Product Safety -
Caterpillar has been and continues to be proactive in developing mining machines that meet or exceed safety standards. Safety is an integral part of all machine and systems designs.
Engine Shutoff Switch -
A secondary engine shutoff switch is located at ground level.
Integral ROPS Cab -
Integral to the cab and frame, the ROPS is resiliently mounted to the frame to isolate the operator from vibration for a more comfortable ride.
Brake Systems -
Four corner oil-cooled braking system provides excellent control. The service brakes and retarding system are actuated by modulated hydraulic pressure, while the parking brake function is spring applied and hydraulic released. This system assures braking in the event of loss of hydraulic pressure.
Operator Present System -
The Operator Present System helps to protect the machine and operator from uncontrolled movements. The system automatically engages the parking brake, neutralizes the steering, implement and transmission control, and shuts down the engine in the event operator fails to apply the park brake prior to exiting the cab. The engine shutdown configuration can be changed by your Cat dealer using the Cat ET service tool.
