Benefits & Features

Engine

Cat 3126B Diesel Engine

The Cat 3126B diesel engine is a six cylinder, four-cycle design that provides long, effective power strokes for high torque and more complete fuel combustion. The 3126B is rated at 95 net kW (128 net hp) at 2000 rpm. The 3126B is equipped with an electronic air inlet heater. The heater warms the air in the air inlet manifold for easier starting and reduced white smoke on cold starts.

Rear Engine Location

Rear engine location allows excellent forward visibility, while serving as a working counterweight. It also helps reduce radiator plugging while providing easy service access to the engine and other major components.

Fuel System

The Hydraulic-actuated Electronic Unit Injection (HEUI) is a unique and proven high-pressure, direct injection fuel system for diesel engines. High injection pressures and short injection duration provide fast response, clean burning and added fuel savings.

ADEM™ III

The Advanced Diesel Engine Management - Electronic Control Module continuously monitors important engine conditions and functions. It precisely controls each time the HEUI injects fuel into a cylinder and signals the machine Electronic Monitoring System (EMS III) if a problem occurs with the engine.

Turbocharger and Aftercooler

A well-matched turbocharger and air-to-air aftercooler results in increased power. The exhaust driven turbocharger packs more air into the cylinders, while the air-to-air aftercooler cools the pressurized air from the turbocharger, making the engine intake air denser. The increased air in the cylinders results in more power, improved combustion, and reduced exhaust emissions.

Extended Life Design

The engine features an extended life design including seven main bearings that provide a large bearing surface area to distribute force loads in the engine. Durable single piece aluminum alloy pistons are standard for long life.

Cooling System

The cooling system incorporates into a single cooling unit the hydraulic oil cooler, the engine radiator, and the air-to-air aftercooler. By locating the cooling system in the rear of the loader, they are away from the dust and debris stirred up by the bucket while working.

Starting System

The ADEM III controller controls the electric starter motor and the starter relay. The ADEM III prevents fuel from being supplied for starting until sufficient oil pressure is present. This prevents wear on the bearings due to operating without adequate lubrication.

Hydrostatic Drive

Shifting

The hydrostatic drive eliminates the need for transmission shifting, which allows the operator to concentrate on working, maneuvering, and production.

Machine Speed

The Electronic Hydrostatic Control (EHC) automatically adjusts machine speed to give the equipment hydraulic system priority, while the hydrostatic system takes advantage of all remaining engine power.

Electronic Hydrostatic Control (EHC)

The EHC maintains engine rpm in optimum operating range and balances the two track drive systems for straight travel without machine drift.

Electronic Monitoring System (EMS III)

The EHC interfaces with the EMS III for system diagnostics and calibrations. It is self-diagnosing, and fully compatible with Electronic Technician (Cat ET) software. This allows quick and easy calibrations and troubleshooting.

Variable Displacement Pumps and Drive Motors

Variable displacement pumps and variable displacement drive motors are electronically controlled by the EHC, offering high efficiency and precise travel. Each track is independently driven by a separate hydraulic circuit consisting of one variable displacement pump, connected by Cat XT-6™ hydraulic hose and couplings to a variable displacement piston motor.

Separate Hydraulic Pumps

Separate hydraulic pumps offer easy servicing.

Maneuverability

Independent power is provided to each track, which provides great maneuverability, speed, and side slope operation. Controlling independent power and speed for each track allows the operator to maintain full power to both tracks while turning, achieving a “Power Turn”. Power Turns allow increased productivity when dozing or backfilling. For additional maneuverability, the operator can use counter rotation, which allows spot turns in tight locations.

Travel Speeds

Travel speeds are infinitely variable between zero and top speed. Two speed modes, "travel mode" and "work mode", provide two different speed ranges to best match machine speed and torque to the job conditions for maximum productivity.

Operator Station

1. Heating and Air Conditioning

The air circulation system delivers filtered, pressurized, and temperature-controlled air through 10 louvered vents. Air conditioning is standard on cab-equipped machines. Heater with controls is standard on both cab and canopy-equipped machines.

2. Caterpillar Air-suspension Seat

The Caterpillar air-suspension seat, with side-to-side isolator, is ergonomically designed and fully adjustable for maximum operator comfort and control. Cushioned side bolsters prevent side movement. The backrest centerline conforms to the operator's spinal curve. The contoured base curves away from lower back to reduce pressure. Retractable seat belt is 75 mm (3 in) wide for positive, comfortable restraint.

3. Storage Space

Storage spaces include a lockable storage box, a lunch box compartment, beverage holder, and coat hook.

4. Armrests

Adjustable armrests can be positioned up or down. The right armrest is adjustable forward and backward. Each armrest can be inclined to different angles for excellent operator comfort and control.

5. Dash Board

The newly designed smooth, rounded dashboard with integral defroster vents, provide all of the necessary functions and instrumentation within the operator's normal line of sight.

