Features

Long Term Value and Durability

Unmatched Durability

    
• The full box-section rear frame resists torsional shock and twisting forces.
    
• Solid through-width push beams transfer and absorb stresses through a larger portion of the frame.
    
• Robust structures withstand the toughest conditions and multiple lifecycles to improve your bottom line.
    
• Resilient, durable blades are designed with excellent dozing and rolling characteristics.
    
• Optimized axle mounting results in increased structural integrity.
    
• Castings in the engine and frame are used in high stress areas to spread high loads.
    
• One-piece castings enhance strength in key pin areas.

Move More with Less Fuel

Optimum Efficiency

    
• Experience reliable efficiency with complete control over injection timing, duration, and pressure with Mechanically Actuated Electronic Unit Injection (MEUI™).
    
• Best-in-class Cat planetary powershift transmission features consistent, smooth shifting and efficiency through integrated electronic controls.
    
• Extended engine life and improved fuel efficiency with reduced rated speed.
    
• Impeller Clutch Torque Converter (ICTC) and Rimpull Control System (RCS) provide precise rimpull control.
    
• Load sensing hydraulic steering system enables precise machine control for easier loading.
    
• Lock-up torque converter with advanced control of lock-up speed.
    
• On demand cooling fan protects investment and lengthens lifecycle.

Safety First

Increased Safety

    
• Battery disconnect, emergency engine shutdown, and stairway light switch are accessed through the ground level power service center.
    
• Optional Cat Detect with Object Detection System (rearview camera and radar) or Vision (rearview camera) increase operator awareness around the machine.
    
• Cab-mounted LED strobes provide warning for others near the machine.
    
• Wider stairs with reduced stair angles increase safety for operators.
    
• Access stairs via a powered platform from cab or ground level and have emergency egress access.

Technology that Gets Work Done

Innovative Technology

    
• Integrated technologies allow you to monitor, manage, and enhance your jobsite operations.
    
• Product Link™ remote monitoring provides valuable insight into machine or fleet performance through the VisionLink® interface, so you can make decisions that boost jobsite efficiency and lower operating costs.
    
• Vital Information Management System (VIMS™) 3G touchscreen monitor gives access to a wide range of sensor information and enhanced machine data to resolve problems before machine failure.
    
• Optional Cat Detect technologies enhance awareness of the environment around the machine for increased safety.

Work In Comfort

Enhanced Operator Comfort

    
• Steering and Transmission Integrated Control System (STIC™) combines directional selection, gear selection, and steering into a single lever, maximizing responsiveness and control while reducing operator fatigue.
    
• Operators can easily enter and exit the cab with fold-up STIC steer/armrest, reduced access stairway angles, and standard stairway lighting.
    
• Experience reduced vibrations with isolated cab mounts and seat-mounted implement and steering controls.
    
• Reduced interior sound levels keep operators comfortable throughout their entire shift.

Reduce Environmental Impact

Improved Sustainability

    
• Meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final emissions standards.
    
• Emits up to 18% less Co2 /hr.*
    
• Automatic Engine Idle Shutdown conserves fuel when machine is not in use.
    
• Generate less waste with maintenance-free batteries.
    
• Maximize machine life and lower operating costs with Caterpillar Reman and Certified Rebuild programs, which utilize reused or remanufactured components for 40 to 70 percent cost savings.
    
• Retrofit packages from Caterpillar deliver new features to older machines to get the most from your investment.

Save on Service and Maintenance

Simplified Maintenance

    
• Swing-out fuel, hydraulic oil coolers, and condenser allow for easy access cleanout.
    
• Machine features ground level or platform access to easily reach daily service points.
    
• Swing-out doors on either side of the engine compartment provide easy access to critical daily service checks.
    
• Optional tire pressure monitoring system provides real-time information to the operator in the cab for optimized tire life.
    
• Electronics bay is conveniently located inside the cab.
    
• Sight gauges offer quick visual inspection to minimize fluid contamination.
    
• Lighting inside the engine compartment improves visibility to service points.
    
• Ecology drains prevent spills and allow for easier service.
    
• 500-hour engine oil and filter change interval with S•O•S oil sampling analysis.
    
• Service center includes drain and fill, electronic technician connection, and fluid level status.
    
• Axle oil cooler and Automatic Retarder Control prevents unnecessary wear from accelerating down declines.
