Your bottom line is improved by highly durable structures that achieve multiple life cycles and withstand the toughest loading conditions.

• Full box-section rear frame and four-plate loader tower resists shock and torsional loading to maintain hitch and loader linkage pin alignment.
• Robotically welded structures provide deep weld penetration for maximum durability and fatigue strength.
• Castings increase strength by spreading loads and reducing the number of parts.

Your key to maximum uptime and productivity is our field-proven 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.
• Stress relieved lift arms increase durability and lengthen time to repair.

To ensure continued uptime, the 993K uses Cat Sleeve Bearing linkage pins which eliminate the need for daily greasing and routine maintenance.

Experience maximum responsiveness and control with STIC that combines directional selection, gear selection and steering into a single lever.

• Long life and reliability through heat treat gear and metallurgy.
• Three forward and three reverse speeds to match your application.

The 993K utilizes a Cat C32 ACERT to provide the performance and efficiency customers demand.

• On-demand performance through the use of turbochargers and aftercoolers.
• High Torque Rise – 33% torque rise ensures high lugging forces during digging and acceleration in high rimpull conditions.
• Extended engine life and improved efficiency through reduced operating speed.
• Quick engine response through the use of electronic engine controls.

Lower your cost per ton utilizing advanced ICTC and RCS for modulated rimpull.

• Reduce tire slippage and wear by modulating rimpull from 100 to 25 percent while depressing left pedal. After 25 percent rimpull is achieved the left pedal applies the brake.
• Reduce the potential for wheel slippage without reducing hydraulic efficiency with RCS.
• Improve fuel efficiency in certain applications with our lock-up clutch torque converter providing direct drive.

Operators increase productivity with our responsive implements feature.

• Operate comfortably through electronically controlled hydraulic cylinder stops.

Confident loader operation starts with precise machine control enabled by the 993K's load sensing hydraulic steering system.

• Increase efficiency with our variable displacement piston pump.
• Achieve precise positioning for easy loading in tight areas with 43 degrees of steering articulation.
• Enhance operator comfort with integrated steering and transmission control functions.

Benefit from extended performance and reliability of your hydraulic system with our advanced filtration system.

• Implement/fan case drain filters.
• Steering case drain filters.
• Implement, steering, brake and fan high pressure screens.
• Full flow implement return screens.
• Full flow fan/steering return filter.
• Pilot filtration.
• Extended life transmission filter.
• Front and rear axle oil filters.

Increase efficiency through our Positive Flow Control (PFC) Hydraulic System. PFC has concurrent pump and valve control. By optimizing pump control, hydraulic oil flow is proportionate to implement lever movement.

• Fast, productive cycles enabled by three electronically controlled, fully variable piston pumps.
• Increase bucket feel and control through increased hydraulic response.
• Consistent performance and efficiency with lower system heat.

Your operators can work more efficiently and stay comfortable with our customer-inspired cab features.

Enter and exit the cab easily and safely with these newly designed, ergonomic features.

• Fold up STIC steer/arm rest.

Enhance comfort and reduce operator fatigue with the Cat Optimized Seat System.

• High 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.
• 76 mm (3 in) wide retractable seat belt.

Safely train other operators in comfort with our standard training seat.

• 76 mm (3 in) wide, retractable seat belt.
• Fold-down design with molded drink tray and storage.

Your operator's productivity is enhanced with our clean, comfortable cab environment.

• Experience reduced vibrations from viscous cab mounts and seat air suspension.
• Maintain desired cab temperature with automatic temperature controls.
• Pressurized cab with filtered air.
• Sound level reduced to a quiet 70 dB(A).

The 993K electronic systems have been completely integrated to function as one machine. This integration creates a smart machine and more informed operator, maximizing the productivity of both.

We have worked hard to help our customers and operators perform at their best through our Vital Information Management System (VIMS 3G).

• Easy-to-view Advisor Display features a large screen.
• Intuitive operation and easy navigation with our enhanced user interface.
• Decrease service time by keeping operators informed about machine system malfunction or operation.

Operator comfort begins with personalized machine feature settings. Through our Advisor Display, an operator can instantly recall personalized profiles.

• Store up to 10 separate operator profiles through Advisor.
• Decrease setup time between operators by recalling personalized screen layouts.

Increase your efficiency with our Payload Control System 3.0.

• Quick payload weighs with on-the-go weighing.
• Comprehensive record accuracy of machine performance with up to 1,000 truck records with 25 different materials.

Impact your bottom line through improved machine performance with Cycle Timer. Each loading segment time can be analyzed to help you achieve more efficient operation.

Cat MineStar System is the industry's broadest suite of integrated mine operations and mobile equipment management technologies, configurable to suit your operation's needs. Its capability sets - Fleet, Terrain, Detect, Health and Command - contain a range of technologies that let you manage everything from fleet assignment and condition monitoring to remote and autonomous control. The 993K can take advantage of many of these advanced technologies, some of which are standard out of the factory.

Fleet provides comprehensive, real-time machine tracking, assignment and productivity management, giving you a comprehensive overview of all operations from anywhere in the world.

Terrain with your 993K enables high-precision management of loading operations through the use of guidance technology. It increases 993K's productivity and provides you real-time feedback for improved efficiency.
