Benefits & Features
Power Train
Engine
Proven Cat engines provide the power and torque rise for excellent lugging in tough loading conditions.
Variable Horsepower
Variable horsepower comes standard and increases engine performance by setting injection timing to the optimum at every speed and load point.
Torque Rise
The torque rise provides high lugging force during acceleration and less down-shifting on grade or in rough underfoot conditions.
Fuel System
The fuel system and Electronic Control Module on the 3412E tractor engine and 3408E scraper engine economically and precisely deliver fuel.
Injection Pressures
High injection pressures, independent of engine speed, decrease smoke and emissions while improving response.
Variable Injection Timing
Variable injection timing and duration improve fuel efficiency and cold starting, decrease smoke and emissions.
Injection Rate Shaping
Injection rate shaping reduces emission and engine noise.
Mechanical Parts
Fewer mechanical parts in the fuel system improves reliability.
Electronic Control
Electronic control provides automatic altitude deration and automatic air filter restriction deration.
Neutral Start Control
Neutral start control prevents engine from starting unless transmission is in neutral.
Throttle Back-up
Throttle back-up provides the operator with a preset engine speed control in the event of a throttle input failure.
The Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injection (HEUI)
The HEUI (Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injection) is a unique and proven high-pressure, direct injection fuel system.
HEUI Fuel System
HEUI (Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injection) fuel system incorporates rate shaping technology which modifies the heat release characteristics of the combustion process for significant decreases in combustion sound and emission levels.
Directional Shift Management
Directional shift management prevents the operator from shifting out of neutral when engine rpm is above a preset level.
Controlled Throttle Shifting
Controlled throttle shifting increases drivetrain life by reducing the fuel injection rate just prior to shifting.
Automatic Ether Starting Aid
Automatic ether starting aid greatly improves cold weather starting.
Electronic Ground Level Shutoff
Electronic ground level shutoff enables the operator to stop the engine from the ground with the flip of a switch.
Steel Spacer Plate
Steel spacer plate between the block and head eliminates the need for counterbores and helps prevent associated cracking problems.
Oil-Cooled Pistons
Oil-cooled pistons and full-length water-cooled cylinder liners provide maximum heat transfer for longer component life.
Aftercooler
The aftercooler lowers intake charge air temperature to increase power and reduce thermal stresses that can cause premature wear of pistons, rings, and liners.
Engine Oil Cooler
Engine oil cooler maintains optimum oil temperature for proper cooling and longer lubricant life.
Laminated Thermo-Shield
Laminated thermal-shield improves tractor protection by reducing the temperature of exposed engine surfaces, cools engine and operating compartments, extends hose and wiring life.
Transmission
Eight-speed power shift transmission provides automatic, on-the-go shifting for simple, reliable operation.
Neutral Coast Inhibitor Control
Neutral coast inhibitor control helps prevent the transmission from shifting to neutral at speeds above 8.1 km/h (5 mph).
Top Gear Control
Top gear control helps prevent shifting above a programmed gear to better regulate haul road speeds.
Electronic Programmable Transmission Control (EPTC II)
Electronic Programmable Transmission Control (EPTC II) records both current and intermittent faults.
Retarder
The standard retarder can extend brake life.
Check Engine Indicator
Check engine indicator informs the operator of engine conditions and aids in problem diagnosis.
Electronically Controlled Cushion Hitch
Design
The Caterpillar electronically controlled cushion hitch design dampens shocks to provide a smoother ride.
Rocker Switch
Electronic rocker switch located on the multi actuates cushion hitch from within the cab.
Cushion Hitch Lock
Electronically controlled cushion hitch locks down for positive control of the cutting edge during loading and dumping.
Double Kingbolt Design
Double kingbolt design withstands high external forces and allows easy installation and removal.
Hitch Castings
Extensive use of steel castings eliminates many welded joints, making a strong hitch.
Scraper Bowl
Edge
Wide cutting edge scoops large volume loads from shallow cuts, while the low-profile design of the bowl offers less resistance to incoming materials.
Construction
Cellular construction adds strength and dent resistance to bowl sides and floor.
Steel Router
Steel router and edge supports, floor plates and high-abuse components are tempered for strength.
Bulldozer Ejection system
Cat bulldozer ejection system combines constant spreading control with bowl-cleaning efficiency.
Angled Top Plate
Angled top plate on ejector helps retain load.
Quick Drop Bowl
Quick drop bowl lowers bowl quickly. Carry check safety feature helps prevent bowl dropping in case of line failure.
Ejector and Apron
Bowl ejector and apron feature box section design with integral casting, increasing dent-resistance wear life and overall rigidity.
Apron Design
Apron design is curved and carries approximately one-third of the load to better utilize space and enhance loading.
Coal Bowl
Coal bowl is available, offering increased volume for use with light-weight materials.
Scraper Auger
Handling Flexibility
The auger is able to handle a wider variety of materials compared to conventional elevating scrapers.
Support Fleet
The auger eliminates the need for a large support fleet.
Hydraulic System
The auger has a single hydraulic system for the entire machine with separate implement pumps/valves.
Minimal Parasitic Loss
Minimal parasitic loss due to auger increase hydraulic demand.
Slip Limiter Switch
A slip limiter switch prevents rear wheel spin during loading.
Landfill Applications
The auger arrangement is ideally suited for landfill applications.
Compaction
The auger improves material mixing for greater compaction in the dump area.
Minimal Dust and Noise
The auger minimizes dust and noise during loading.
Hydraulically Driven
The auger mechanism is hydraulically driven and controlled by a switch on the apron lever in the operator's compartment.
Operator's Station
Cab
Standard rubber-mounted cab reduces noise and vibration for comfortable, shift-long operation.
Controls
Low-effort controls are easily accessible for sure, precise operation.
Steering
Hydraulic servo-steering system provides low-effort automotive feel and excellent maneuverability.
Steering Column
Tilt steering column adjusts to five different positions for operator comfort and control.
Seat
A suspension seat delivers a comfortable ride.
Electronic Monitoring System
The Electronic Monitoring System checks important machine systems and provides a three-level warning.
Radio
The operator's station includes radio compatible wires in the cab.
Multifunction Bowl Lever
Multifunction bowl lever gives operators the ability to control important scraper functions without removing their hands from the bowl lever.
Engine Overspeed Indicator Light
Engine overspeed indicator light and alarm sound when the engine rpm exceeds 2700.
Features
Standard air conditioning keeps operator comfortable and productive. The turn signals in the cab are also standard.
Serviceability
Fuel Tank
Scraper-mounted fuel tank improves access to tractor engine compartment.
Wiring Harness
Improved wiring harness incorporates color coded and numbered circuits for quick identification, minimum 10-amp fuses and improved connectors.
Diagnostic Connector
Diagnostic connector, with the aid of a service tool, allows quick analysis of the starting and charging circuits.
O-Ring Face Seals
O-ring face seals help keep these machines 'dry'.
Centralized Lubrication Blocks
