2022 Caterpillar Underground Mining (LHD) Loaders R1600H

2022 Caterpillar Underground Mining (LHD) Loaders R1600H

The R1600H has a powertrain tuned specifically for speed on grade, mastering poor floor conditions, and delivering maximum production in all speed ranges.

The 1600H can be productive through 3 - 4 rebuilds thanks to the extreme durability designed into our structures.

Autonomous and line-of-sight operation, fire suppression, operator presence system, safety glass, these are just a few of the important safety features of the R1600H.

An exceptional load and haul machine, the R1600H is also the perfect 3-pass match with the Cat AD30 underground articulate truck.

Features may include:

• The Cat C11 engine 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. Mechanically Actuated, Electronic Unit Injection (MEUI™) high-pressure, direct injection fuel system electronically monitors operator demands and sensor inputs to optimize engine performance. Air-to-air aftercooling provides improved fuel economy by packing cooler, denser air into cylinders for more complete combustion of fuel and lower emissions. Oil coiled pistons increase heat dissipation and promote longer piston life. The crankshaft is forged and induction hardened for long-term durability. The VR Package incorporates selective engine hardware and software to reduce diesel particulate matter in the engine exhaust. Engines equipped with the VR Package feature a significant ventilation rate reduction, maintains fuel consumption, and maintained or improved product performance. VR Package availability is subject to regional regulatory compliance. Engines that emit equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA are also available. A Cat Diesel Particulate Filter can be used with the VR engine package. This filter compliments the VR engine by further reducing particulate matter in the exhaust. Requires the use of ultra-low sulfur diesel (15 ppm) and CJ-4 low ash engine oil.

• POWER SHIFT TRANSMISSION

• The Cat four-speed planetary power shift transmission is matched with the Cat C11 diesel engine to deliver constant power over a wide range of operating speeds and grades.

• ROBUST DESIGN

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

• TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKUP CLUTCH

• Combines maximum rimpull while in torque converter drive with the efficiency and performance of direct drive when the lockup clutch is engaged. The lockup clutch 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

• 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.
