2022 Caterpillar Underground Mining (LHD) Loaders R2900

2022 Caterpillar Underground Mining (LHD) Loaders R2900

Our most popular LHD model is available with the latest emission control solutions. With its advanced, EU Stage V compliant engine and aftertreatment, the new R2900 helps improve the underground air quality, is quiet, and stays true to its heritage of long-term durability and performance.
The R2900 is a powerful new tool for underground mining.

With the latest diesel engine technology and emission controls, the R2900 significantly lowers your carbon footprint and improves the air quality in your mine.

The R2900 is ready for remote operation and machine health monitoring.

The proven power and performance of this machine supports a lower cost per ton. Comfort, handling and ride quality make this an operator favorite.

Features may include:

• RELIABLE, QUIET AND DURABLE POWER TO ENSURE PRODUCTIVITY WITH CLEAN EMISSIONS

• The efficient Cat® C15 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 cooled pistons increase heat dissipation and promote longer piston life. The crankshaft is forged, and induction hardened for long-term durability. The engine with Stage V emission package is recommended for mines that require compliance with highest emission standards in underground applications or customers that require to drive down diesel particulate matter and NOx emission to near-zero while improving overall air quality and maintaining a high machine performance. Aftertreatment components are carefully guarded and heat wrapped. The system uses regeneration to manage emissions inside the Clean Emissions Module (CEM). This solution requires the use of 15 PPM ultra-low sulfur diesel and CJ-4 low ash engine oil. The VR Package focuses on diesel particulate matter and it incorporates selective engine hardware and software to minimize diesel particulate matter in the engine exhaust. A Cat Diesel Particulate Filter (wall flow filter or flow through filter) can be used with the VR engine package. The filters compliment the VR engine by further reducing particulate matter in the exhaust. This solution requires the use of 15 PPM ultra-low sulfur diesel and CJ-4 low ash engine oil.

• POWER SHIFT TRANSMISSION

• The Cat four-speed planetary power shift transmission is matched with the Cat C15 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 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.
