en.Wedoany.com Reported - Japanese manufacturer Morooka has introduced its latest rotating track carrier, the MST160CR, to the US market, featuring higher travel speeds and multiple technological upgrades.

The MST160CR is powered by a Caterpillar C7.1 Tier 4 Final engine with a rated power of 306 hp (@1,900 rpm), an operating weight of 40,345 lbs, and a maximum payload of 35,274 lbs. The dump body can rotate 360 degrees, making it the 11th track carrier model Morooka has launched for the US market.

The vehicle achieves a maximum travel speed of 8.1 mph (high range) and 4.9 mph in low range, which Morooka claims is the fastest among 16-ton class carriers. The manufacturer states that the MST160CR, measuring 20 ft 4 in in length and 9 ft 9 in in width, is as compact as an 11-ton class model and does not require a pilot vehicle when traveling on roads.

The vehicle is equipped with an automatic deceleration function that reduces engine speed when the travel or swing control lever remains in neutral for an extended period. An anti-stall feature allows the hydraulic system to sense heavy loads and adjust flow accordingly. A new electronic control handle ensures travel direction always aligns with the handle's orientation, while the front interior of the dump body is lined with wear-resistant Hardox steel for enhanced durability.

The MST160CR features an overload prevention weighing function, allowing the operator to estimate the payload based on hydraulic pressure with the push of a button.

Standard equipment includes a ROPS/FOPS cab, LED light bars, a removable chassis pivot bracket, and a panoramic camera system that provides a 3D bird's-eye view of the MST160CR on the in-cab monitor. Compared to the MST110CR, the vehicle also features improved right-side visibility and enhanced chassis durability through extended track ground contact length.

The MST160CR has a ground pressure of 5.3 psi when empty and 9.9 psi when fully loaded, a minimum ground clearance of 22 inches, and a dump body heaped capacity of 10.4 cubic yards with a struck capacity of 7.5 cubic yards.
