Benefits & Features
BUILT TO PERFORM
- Unmatched Durability
- The full box-section rear frame resists torsional shock and twisting forces.
- Heavy-duty steering cylinder mounts efficiently transmit steering loads into the frame.
- Optimized axle mounting results in increased structural integrity.
- Achieve longer component life with increased size of upper hitch pin, frame plate, and bearing.
- Solid through-width push beams transfer and absorb stresses through a larger portion of the frame.
- Features fully enclosed hydraulic wet disc brakes for improved performance.
- Robust structures withstand the toughest conditions and multiple lifecycles to improve your bottom line.
- In corner dozing, stresses are transferred and absorbed through a larger portion of the frame.
MOVE MORE WITH LESS FUEL
- Optimum Efficiency
- The Cat C18 engine is designed for maximum fuel efficiency in the most demanding applications.
- Experience reliable efficiency with complete control over injection timing, duration, and pressure with Mechanically Actuated Electronic Unit Injection (MEUI™).
- Best-in-class Cat planetary powershift transmission features consistent, smooth shifting and efficiency through integrated electronic controls.
- Extended engine life and improved fuel efficiency with reduced rated speed.
- Impeller Clutch Torque Converter (ICTC) and Rimpull Control System (RCS) provide precise rimpull control.
- Load sensing hydraulic steering system enables precise machine control for easier loading.
- Lock-up torque converter with advanced control of lock-up speed.
- On demand cooling fan protects investment and lengthens lifecycle.
- Fully integrated electronic engine controls provide quick response.
SAFETY FIRST
- Increased Safety
- Optional Cat Detect with Object Detection System (rearview camera and radar) or standard Vision (rearview camera) increase operator awareness around the machine.
- Cab-mounted LED strobes provide warning for others near the machine.
- Optional HID or LED lights provide excellent workspace visibility.
- Optional heated mirrors ensure enhanced visibility for safe operation.
TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS WORK DONE
