Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) electronically controls retarding on grade, allowing the operator to maintain optimum engine speeds for faster downhill hauls and greater productivity.
Single-stage hoist cylinders that provide fast dump cycle times of 16 seconds for raise and 21 seconds for lower.
POWER & EFFICIENCY
Cat C18 engine, which provides efficient fuel management for quick response, high productivity and exceptional service life.
Torque rise that effectively matches transmission shift points for maximum efficiency and fast cycle times.
Lockup Torque Converter combines maximum rimpull while in torque converter drive with the efficiency and performance of direct drive when the lockup clutch is engaged.
Mechanically Actuated, Electronic Unit Injection (MEUI™) high-pressure, direct injection fuel system, which electronically monitors operator demands and sensor inputs to optimize engine performance and fuel combustion.
Cat seven-speed planetary power shift transmission matched with the direct-injection Cat C18 engine to deliver constant power over a wide range of operating speeds.
TRUCK BODIES
Cat truck bodies designed for optimal strength, capacity and durability.
Designed and matched with the integrated chassis system for optimum structural reliability, durability and long life.
Two Cat body styles, dump body and ejector body, for the most efficient hauling solution at the lowest cost per ton.
Greater versatility with ejector body that can be easily removed and a dump body fitted.
RELIABILITY & DURABILITY
Box-section frame design with stiff frame beams to resist twisting forces; weld joint and materials matched to optimize structural life.
Full floating axles that relieve internal stresses and increase durability, plus rolled splines that provide increased service life.
Two independent variable rebound suspension cylinders that dissipate haul road forces for longer frame life and a comfortable ride.
Proven planetary power shift transmission built for long life between overhauls.
Frame, powertrain, engine and components that are built to be rebuilt, delivering second and third lives.
SERVICEABILITY
Ground-level access to all tanks, filters, lubrication points and compartment drains; remote mounted fuel filters for easier serviceability; and fluid-level sight gauges.
Radial seal air filters that are easy to change, reducing time required for air filter maintenance.
Electrical connectors that are sealed to lock out dust and moisture, harnesses that are covered for protection, and wires that are color- and number-coded for easy diagnosis and repair.
Cat Electronic Technician (ET), which enables quick electronic diagnosis of machine performance and key diagnostic data for effective maintenance and repairs.
Cat Electronic Monitoring System (EMS), which provides continuous access to critical machine data to keep the machine performing at a high level.
INTELLIGENT ELECTRONICS
Smoother shifts and longer component life with Controlled Throttle Shifting, which regulates engine RPM, torque converter lock-up and transmission clutch engagement.
Reduced fuel consumption, decreased noise levels and potential for longer engine life with Economy Shift Mode.
Machine damage prevented by directional shift management, which regulates engine speed to avoid high-speed directional changes; and body-up shift inhibitor, which prevents the transmission from shifting above a pre-programmed gear without the body fully lowered.
Overspeed protection provided by Automatic Retarder Control, which engages the brakes if an unsafe engine speed is reached when the throttle is being depressed by the operator.
SUSTAINABILITY
Engine with EU Stage V emissions package for mines that require compliance with highest emission standards to drive down diesel particulate matter and NOx emission to near-zero while improving overall air quality and maintaining a high machine performance; also available with EU Stage IIIA /U.S. EPA Tier 3 engine.
Optional Ventilation Reduction (VR) Package, which incorporates selective engine hardware and software to reduce diesel particulate matter in the engine exhaust and deliver a significant ventilation rate reduction, a decrease in fuel consumption, and maintained or improved product performance.
Cat Diesel Particulate Filter, which complements the VR engine by further reducing particulate matter in the exhaust.
Ongoing research and development into engine compatibility with diesel fuel blended with lower-carbon intensity fuels such as biofuels and renewable fuels, plus power options like electrification.
Cat Rebuild and Cat Reman programs, which preserve raw materials, conserve energy and reduce emissions, plus retrofits and upgrades for older machines to incorporate efficiency improvements and emission reductions.
