Features may include:
Power Train – Engine – The Cat C15 engine – innovative technologies optimize performance.- The 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 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, a decrease in fuel consumption, and maintained or improved product performance. VR Package availability is subject to regional regulatory compliance. A Cat Diesel Particulate Filter can be used with the VR engine package. The filter compliments the VR engine by further reductions in particulate matter. Requires the use of ultra-low sulfur diesel (15 ppm) 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 C15 diesel engine to deliver constant power over a wide range of operating speeds and grades.
- 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.
- 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.
