SAFETY

Standard Operator Present System, which protects the machine and operator from uncontrolled machine movements, with hydraulic system neutralization and door sensor.
Optional reverse and cab loading cameras, plus additional camera mounted on the right-hand side to enhance visibility for the EU Stage V model.
Safer access and egress with anti-skid upper deck surfaces, upper deck handrails and 3-point cabin and machine access.
Four corner oil-cooled braking system that provides excellent control, with service brake system actuated by hydraulic pressure and parking brake function that is spring applied and hydraulic released to ensure braking in the event of loss of hydraulic failure.
Safer service with service with steering frame lock, body retaining pins, exhaust heat shielding and firewall fitted, hitch hydraulic hoses fitted with burst protection sleeves, tailgate retaining pins (ejector body), and hot and cold side of engine.

OPERATOR COMFORT & CONTROL

Controls, levers, switches and gauges positioned to maximize productivity and minimize fatigue.
Optional sound-suppressed ROPS cab for a quiet, secure and comfortable air-conditioned working environment with fresh, pressurized, temperature-controlled air circulation.

Cat Electronic Monitoring System (EMS), which provides continuous access to critical machine data to keep the machine performing at a high level.

INTELLIGENT ELECTRONICS

Smoother shifts and longer component life with Controlled Throttle Shifting, which regulates engine RPM, torque converter lock-up and transmission clutch engagement.
Reduced fuel consumption, decreased noise levels and potential for longer engine life with Economy Shift Mode.
Machine damage prevented by directional shift management, which regulates engine speed to avoid high-speed directional changes; and body-up shift inhibitor, which prevents the transmission from shifting above a pre-programmed gear without the body fully lowered.
Overspeed protection provided by Automatic Retarder Control, which engages the brakes if an unsafe engine speed is reached when the throttle is being depressed by the operator.

SUSTAINABILITY

Engine with EU Stage V emissions package for mines that require compliance with highest emission standards to drive down diesel particulate matter and NOx emission to near-zero while improving overall air quality and maintaining a high machine performance; also available with EU Stage IIIA /U.S. EPA Tier 3 engine.
Optional Ventilation Reduction (VR) Package, which incorporates selective engine hardware and software to reduce diesel particulate matter in the engine exhaust and deliver a significant ventilation rate reduction, a decrease in fuel consumption, and maintained or improved product performance.
Cat Diesel Particulate Filter, which complements the VR engine by further reducing particulate matter in the exhaust.
Ongoing research and development into engine compatibility with diesel fuel blended with lower-carbon intensity fuels such as biofuels and renewable fuels, plus power options like electrification.
Cat Rebuild and Cat Reman programs, which preserve raw materials, conserve energy and reduce emissions, plus retrofits and upgrades for older machines to incorporate efficiency improvements and emission reductions.
