Obviously the B, C, D etc. are the series but what do some of the others stand for: L = Long Undercarriage U = Utility CR = Compact Radius RR = Reduced Radius I have one that I can’t decipher- “ME” Its on a 320LME Serial ANB01413 build date 3/27/2001 SIS doesn’t make reference to it that I saw after a quick look. Any one have any info? Plenty of other ANB prefix machines that do not have the “ME” letters after the “320L”. I do realize this is a vintage machine, people have been known to personalize things, however it does appear to be original and the “ME” is in the same font for what it’s worth. I have looked up old brochures and images and nothing jumps out to me.
Don‘t know what it means but there is a few more out there
Seems to me It stands for Mass excavator Meaning higher than normal capacity
Yes. That’s plausible.
I found another- LN = Long Narrow Undercarriage.
I think you nailed it. I found the appropriate cat brochure. A reach boom or mass excavation boom were options.
