2022 Caterpillar Underground Mining (LHD) Loaders R1300G

2022 Caterpillar Underground Mining (LHD) Loaders R1300G

At 13 tonnes, this is our smallest LHD, but with a breakout force of 12 000 kg and 123 kW of engine power, it brings maximum production capability to smaller mines.

Rebuild your R1300. We designed for this, and it lowers your cost per ton significantly over the life of the machine.

Excellent loaded weight distribution, ride control and seat suspension combine in the R1300 to set the standard for operator comfort.

Raise the bar on air quality in your mine by equipping your R1300.

Features may include:

• ENGINE

• The Cat 3306B is a proven engine that delivers reliability and durability. The efficient and powerful engine delivers maximum loading and tramming performance in the most demanding mining applications. Complete system integration of the engine and transmission ensures fuel efficiency and smooth operation.

• HIGH TORQUE RISE

• Provides unequalled lugging force while digging, tramming and traversing steep grades. Torque rise effectively matches transmission shift points for maximum efficiency and fast cycle times.

• RADIATOR

• Modular radiator with swing-out grill provides easy access for cleaning or repair. Built in sight gauge allows for quick, safe coolant level checks.

• PISTONS

• Oil cooled pistons increase heat dissipation and promote longer piston life.

• FULL-LENGTH WATER-COOLER

• Full-length water-cooled cylinder liners provide maximum heat transfer.

• TURBOCHARGED AND AFTERCOOLED

• Jacket water aftercooling provides improved fuel economy by packing cooler, denser air into cylinders for more complete combustion of fuel and lower emissions. The turbocharger enhances performance and efficiency.

• FUEL INJECTION

• The high pressure direct injection fuel system provides excellent fuel atomization for unmatched reliability and durability.

• CRANKSHAFT

• The crankshaft is forged and induction hardened for long-term durability.

• POWER SHIFT TRANSMISSION

• The Cat four-speed planetary power shift transmission is matched with the Cat 3306B diesel engine to deliver constant power over a wide range of operating speeds.

• ROBUST DESIGN

• Designed for rugged underground mining conditions, the proven planetary power shift transmission is built for long life between overhauls.

• TORQUE CONVERTER

• High capacity torque converter delivers more power to the wheels for superior power train efficiency.

• ELECTRONIC AUTO SHIFT TRANSMISSION

• The electronic auto shift transmission increases operator efficiencies and optimizes machine performance. The operator can choose between manual or auto shift modes.

• TRANSMISSION NEUTRALIZER

• Using the left brake pedal, the operator can engage the service brakes and neutralize the transmission, maintaining high engine rpm for full hydraulic flow, enhancing digging and loading functions.

• FINAL DRIVES

• Cat final drives work as a system with the planetary power shift transmission to deliver maximum power to the ground. Built to withstand the forces of high torque and impact loads, double reduction final drives provide high torque multiplication to further reduce drive train stress.
