The Cat 3456E electronic engine delivers higher power, durability and complete system integration of the engine and transmission for maximum efficiency.
The 18% torque rise provides unequalled lugging force during acceleration and less down-shifting on grade. Torque rise effectively matches transmission shift points for maximum efficiency and fast cycle times.
Air-to-air aftercooling provides improved fuel economy by packing cooler, denser air into cylinders for more complete combustion of fuel and lower emissions.
The electronically controlled unit injection fuel system senses operating conditions and regulates fuel delivery for optimum fuel efficiency. The proven high-pressure fuel system provides improved response times and more efficient fuel burn with lower emissions and less smoke.
ECM utilizes advanced engine management software to monitor, control and protect the engine utilizing self-diagnosing electronic sensors. The computerized system senses operating conditions and power requirements and adjusts engine for peak performance and most efficient operation at all times.
Caterpillar designed one-piece cast iron block provides strength and maximum durability. Two-piece articulated pistons with forged steel crowns withstand higher cylinder pressure.
The Cat mechanical drive power train and power shift transmission provide unmatched operating efficiency and control on steep grades, in poor underfoot conditions, and on haul roads with high rolling resistance.
The Cat seven-speed planetary power shift transmission is matched with the direct-injection 3456E diesel engine to deliver constant power over a wide range of operating speeds.
Combines maximum rimpull and cushioned shifting of torque converter drive with the efficiency and performance of direct drive. When engaged, lock-up provides superior power train efficiency by delivering more power to the wheels.
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.
Electronically integrates machine computer systems to optimize overall power train performance, increase reliability and component life, and reduce operating costs.
ET service tool provides service technicians with easy access to stored diagnostic data through Cat Data Link to simplify problem diagnosis and increase availability.
Critical data from the electronic engine and transmission controls, including transmission shifting, engine speed and fuel consumption, provides service technicians with enhanced diagnostic capability to reduce downtime and operating costs.
The Cat oil-cooled braking system delivers reliable performance and control in the most extreme underground mining conditions. The integrated system combines the service, secondary, parking brake and retarding functions in the same robust system for optimum braking efficiency.
Electronically controls retarding on grade to maintain optimum engine rpm and oil cooling. Additional braking may be applied using the manual retarder or the brake pedal. ARC is deactivated when the operator applies the brakes or throttle.
The AD55 operator station is ergonomically designed for total machine control in a comfortable, productive and safe environment. All controls, levers switches and gauges are positioned to maximize productivity and minimize operator error.
Integral to the cab and frame, both the ROPS-Rollover Protective Structure and FOPS-Fallover Protective Structure are resiliently mounted to isolate the operator from vibration for a more comfortable ride.
Optional sound-suppressed ROPS cab provides a quiet, secure working environment. Enclosed design provides fresh, pressurized, temperature-controlled air circulation with air-conditioned comfort and a more comfortable working environment.
Ergonomically designed, fully adjustable suspension seat with adjustable armrests provide optimal operator comfort. Thick cushions reduce pressure on lower back and thighs. Wide, retractable seat belts provide a secure, comfortable restraint.
Sport wheel with tilt and telescopic steering provides a comfortable driving position, secure grip and greater control.
Selection of the right body depends on material, haul road, and dump conditions. The better the match of body to application, the greater the efficiency. Your Cat dealer can help you select the right body system for your site specific application.
Cat truck bodies are designed for optimal strength, capacity and durability. Wear surfaces are equipped to handle tough impact and abrasion over the long haul without diminishing capacity.
Caterpillar truck bodies are designed and matched with the integrated chassis system for optimum structural reliability, durability and long life.
Large target area provides high load carrying capacity. It's diverging flow design gives clean load ejection, which maximizes production and avoids waste of material carryback.
Fast body raise and lower times mean less time spent in the dump areas.
The frame incorporates a box-section design with wide and stiff frame beams to hangle torque loads. The divergent frame design decreases stress in the hitch area and optimizes suspension geometry. Materials and weld joints are matched to optimize the life of the structure.
The articulating hitch provides the truck with steering articulation and the oscillation ensures the truck maintains all wheel ground contact in rough terrain.
Easy access to daily service points simplifies servicing and reduces time spent on regular maintenance procedures.
Electronic control system enables quick diagnosis of engine conditions and effective maintenance and repairs utilizing the Electronic Technician (ET) Service Tool.
Radial seal air filters are easy to change, reducing time required for air filter maintenance.
Makes fluid levels checks quick and easy.
Electrical connectors are sealed to lock out dust and moisture. Harnesses are braided for protection. Wires are color and number coded for easy diagnosis and repair.
Make detailed comparisons of the machines under consideration before purchase. Cat dealers can estimate component life, preventive maintenance cost, and the true cost of lost production.
Look past initial price. Consider the financing options available, as well as day-to-day operating costs. This is also the time to look at dealer services that can be included in the cost of the machine to lower equipment owning and operating costs over the long run.
Your dealer is an expert at arranging affordable financing options for all Caterpillar products.
Your dealer is available to help you manage your machine service and maintenance requirements to keep your machines productive and on the haul roads.
