OVERVIEW
BENEFITS
-
Up To 5% More Power
- Lock-up clutch torque converter, combined with lock-to-lock shifting, delivers smooth shifts, fast acceleration and speed on grade. High capacity torque converter results in greater digging efficiency.
-
Designed for Operators
- New best-in-class operator environment provides unmatched comfort, visibility, and efficiency. Controls are easy to use, intuitive, and user-friendly.
-
Up To 25% Fuel Savings
- Engine burns less fuel by providing power and torque when needed. Load sensing hydraulics result in proportional flow for implement and steering on demand. Machine equipped with easy to load buckets.
FEATURES AT A GLANCE
RELIABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON
- Cat® C13 engine offers increased power.
- Utilizing rigorous component design and machine validation processes results in unmatched reliability, durability and high uptime.
LONG TERM VALUE AND DURABILITY
- Heavy-duty powershift transmission and axles handle extreme applications.
- Improved hydraulic hose routing reduces potential hose wear.
- Full flow hydraulic filtration system with additional loop filtration improves hydraulic system robustness and component life.
BUILT TO PERFORM
- Engine power increased by approximately 5% improves machine performance and response (compared to H Series).
- Lock-up clutch torque converter, combined with lock-to-lock shifting, delivers smooth shifts, fast acceleration and speed on grade.
- High capacity torque converter results in greater digging efficiency.
- Z-bar linkage provides high breakout force at ground level.
- Optional high lift linkage offers increased hinge pin height to load more easily in a variety of applications.
- Easy-to-load Performance Series Buckets feature a wider mouth and curved side plates that improve material retention (fill factor) and decrease cycle times.
- Optional limited slip differentials improve performance in the pile and poor underfoot conditions.
- Optional Aggregate Handler configuration offers slightly higher payload capability for loose aggregate rehandling.*
* Optional configurations and equipment may vary from region to region and requires conformance to Caterpillar payload policy. Consult your dealer or Caterpillar representative for details.
DO MORE WITH LESS FUEL
- Up to 25% lower fuel consumption than H Series.*
- Power dense engine burns less fuel by providing power and torque when needed.
- Performance Series Buckets feature a longer floor that easily digs through the pile resulting in lower fuel consumption.
- Load sensing hydraulics result in proportional flow for implement and steering on demand.
- Standard productive Economy Mode provides maximum fuel savings with minimal productivity impact.
* Actual results may vary based on factors such as, but not limited to, machine configuration, operator technique, machine application, climate, etc.
DESIGNED FOR OPERATORS
- New best-in-class operator environment provides unmatched comfort, visibility, and efficiency.
- Intuitive, ergonomic controls keep operators focused on their work.
- Optional new ride control system with dual accumulators provides excellent ride quality and lowers cab vibrations.
SAFELY HOME EVERY DAY
- Excellent cab access with wide door and stair-like steps.
- Floor to ceiling windshield, large mirrors with integrated spot mirrors and rear vision camera provide industry leading all-around visibility.
- Robust, repositioned grab bars provide safe access to the machine.
SAVE ON SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
- One-piece tilting hood with side and rear doors; hydraulic and electrical service centers make access fast and easy.
- Safe, ground level access to fuel fill and daily maintenance points means less servicing time is required.
- Optional, fully integrated Cat Autolube system provides full lube system monitoring and diagnostic test visibility.
TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS WORK DONE
- Monitor, manage and enhance job site operations.
- Cat LINK Technologies: VisionLink® enables owners to access data wirelessly to monitor machine health, utilization and location.
- Cat DETECT Technologies: Integrated rear vision camera enhances visibility behind machine to help operators work safely. Optional Cat Rear Object Detection increases operator awareness of the working environment which enhances site safety.
- Cat PAYLOAD Technologies: Optional Cat Production Measurement 2.0 brings simple and accurate on-the-go payload scale allowing operators to deliver exact loads and work more efficiently. Advanced Productivity subscription provides comprehensive actionable information to help you manage and improve the productivity and profitability of your operations.
