At 22 tonnes (24 tons), the Cat AD22 represents a new size class for Caterpillar with industry leading capacity for its size. This truck is powerful, quick and nimble. It is extremely productive in compact mining conditions on less than ideal haul roads. It can also be uniquely configured for your mine with different cab and body options (including an ejector body). The AD22 uses the C11 ACERT diesel engine and other Cat power train components to produce excellent low-end torque, speed on grade and top speeds of 25.3 km/h or 15.7 mph in 4th gear.

ACERT is an emissions control and performance strategy developed by Caterpillar. It involves precise and efficient delivery of fuel using state of the art injectors, engine electronics and a proprietary method for routing air into the combustion process. The C11 ACERT uses MEUI – Mechanical Electronic Unit Injectors. One key to reducing emissions is to control temperature during combustion. To manage this, Caterpillar uses precisely timed microbursts of fuel during the four-stroke cycle. The quantity of fuel used will depend on the load being asked of the engine, and the fuel is highly atomized so that we’re using every drop for work.
Coupled to the C11 ACERT is a Cat heavy-duty torque converter with an automatic Lock-Up Clutch and our planetary powershift transmission. These components are responsible for the nimble performance, speed on grade and all-wheel drive capabilities of the truck. The transmission features our Electronic Clutch Pressure Control (ECPC) technology. ECPC protects the transmission from pressure spikes that can reduce component life, and it produces a softer shift for operator comfort. Both the engine and transmission are equipped with Cat ADEM™ A4 electronic controls.
The torque converter and lock-up clutch manage available rimpull and drive train efficiency. If the truck is stopped on an uphill slope or under load conditions that require first gear – the truck will automatically select the gear it needs. This second gear take off is done automatically and is a component life and fuel saving feature.
The AD22 frame is constructed using box sections and incorporates belly guards on the engine end frame. Used throughout Cat truck designs, our box section construction allows the frame to manage torque loads and impact stresses.
The AD22 has been designed to carry 48 percent of its loaded weight on the front axle and 52 percent on the rear – giving the truck excellent balance and a well-positioned center of gravity. These attributes contribute to the long term life of components, operator comfort and machine stability.
The single ejector body option is 9.7 m³ (12.7 yd³). This body option includes 8 mm (0.31 in) steel liner plate for abrasion resistance and additional wear material on rails. It includes a three stage ejector cylinder for quick unloading cycles. This body can be retrofitted to a traditional dump body chassis.
All bodies can be marked with optional reflective tape from the factory for improved visibility.
The AD22 is ideally pass matched with the R1300G and the R1600G/H – with three passes by the R1300G and two passes by the R1600G/H.
One way this truck contributes to a safe work environment is its outstanding visibility to the work area. There is an excellent field of vision around the front of the truck, and rearview mirrors and a rear facing camera allow the operator to see what’s happening to the sides and to the back of their work space.
When operating in reverse, the truck will sound an alarm. Operating mostly in a very dark and visibility-challenged environment – we’ve made sure there’s good coverage by the LED lights on the machine, and visibility can be supplemented by optional high visibility tape placed on the truck.
The majority of all service and fluid level checks can be accomplished from ground level on this truck. The battery disconnect and engine lockout switches are located just behind the cab at ground level.
An engine shutdown switch is located near the engine and a second optional switch can be installed inside the cab.
Service access ports located on top of the engine end frame are accessible under service covers that are easy to open and close.
All walk areas on top of the machine have anti-skid surfaces, and three points of contact using strategically placed handrails are possible when climbing up on the machine.
A steering frame lock is conveniently located on the machine, along with dump and ejector body retaining pins and we offer optional lift cylinders guards.
