MAXIMIZE PERFORMANCE

Every Tier 4 Final/Stage IV and EU Stage V Cat engine is equipped with a combination of proven electronic, fuel, air and aftertreatment components.
Maximized uptime and reduced cost with world-class support from the Cat dealer network.
Minimized impact of emission systems: designed to be transparent to the operator without requiring interaction.
Delivering better fuel economy with minimized maintenance costs while providing the same great power and response.
Advanced MEUI-C injector platforms deliver increased injection pressures and more precise fuel rates. These durable injectors enhance responsiveness while controlling soot.
All Cat engines feature innovative air-management systems that optimize airflow and enhance power, efficiency and reliability.
The Cat NOx Reduction System (NRS) captures and cools a small quantity of exhaust gas, then routes it back into the combustion chamber where it drives down combustion temperatures and reduces NOx emissions.
Cat engines equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system inject Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust to reduce NOx emissions. DEF is a precisely mixed solution of 32.5 percent high purity chemical grade urea and 67.5 percent de-ionized water.

AUTOMATIC CONTROLS

Advanced Automatic Traction Control (AATC) engages inter and cross-axle differential locks on-the-go giving the operator optimum traction as conditions change.
Clutches release automatically to avoid conflict during tight turns.
AATC reduces tire and driveline wear, eliminating lost efficiency that can occur with improper manual operation.
The new ejector body eject/retract switch initiates automated control of machine systems to stop machine travel and eject the loaded material at proper rpm.
Hill Assist automatically engages the service brakes if the operator removes his foot from the brake pedal while on a grade reducing potential "roll-back ."
The waiting brake system automatically applies the service brakes when the neutral gear is selected, allowing easy control of machine functions at the load or dump area.

HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION

All three axles promote stability using oscillating a-frames with lateral tie rods. Operate at productive speeds with confidence while virtually eliminating impact loads on truck components.
The front suspension oscillates ±6° controlled by large-bore, low-pressure cylinders to assist in a smooth ride.
The rear suspension features a walking beam and long-life suspension mounts optimizing ride and load retention.
New fully enclosed wet disc brake systems inside of axles keeps contaminants out extending machine life and ensuring uptime.

OPERATOR COMFORT AND CONTROL

Spacious cab delivers comfort all shift long and is 4dB quieter than prior model.
Unique combination eject/transmission lever is intuitive and enhances cycle times with fewer control movements.
Trainer/passenger seat is fully padded with wide, retractable seat belt for security and comfort.
New large side storage box is heated/cooled by the HVAC system.
Air-suspension seat offers greater comfort, with a greater range of adjustments. Fore/aft isolation dramatically reduces vibrations and jolts. Every operator will find a adjustments to ensure comfort and control all shift long.
Standard cooling/heating system ensures comfort in all conditions.
Optional four-point seat belt is available to help operator stay in position and comfortable in rugged terrain.
Integrated, wrap-around dash means all gauges and controls are easy to monitor and access. Automotive feel with Caterpillar's renowned industrial strength.
Color display panel provides performance and condition pages, and includes video feed from the rearview camera and machine payload (when fitted).
Optional Bluetooth™ entertainment system allows operator to stay in hands-free phone contact.

BUILT TO PERFORM

Box section front frame absorb is stiff to handle torque loads. Frame design decreases stress at the hitch and optimizes suspension geometry.

Rear frame features twin-box construction minimizing stress points and enhancing service life.

Front axle suspension provides excellent ride via a three-point oscillating design.

Articulating/oscillating hitch provides steering control and keeps all wheels on the ground in the toughest terrain.

Ejector body design provides a large target area for consistent high-load carrying capacity increasing productivity. The blade and body aid in clean material discharge and avoiding carry-back.

Output transfer gear distributes power to tractor and trailer for optimum traction. Wet clutch ensures longevity.

Dual-circuit, all-wheel braking system uses full-power hydraulic system actuating enclosed, oil immersed, multi-disc brakes. Independent front and rear circuits and accumulators deliver smooth control.

Center axle parking brake is elevated away from damage. Spring applied with hydraulic release.

TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS WORK DONE

Cat Product Link wirelessly connect you to your equipment, giving you valuable insight into how your machine or fleet is performing. The system tracks location, hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, and diagnostic codes through the online VisionLink user interface so you can make timely, fact-based decisions to maximize efficiency, improve productivity, and lower costs.
Cat Production Measurement brings payload weighing to the cab to help optimize job site efficiency and productivity. Operators can view real-time load weights on the integrated display and know precisely when target is achieved, while cab-mounted external payload lights on all four corners signal the loader operator when to stop, reducing the risk of machine overloading. Operators can track daily productivity from the cab, with quick access to truck payload weights, loads and cycle counts, and daily totals; or remotely via LINK technologies.
Cat Detect with Stability Assist warns the operator if machine is approaching a pre-set angle during operation; when driving and tipping. If using the assisted hoist, the machine will stop hoisting the body and give an audible and visual warning. The system monitors angles of tractor, trailer and grade independently. This increases operator awareness of machine stability during operation. All tractor and/or trailer rollover events are logged and reported via VisionLink.

BECAUSE UPTIME COUNTS

Caterpillar design, manufacturing and customer service help ensure peak performance and uptime.
Long service intervals keep your machine operating.
Lubrication points are grouped near the hitch for fast, easy routine maintenance.
Universal joints are sealed and lubed for long life.
Optional Autolube system saves time and includes alerts via Product Link for low levels and fault codes.
Radiator package is located behind the cab for protection and uses extended-life coolant to stretch change intervals.
Electrical Service Center is located inside the cab and provides a power port, diagnostic connector and Cat Data Link connector for use with Electronic Technician (ET) software-equipped laptop computer.
Easy access to transmission, drive shafts, hydraulic pumps and electrical and hydraulic interfaces provided with tilt-to-side cab and access panel.
Service points are conveniently located on the left side of the engine, under the electrically raised hood.

MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Caterpillar designs and functions with great concern for the environment.
Cat C13 engine incorporates the Cat Clean Emission Module (CEM) to meet Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emission standards. The system uses both Ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel or up to B20 bio-diesel blended with ULSD.
All Cat C Series Articulated Trucks are designed for long lifecycles with machines using reman components and machine rebuilds to maximize use of every part, minimizing waste.
Volume of both hydraulic and engine oil systems has be reduced meaning less waste when oils are replaced.
