FEATURES & ADVANTAGES
-
STEERING AND TRANSMISSION INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM (STIC™)
Simple side-to-side motion turns machine right or left, minimizing operator movements. Easy to operate finger controlled gear selection. Smoother, faster cycles and less operator fatigue through the use of low effort integrated controls. -
CAT® PLANETARY POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION
Consistent, smooth shifting and efficiency through integrated electronic controls. Long life and reliability through heat treat gear and metallurgy. Three forward and three reverse speeds to match your application. -
POSITIVE FLOW CONTROL HYDRAULICS
Fast, productive cycles are enabled by the fully variable implement pump. Increase bucket feel and control through increased hydraulic response. Consistent performance and efficiency with lower system heat. -
ELECTRO HYDRAULIC CONTROLS
Operate comfortably through electronically controlled hydraulic cylinder stops. Handle easy-to-use soft detent controls. Conveniently set automatic implement kickouts from inside the cab. -
STEERING SYSTEM
Increase efficiency with our variable displacement piston pumps. Achieve precise positioning for easy loading in tight areas with 35 degrees of steering articulation. Enhance operator comfort with integrated steering and transmission control functions. -
ENTRY AND EXIT
Enter and exit the cab easily and safely with these newly designed, ergonomic features: Fold up STIC steer/armrest, reduced access stairway angles and standard stairway lighting. -
CAT COMFORT SERIES III SEAT
Mid back design and extra thick, contoured cushions. Air suspension system. Easy-to-reach seat levers and controls for six way adjustments. Seat-mounted implement pod and STIC steer that moves with the seat. -
ROBUST STRUCTURES
Full box-section rear frame resists torsional shock and twisting forces. Heavy-duty steering cylinder mounts efficiently transmit steering loads into the frame. Axle mounting has been optimized for increased structural integrity. -
LIFT ARMS
Excellent visibility to the bucket edges and work area through a Z-bar design. High load stresses are absorbed by the solid steel lift arms. Enhance strength in key pin areas through the use of one piece castings. -
CAT C27 ACERT ENGINE
Fully integrated electronic engine controls works in concert with the entire machine to make your fuel go farther. Use less fuel idling with Engine Idle Shutdown. Maximized durability with Delayed Engine Shutdown. -
CAT PLANETARY POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION
Maximize your uptime with the proven planetary power shift transmission. Improved shift quality, component life and operator comfort with our electronic transmission controls. -
IMPELLER CLUTCH TORQUE CONVERTER (ICTC)
Enable your operators to maximize efficiency by varying machine rimpull while putting more horsepower to hydraulics. Enables full throttle shifts for faster cycle times. Provides smooth approach to the dump target for less spillage and faster cycle times. -
CAT PRODUCT LINK™
Cat Product Link allows remote monitoring of equipment to improve overall fleet management effectiveness. -
VIMS™ 3G
We have worked hard to help our customers and operators perform at their best through our Vital Information Management System (VIMS 3G).
