backfilling and truck loading applications. The 416E is equipped with either a general purpose or multi-purpose pin-on bucket to meet your specific needs.

Single Tilt

Return-to-Dig

The return-to-dig system reduces loading cycle times by bringing the loader bucket back to the dig position with an easy pull of the lever. By the time the loader bucket is at ground level, the bucket is angled correctly for the next load or cut.

Technology Products

Advanced technologies improve productivity and simplify serviceability.

AccuGrade System

The AccuGrade system for backhoe loaders improves digging accuracy and site safety by eliminating the need for manual grade measuring. Both the Site and Laser Reference Systems save time and money in a variety of digging and trenching applications.

AccuGrade System

Site Reference System

The Site Reference System allows the operator to excavate to pre-determined coordinates. The intuitive software and controls allow the operator to set target grades.An in-cab display allows the operator to enter slope and dig depth parameters. Easy to read grade indicator and elevation display delivers all system information to the cab for easy viewing by the operator. System includes rugged components built to withstand the harshest environments:

• In-cab display
• Cylinder position sensors
• Swing position sensor
• Inclinometer
• Wiring harnesses

Site Reference System

Laser Reference System

The Laser Reference System works with laser transmitters to accurately grade or excavate to a site plan without the use of grade stakes. The Laser System includes all the components of the Site Reference System with the addition of the following:

• Laser receiver
• Electric mast and mount
• Laser wiring harness

Product Link

Product Link uses GPS technology to provide machine data, including service hours, location, events and diagnostic information, to you through a web-based application or e-mail/pager notification.
