Overview

Outmaneuver Every Job You Tackle

A single lever joystick control is all that is needed to control speed, direction and steering on Cat 939C Hystat Track-type Loaders.

Power Train

Hystat Power Train System

Quick response and acceleration plus better maneuverability decrease cycle times and increase productivity.

Caterpillar 3046 Diesel Engine

Smooth, responsive power, excellent fuel economy and lasting reliability.

Track Motors

The high pressure motors are 2-speed type (turtle/rabbit). The Hystat motors convert hydraulic power to mechanical power.

Hydraulic Lines

Hydraulic Lines XT-6 hose is used to connect pumps and motors. O-ring face seals ensure tight and reliable connections throughout the Hystat system.

Power Train Oil

One filter is located in the charge pump outlet from each of the hystat pumps. This location assures that all oil is filtered before entering the piston rotating group portion of the hystat circuit.

Parking Brakes

The parking brakes are a multi-disc design. These parking brakes are spring applied and hydraulically released.

Final Drives

The Hystat final drive is a double-reduction unit, similar in design to that of the current hydrostatic track loaders.

Cooling System

The cooling package is a stacked configuration, with the configuration of fan - oil cooler - radiator. The blower fan forces cooling air first through the oil cooler then through the radiator.

Drive Pumps

The pumps are over-center style, providing forward and reverse directions by changing the direction of flow from the pumps, and are controlled by a hydraulic pilot control system (joystick).

Hydraulic System

Hydraulic System

    • 50 percent increased pump flow provides faster cycle times, resulting in more work done per hour
    • Larger lift cylinders deliver 26 percent more lift force for tough loading applications
    • Improved bucket control provides multi-function capabilities for fast truck loading and spreading applications
    • Reduced bucket control lever efforts provide lower operator fatigue

Hystat Control

Joystick Control

The joystick control is simple and easy to understand. With it, you will control the direction, speed, and steering of your 939C Hystat track loader. The joystick is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. Control effort is minimal, so much so that you might find yourself using your fingertips.

Direction/speed

Machine direction and speed are easy to handle with the four easy movements on the joystick.

Steering

With the machine moving in forward or reverse, moving the joystick to the right results in the machine turning to the right; moving the joystick to the left causes the machine to move to the left.

Operator Station

Canopy

Take the opportunity to work comfort-ably and productively, day-in and day-out. Whether you equip your loader with an open canopy or an optional cab, you'll find thoughtfully positioned controls and a variety of other convenience features.

Ease of Operation

All major machine work functions can be accomplished with just two hands.

Reduced Operator Fatigue

Low control lever efforts help increase operator productivity each day. Day after day.

Hystat joystick control

Hystat joystick control gives you the power to control steering, direction and speed all with your left hand. Easily switch from turtle/rabbit mode with the toggle switch located on top of the joystick. Activate the horn by pressing the button beneath the turtle/rabbit toggle switch.

Joystick hold control

Joystick hold control holds the joystick in any forward/reverse position, freeing the operator's left hand.

Hystat center pedal

Hystat center pedal may be used to either slow down or stop the machine. Adjustable foot rests provide a great place for your feet to relax while working.

Single lever lift and tilt control

Single lever lift and tilt control improves efficiency. Needle bearings on all major pivot points and valve spools with precision metering help ensure precise, lasting control.

Governor control

High to low setting allows you to set engine speed at the desired RPM. Hystat loaders can be operated at any RPM.

Dash panel

Dash panel has five individual, analog gauges, providing fluid level and temperature information at a glance. All gauges are back-lighted.

A suspension seat

A suspension seat is standard on all 939C track loaders and is equipped with a seat belt and an adjustable backrest.

Armrests are adjustable

Armrests are adjustable fore and aft, as well as up and down to best suit your preferred operating position.

Vandalism protection guarding

Vandalism protection guarding on canopy models folds down under the dash for storage, and is raised over the dash and padlocked when needed.

Cab

The pressurized cab is sealed to keep dust out and sound to a minimum, resulting in a quiet working environment. Nine adjustable vents keep air circulating and improve the cab's heating, optional air conditioning, and defrost/defog capabilities.

Tinted windows

Tinted windows. A continuous, three-piece glass windshield and a large, single-piece door glass provide excellent visibility to the work site. Large, sliding right and rear side windows provide excellent flow-through ventilation.

Control Console

Control console is back-lighted and contains controls for cab temperature, fan speed, the front/rear window washers, and two-speed wipers. A cigarette lighter and ashtray are also included.

An optional Caterpillar Contour Series Seat

An optional Caterpillar Contour Series seat, with a retractable seat belt, is the premium seat option and is designed for maximum comfort and fully-adjustable support. Ergonomically shaped seat cushions reduce pressure on the lower back and thighs, while allowing unrestricted arm and leg movement. Contour Series seats are available in cloth for use in cab, or vinyl when used in open canopy.

Other cab conveniences include:

    • Radio ready factory installed components, including speakers, an antenna, and all wiring/brackets
    • Tie-downs for secure lunch box storage
    • Sunvisor
    • Rearview mirror
    • Dome light
    • Coat hook

Center Brake Pedal

The center brake pedal is located towards the floor of the operator's compartment (cab and OROPS) and can be used to stop the machine by pressing the pedal all the way down.

Footrests

Since Hystat track loaders are not steered with foot pedals, two footrests, one on each side of the center brake pedal, are provided for enhanced operator comfort. Footrests are also adjustable.

Bucket Control

A single lever control handle is used to control the bucket. The control lever operates on two axis: fore/aft for bucket lift, side to side for bucket tilt.

Bucket and Lift Arms

Buckets

Rugged construction along with powerful, matched hydraulics provide excellent breakout force and lift capacities for maximum production capabilities and load handling.

Arms

Solid-plate lift arms provide strength and durability for excellent lift and breakout capacities.

Undercarriage

Undercarriage is designed and built by Caterpillar for long wear life and low owning and operating costs.

Standard undercarriage

    • A general purpose undercarriage that performs well in applications with firm underfoot conditions.
    • Standard shoe width: 406 mm (16 in) double grouser.
        Optional shoe width: 460 mm (18 in) double grouser.

Updated Rear Track

The new guarding prevents material ingestion into the sprocket and rear roller area. The result is the introduction of bolt-on rear guiding guards which enhance rear guiding due to increased length over current rear guiding guards.

Updated Recoil Guards

The recoil guards protect the recoil mechanism from impact damage and reduce the amount of abrasives entering critical wear areas.

Double Flange Bottom Rollers

The double flange bottom roller group serves the same function as the single flange group, but it is designed with an additional outboard flange to increase its guiding ability.

Track

The track group serves to transfer power from the final drive to the ground through the use of links, bushings, pins, and shoes.

Optional Full Length Track Roller Guards

In order to increase the protection of the roller wear surfaces from abrasives and rocks, full length track roller guards are offered as an attachment for all undercarriage configurations.