6. Hydrostatic Drive System Controls

The hydrostatic drive system controls allow quick speed and directional changes from a single control lever for maximum maneuverability. Pedal steering allows precise control of each track independently and on demand counter rotation. The brake pedal is supplemental to dynamic hydraulic braking provided by the hydrostatic drive system.

7. Speed Switches

The speed mode switch (B) allows the operator to choose between "work mode" for fine control, and "travel mode" for maximum drive speed, to best match the machine speed to various job conditions. The electronic engine speed selector switch (A) is used by the operator to set engine RPM.

8. Pilot Operated Controls

Pilot operated implement controls allow easier operation and greater productivity. Choice of single-lever pilot control (standard) or two-lever (optional) is available for bucket lift and dump. Automatic adjustable magnetic lift and bucket kickouts allow the operator to concentrate on positioning the machine, resulting in higher productivity.

9. Viewing Area

The viewing area includes tinted glass to reduce glare and provides an excellent visibility to the bucket, tracks, and around the engine enclosure to the rear. Sun visor, windshield wipers and washers are all standard features on the cab. The front wiper has variable speed, intermittent control.

10. Rearview Mirror

The rearview mirror is located above the front windshield, maximizing the operator's visibility.

Radio Installation Arrangement

The optional radio installation arrangement includes a 24 to 12 volt converter and speakers. A heavy-duty AM/FM radio/cassette player is also available.

Dome Light

A dome light is located above the left door.

ROPS/FOPS

Sound-suppressed Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS)/Falling Objects Protective Structure (FOPS) cab is resiliently mounted for reduced vibration and a quiet working environment. The steel roof, which was previously available as an option, is now standard.

Machine Security System

The Caterpillar Machine Security System (MSS), an anti-theft feature, is available as an attachment. When installed, a microchip is imbedded in the rubber grip of the key. The engine can only be started if the key has the appropriate pre-programmed microchip.

Light Guard

A screened light guard is available as an attachment to protect the ROPS mounted lights and the front of the roof.

Operator Sound Levels

The cab is isolated from structural noises by its resilient mounting. Extra insulation materials are added to block noise transmission into the cab.

Electronic Monitoring System (EMS III)

Electronic Monitoring System (EMS III) Functions

The Caterpillar EMS III offers three main functions. These include quick and simple calibration of the hydrostatic drive system, prevention of damage by alerting the operator if a machine fault has occurred, and monitoring of hydrostatic and electrical systems to aid service personnel in troubleshooting and repairs.

Gauge Cluster

The gauge cluster contains four gauges, which monitor: · Engine coolant temperature · Pump drive oil temperature · Hydraulic tank oil temperature · Fuel level

Alert Indicators

The alert indicator cluster groups the individual alert indicators for: · Low fuel pressure · Case drain filter bypass · Charge filter bypass · High pump drive (Splitter Box)oil temperature · Low hydrostatic system charge pressure · Low engine oil pressure · Check engine detected by the ADEM III · Low/high alternator output · System warning for hydrostatic drive system · Air inlet heater activated

Digital Message Display

The digital display can show the operator's choice of hour meter, engine rpm, odometer, or service codes.

Three Level Warning System

EMS III also functions as a warning system with three levels of warning.

EMS III - Self-test

The EMS III self-test verifies that the main display module is operating properly every time the key start switch is turned from the "off" to the "on" position.

Undercarriage

Undercarriage

The oscillating track roller frame design decreases ground induced impact loads to the machine, increases machine stability on rough terrain, and provides a smoother, more comfortable ride for the operator.

Pivot Shaft

Steel pivot shafts attach the rear ends of the track roller frames to the loader mainframe and carry most of the weight. The pivot shafts transfer ground induced shock loads from the track roller frames to the loader mainframe rather than through the final drives. The result is longer final drive life.

Track and Carrier Rollers

Six track rollers spread the machine weight over a larger area. This improves stability and provides a more comfortable ride for the operator. A single upper carrier roller on each side mounts to the machine mainframe. This mounting arrangement helps resist mud packing of the undercarriage.

Track Adjuster

The track adjuster and mechanical recoil system uses a large recoil spring and grease filled adjustment cylinder, which allows the idler to move forward and back to maintain proper track tension as it absorbs undercarriage shock loads.

Equalizer Bar

The equalizer bar is pinned in its center to the machine mainframe and at the ends to each track roller frame. This allows the forward ends of the track roller frames to oscillate, or move vertically, to keep more track on the ground in uneven underfoot conditions. The equalizer bar also provides a more stable work platform for the operator, who will be comfortable working at faster speeds for increased productivity.

Swing-Link Idler

Permits horizontal idler movement, absorbing shock loads and maintaining proper track tension, while eliminating the need for shims and wear strips. The removal of wear strips eliminates a point of service and maintenance. Cat idler provide superior structural support

Sealed and Lubricated Track

Sealed and lubricated track keeps maintenance costs down by reducing pin and internal bushing wear, which can extend the life of the track and the undercarriage components. Lubricating the pin helps reduce component friction for less track noise and greater power train efficiency.

