2022 Caterpillar Underground Mining (LHD) Loaders R1700G
The R1700G underground loader is designed for high production, low cost-per-ton loading and tramming in underground mining applications. Compact design with agile performance, rugged construction and simplified maintenance ensures excellent productivity, long life and low operating costs.
Features may include:
Power Train – Engine – The Cat C11 engine is designed for power, reliability and efficiency.- 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 minimize 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 15 PPM ultra low sulfur diesel and CJ-4 low ash engine oil.
Power Train – Transmission – More power to the ground for greater productivity.- The Cat four-speed planetary power shift transmission is matched with the Cat C11 engine to deliver constant power over a wide range of operating speeds.
- Designed for rugged underground mining conditions, the proven planetary power shift transmission is built for long life between overhauls.
- 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 efficiency and optimizes machine performance. The operator can choose between manual or auto shift modes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Oscillating rear axle ensures four-wheel ground contact for maximum traction and stability at all times.
- Fully enclosed oil immersed disc brakes incorporate independent service and parking brake pistons. Hydraulic actuated independent circuits provide improved performance and reliability.
