The electronic auto shift transmission increases operator efficiencies and optimizes machine performance. The operator can choose between manual or auto shift modes.

Transmission Neutralizer

Using the left brake pedal, the operator can engage the service brakes and neutralize the transmission, maintaining high engine rpm for full hydraulic flow, enhancing digging and loading functions.

Final Drives

Cat final drives work as a system with the planetary power shift transmission to deliver maximum power to the ground. Built to withstand the forces of high torque and impact loads, double reduction final drives provide high torque multiplication to further reduce drive train stress.

Oscillating Rear Axle

Oscillating rear axle ensures four-wheel ground contact for maximum traction and stability at all times.

Differential

No spin rear differential reduces tire wear and maximizes traction in uneven terrain.

Hydraulics – Cat hydraulics deliver the power and control to keep material moving.

Hydraulic System

Powerful Cat hydraulics deliver exceptional digging and lifting forces and fast cycle times.

Lift and Tilt System

High hydraulic flow rates provide fast hydraulic cylinder response and powerful lift forces. Large-bore tilt and lift cylinders deliver exceptional strength, performance and durability.

Pilot Controls

Low effort, pilot operated joystick implement control with simultaneous lift and tilt functions optimizes operating efficiency. Optional circuit controls enable ejector bucket to be controlled from a switch on the joystick.

Steering System

STIC™ control system integrates steering and transmission functions into a single controller for maximum responsiveness and smooth control.

Optional Ride Control

The optional ride control system uses a nitrogen filled oil accumulator in the hydraulic lift circuit to act as a shock absorber for the bucket and lift arms. The lift arm and bucket response to movement is dampened over rough ground, reducing fore and aft pitch, improving cycle times and load retention. A smoother, more comfortable ride gives operators the confidence to travel at speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph) during load and carry operations.

Cat Hydraulic Hose

Field proven Cat high pressure XT hydraulic hoses are exceptionally strong and flexible for maximum system reliability and long life in the most demanding conditions. Reusable couplings with O-ring face seals provide superior, leak free performance and prolong hose assembly life.

Frame Design

The frame is engineered to withstand extreme forces generated during loading and tramming cycles. Precision manufacturing process ensures all structures are consistently built to high quality. Deep penetration and consistent welds throughout the frame ensures structures are solidly fused to provide sturdy platform for the linkage and the axles. The design and manufacturing quality of Cat LHD frames have been proven by our customers, many of whom reuse frames during machine rebuilds to get 2nd and 3rd lives out of their LHD’s.

Hitch

Spread hitch design widens the distance between upper and lower hitch plates to distribute forces and increase bearing life. Thicker hitch plates reduce deflection. The wide opening provides easy service access. Upper and lower hitch pins pivot on roller bearings to distribute horizontal and vertical loads over a greater surface area. Shim adjusted preload reduces maintenance time. An on-board steering frame lock pin is fitted to prevent articulation during maintenance and service.

Sealed Pins

Sealed colleted pins are fitted to all major bucket and lift arm hinge points for longer pin and bushing life. This reduces maintenance costs and extends service intervals. The sealed joints retain lubrication and prevent contaminant entry.

Z-bar Loader Linkage

Proven Z-bar loader linkage geometry generates powerful breakout force and an increased rack back angle for better bucket loading and material retention. Heavy duty steel lift arms with cast steel cross tube ensures extreme loads encountered during loading and tramming are efficiently dissipated for long service life.

Operator Comfort – Ergonomically designed for all-day comfort, control and productivity.

The operator station is ergonomically designed for total machine control in a comfortable, productive and safe environment. All controls, levers, switches and gauges are positioned to maximize productivity and minimize operator fatigue.

Protective Structure

Integral to the cab and frame, the Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) and the Falling Objects Protective Structure (FOPS), are resiliently mounted to the frame to isolate the operator from vibration for a more comfortable ride.

Optional Enclosed Cab

Optional sound-suppressed ROPS cab provides a quiet, secure working environment. Large window openings offer excellent visibility in all directions. Enclosed design provides fresh, pressurized, temperature-controlled air circulation with air condition for a more comfortable working environment.

STIC Steering and Transmission Integrated Control

STIC provides effortless control of the complete mobility of the machine by single controller. Simple side-to-side motion articulates the machine. Directional shifting (forward/neutral/reverse) is controlled using a three position rocker switch. The thumb operated buttons control gear selection.

Dual-Pedal Braking

Dual brake pedals function as a brake and a transmission neutralizer so the operator can maintain high engine rpm for full hydraulic flow and fast cycle times.

Monitoring System

Cat Electronic Monitoring System (Cat EMS) continuously provides critical machine data to keep the machine performing at top production levels.

Loader Bucket Systems – Rugged performance and reliability in tough underground mining applications.

Buckets

Cat underground loader buckets are available in two styles to meet a range of loading, hauling and dumping conditions.

  • Dump buckets
  • Ejector buckets

Bucket Capacities

Buckets are available in a range of sizes and capacities to suit most material types and densities.

Optional Wear Packages

Weld-on wear plates in high wear areas are standard. Additional wear packages, including sacrificial wear strips and Cat heel shrouds protect the edges from damage and reduce the need for costly bucket rebuilds.

Optional Cutting Edges

Cat half arrow and cast half arrow cutting edges extend bucket life in high wear applications.

Additional GET option is the Cat weld-on GET. Available weld-on GET offers more wear material to maximize system wear life and bucket protection. Downtime is also reduced by an even wear rate between corners and edge segments, allowing both to be replaced at the same time.

Another available option in the Cat Bolt-on Half Arrow (BOHA) GET System allows a step up over the Cat Weld On (CWO) offering. With an industry recognized bolt-on retention system, this GET is designed for extreme conditions in abrasive environments where traditional Weld-on GET is subject to high wear rates.
