Benefits

REDUCED MAINTENANCE COSTS

• Durable design and easier servicing mean maximized uptime and reduced service costs.
• Enclosed wet brake design keeps out contaminants, extending brake life (and increasing machine uptime), while reducing replacement cost.
• Universal joints are lubricated for life, eliminating any greasing during the product lifetime.
• Coolant formula improves component life by reducing corrosion.
• Entire machine is designed for greater ease of maintenance with side-tilting cab, electrically raised hood, access panels, and Cat Data Link connector.
• Radiator is mounted behind cab for protection and ease of access.
• AATC monitors and controls differential lock and wheel speeds. This reduces machine inefficiencies as well as driveline and tire wear.

TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS WORK DONE

• Integrated systems give you the ability to make timely, fact-based decisions to maximize efficiency, improve productivity, and lower costs.
• Product Link™ system connects to each machine wirelessly, allowing you to monitor location, hours, fuel use, productivity, idle time, and diagnostic codes.
• Payload technology allows operators to view real-time load weights on the integrated display.
• External payload indicator lights alert the loader when to stop, reducing the risk of machine overloading.
• Stability assist software reports information via online VisionLink®, increasing awareness of machine history if a rollover has occurred.
• Advanced productivity gives you the ability to view trends to help improve bidding accuracy and profitability.

BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES

• Operator-presence detection system applies parking brake if gear is engaged and operator is not seated.
• Additional mirrors available to increase visibility at front of machine; touchscreen displays feed from back-up camera (standard).
• Secondary steering activates automatically if low pressure is sensed in primary system.
• Cab has integral rollover protection system and falling object protection system.
• Stability assist software monitors angles of tractor, trailer, and grade independently, increasing operator awareness of stability during operation.
• Visual and audible alarms warn operator if an unstable angle is being approached; hoisting stops automatically.
• Hill assist system reduces potential for rollback by automatically holding brakes on when stopped on a grade.

EASY, COMFORTABLE OPERATOR ENVIRONMENT

ACHIEVE GREATER PRODUCTIVITY

• High density power shift (HDPS) transmission is designed specifically for articulated trucks with nine forward/two reverse speeds and improved acceleration.
• Variable gearshift points are based on the operating conditions, reducing the use of torque converter drive and helping maintain ground speed during gear changes on grades.
• Advanced automatic traction control (AATC) decreases wheel slippage, delivering maximum traction and increased productivity.  Fully automatic with no operator action.
• Truck body dimensions and other specifications are an excellent match to Cat loaders and other loading equipment, resulting in fewer passes, increased production, and lower system costs.
• Optional body heat solution reduces carry back in specific applications.

DURABILITY

• All structures and components are proven through extensive testing and customer experience.
• Suspension allows greater speed over rough terrain, while softening impact loads.
• Front suspension oscillates ±6 degrees for a smooth ride.
