Full-flow hydraulic filtration system with additional kidney-loop filtration improves hydraulic system reliability and component life.
SUPERIOR FUEL EFFICIENCY & PRODUCTIVITY
Autodig with Auto Set Tires for consistent high bucket fill factors deliver up to 10% more productivity compared to previous Cat model.
Powershift transmission with lock-up clutch increases fuel efficiency while delivering optimal performance.
Single clutch and lock-to-lock shifting for faster acceleration and speed on grades.
Application Profiles optimize machine settings for different applications at one push of a button.
Job Aids help operators improve and optimize their operating skills.
Performance Series Buckets utilize a system-based approach to balance bucket shape against the machine€™s linkage, resulting in higher fill factors and better material retention when compared with other buckets of the same rated capacity.
Automatic engine idle shutdown system significantly reduces idle time, overall operating hours, and fuel consumption.
Optional limited slip differentials increase traction and reduce tire slip, lowering operating costs.
Optional aggregate handler configuration offers higher payload capability for loose aggregate handling.**
** Optional configurations and equipment may vary from region to region and require conformance to Caterpillar payload policy. Consult your dealer or Caterpillar representative for details.
