- Cat Planetary Powershift Transmission designed specifically for mining applications for consistent, smooth shifting and efficiency through integrated electronic controls, with three forward and three reverse speeds to match the application.
- Positive Flow Control Hydraulic System, which boosts efficiency; enables fast, productive cycles; increases bucket feel and control; and delivers consistent performance and efficiency with lower system heat.
- Cat C32B engine that delivers on-demand performance through the use of turbochargers and aftercoolers, with a 33% torque rise that ensures high lugging forces during digging and acceleration in high rimpull conditions.
FUEL EFFICIENCY
- Auto Idle Kickdown with Auto Resume, which reduces the engine speed to low idle when the machine has been throttle-locked at a higher engine speed and has been in an idle state for an extended period of time; automatically resumes engine speed to previous throttle lock speed when the operator begins working.
- Engine Idle Shutdown, which will automatically shut down the engine after extended periods of idling.
- Powertrain torque strategy (PTS), a machine control feature that controls engine speed to provide optimum torque converter output torque and reduce engine fuel consumption.

RELIABILITY
- Delayed Engine Shutdown feature, which protects engine components from shutting down if they are too hot, to extend turbocharger and engine life.
- Battery Management Strategy software control feature, which extends component life by shutting off electrical power to machine components when it has determined that the engine is not running.
- Overspeed Prevention, which prevents overspeed of the steering pump when the loader is traveling, supplementing machine retarding.
- Neutral Coast Inhibit, which inhibits shifting the transmission into neutral gear at high vehicle speeds, increasing service brake life and preventing coasting in neutral.
DURABILITY
- Field-proven solid-steel lift arms, which absorb high load stresses; feature one-piece castings that enhance strength in key pin areas; and are stress-relieved to increase durability and lengthen time to repair.
- Highly durable structures that achieve multiple lifecycles and withstand the toughest loading conditions, with full box-section rear frame and four-plate loader tower resists torsional shock and twisting forces to maximize the life of mounted components.
- Frame, powertrain, engine and components that all built to be rebuilt — using new, remanufactured or rebuilt parts and components — to deliver multiple lives of like-new performance at a fraction-of-new price.
TECHNOLOGY
- Optional Cat MineStar™ Terrain for loading, which provides real-time feedback on payloads and design plan progress to increases productivity and accuracy, reduce rework, enhance ore control and improve shift-to-shift operator performance.
- Optional MineStar Object Detection, which combines radar and camera systems to warn operators about light vehicles or stationary hazards within the immediate vicinity of their machines.
- Optional MineStar Health, which delivers critical event-based machine condition and operating data and includes comprehensive equipment health and asset monitoring capabilities, with a wide range of diagnostic, analytic and reporting tools.
