Model History and Information: The Cat® M318D is a wheeled hydraulic excavator that combines rubber-tire road mobility with a tracked excavator's digging and lifting capability, work suited to urban construction and utility jobs where a machine travels between nearby sites without a trailer. This 1:87 scale version is presented as an Earth Mover play set rather than a precision collectible, built for hands-on use with a movable boom, stick, and bucket, a rotating upper body, and rolling rubber tires. It differs from the High Line Series M318D also in the Diecast Masters catalog, which is packaged as a display model in a metal tin rather than a play set, sharing only its subject and scale.
