RELIABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON

Cat® C7.1 engine offers increased power density with a combination of proven electronic, fuel, and air systems.
Equipped with automatic Cat regeneration system, Cat Clean Emissions Module (CEM) with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank and pump.
Thorough component design and machine validation processes result in unmatched reliability and uptime.

ACHIEVE GREATER PRODUCTIVITY

The proven Cat Z-bar linkage geometry with Performance Series Buckets offer excellent penetration into the pile and high breakout forces. Combined with best-in-class standard dump clearan ce, this results in low fuel consumption and exceptional production capabilities.
Cat designed, electronically controlled, automatic powershiftcountershaft transmission features shift protection and is equipped with a split flow oil system for efficiency, durability, and smoother gear changes.

DO MORE WITH LESS FUEL

Engine Idle Management System (EIMS) and Auto Engine Idle Shutdown (EIS) maximize fuel efficiency by reducing engine rpm after a specified amount of idle time.
Electronically controlled, hydraulically driven variable speed fan adjusts to meet the varying cooling requirements of the machine. This results in a reduced average fan speed, lowering fuel consumption, noise levels, and radiator plugging.

DESIGNED FOR OPERATORS

The spacious cab features easy, intuitive controls and excellent visibility which provides a comfortable working environment for efficient all day operation.
Pilot-operated hydraulic implement controls deliver comfortable, low-effort operation. Two single-axis levers or one joystick are available. Both arrangements are equipped with kick-down switches.

SAFELY HOME EVERY DAY

Ladders are standard on both sides of the machine to easily access the platforms.
Platforms are equipped with guard- and handrails for safe access to the cab.
The main cab door opens to the front and provides wide access to the operator environment.
Front and back wipers ensure that a clear view is maintained.

SAVE ON SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Grouped service points and sight gauges allow for easy daily maintenance.
Convenient access to left, right, and rear of engine compartment provides excellent serviceability.
Electrical and hydraulic service centers, along with additional key serviceability features, help make servicing and in-field component exchange quick, easy, and efficient.

CAT PRODUCTION MEASURMENT KIT

This optional kit is simple to install compared to other 3rd party payload systems*.
On-the-go weighing** for precise load targets with provenaccuracy, flexible installation, and easy calibration and setup.
Brings payload weighing to the cab so operators can work more productively and deliver consistently accurate loads.