Rotating Bushing Track

Rotating Bushing Track is designed to extend system life and lower costs in highly abrasive low to moderate impact applications. RBT features bushings, which rotate when in contact with the sprocket, greatly reducing bushing and sprocket wear. This design eliminates bushing turn maintenance expense. Rotating Bushing Track is available as optional undercarriage.

Track Links

The standard track links are the newest generation of Extended Wear Life (EWL) track. Included is more wear material for longer track life. A two-piece, split master link allows easy track removal and installation.

Sprockets

The Tough Steel™ sprocket segments are a new addition, extending sprocket segment life. The five segments are bolted onto each final drive sprocket hub. Segments can be removed or replaced without breaking the track. Driven by every second sprocket tooth, the track chain makes two complete revolutions before each tooth contacts a bushing once. The result is long, even wear of the sprocket teeth.

Shoe Options

There are several shoe options to choose from with the Caterpillar oscillating undercarriage. Wide, double grouser is now standard. Consult your Cat dealer for more information.

Structure

Mainframe and Loader Tower

The mainframe and loader tower is a single, welded fabrication with castings and forgings incorporated at points of high stress to distribute those stresses over wide areas for long structural life.

Design

Strong box-section mainframe design, with continuous, deep-penetration welds resist twisting loads to protect components from excessive wear or damage without adding extra weight to the machine. The frame rails consist of two box sections, which are joined at the rear by a box-section cross member. Mounting points for the final drives, pivot shafts, and operator's platform are integrated into each mainframe side rail.

Four-Plate Loader Tower

The four-plate loader tower is integral with the basic mainframe. The loader tower distributes forces evenly from the lift arms to the mainframe, which eliminates twisting for maximum structural durability. The loader tower provides solid mounting points for lift arms, lift cylinders, and Z-Bar tilt cylinder.

Castings

Steel Castings (shown in red) are used in areas of high stress concentration. Large radius curves dissipate stresses that could cause fatigue and cracking.

Steel Frame

Fatigue resistant steel frame sections along with castings provide flexibility, durability and excellent resistance to impact loads.

Durability

Structures are designed to provide durability and extended service life to support multiple rebuilds.

Z-Bar Linkage

Breakout force is exceptionally high due to mechanical advantage of Z-bar linkage design, and hydraulic pressure applied to the head end of the tilt cylinder. Using a single tilt cylinder and linkage provides the operator a better view of the work area, bucket, and cutting edge.

Simultaneous Lift and Dump

Simultaneous lift and dump for fast truck loading and smooth grading, and the ability to meter material from bucket.

Return-to-Dig

The "Return-to-dig" switch assembly is located on the tilt cylinder and rod. It sets the angle the bucket will return to after it is dumped, when the bucket lever is placed in the Tilt-back -- hold position.

Lift Arms

The two arms are welded into a single unit, using a weld-fabricated cross-tube. The fabricated cross-tube and tilt lever use forging at high stress points to spread the loads for long life.

Work Tools

Versatility

The large variety of tasks an operator can perform with the standard machine and attachments has lead to the Caterpillar track loader's reputation for versatility.

General Purpose Bucket

The General Purpose (GP) bucket is designed for excellent loadability and long life in applications such as hard bank excavating, stripping, and stockpile loading. High-strength, low-alloy steel helps the bucket resist dents and abrasions. Shell-tine reinforcements support the rear of the bucket for increased structural strength.

Multi-Purpose Buckets

The Multi-purpose (MP) bucket is designed for a broad range of applications, such as loading, stripping, clearing, bulldozing, picking up debris, and fine grading. The bucket clamps hydraulically to grip logs or handle other tough-to-grasp materials.

Pallet Forks

When used with a quick coupler, Pallet Forks increase the versatility of the machine. Thay are ideal for handling a variety of materials. Various tine arrangements and top clamps are available.

Ripper-Scarifier

The ripper-scarifier adds extra versatility to expand the application of the machine. Hinged-type, with three shanks, beam mounted with two pins pressed into each side of the mainframe. Raised and lowered with two wide-mounted cylinders. Six-pin linkage requires no lubrication.

Bucket Protection Options

Caterpillar offers several types of adapters, tips, and cutting edges, which increase bucket life and maximize performance. (1) Bolt-on adapters, tips, and bolt-on reversible edge segments provide a clean working floor and increase bucket capacity. Heavy-duty segments are available with 62 percent more wear material than standard segments. (2) Bolt-on, 2-strap adapters, and tips, including corner adapters, offer excellent penetration. (3) Bolt-on, reversible, cutting edges are ideal when penetration is not a consideration, such as in clean-up work or stockpiling applications. (4) Weld-on, top-strap adapters are also available with a GP bucket. They are flush-mounted with the bottom of the cutting edge to provide a smooth bucket bottom and unrutted work surface. These adapters can be used with any of the tip options (not with a bolt-on protection system).

Tip Options

Caterpillar GET offers a variety of tips to better accommodate your needs in any working environment, whether that is high impact or general-purpose applications. These and other GET options are available from your Caterpillar Dealer.

Special Application Arrangements
