Hydraulic System. Powerful Cathydraulics deliver exceptional diggingand lifting forces for fast cycle times.

Lift and Tilt System. High hydraulicflow rates provide fast hydrauliccylinder response and powerful liftforces. Large-bore tilt and lift cylindersdeliver exceptional strength,performance and durability.

Pilot Controls. Low effort, pilotoperated joystick implement controlwith simultaneous lift and tilt functionsoptimizes operating efficiency.

Optional Ride Control. The optional ridecontrol system uses a nitrogen filled oilaccumulator in the hydraulic lift circuitto act as a shock absorber for the bucketand lift arms. The lift arm and bucketresponse to movement is dampenedover rough ground, reducing fore andaft pitch, improving cycle times andload retention. A smoother, morecomfortable ride gives operators theconfidence to travel at speeds above5 km/h (3 mph) during load and carryoperations.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull

To determine gradeability performance: Read from grossweight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistanceequals actual percent grade plus rolling resistance. As a generalguide use 2% for rolling resistance in underground applicationsor refer to the Caterpillar Performance Handbook. From the

total resistance point, read horizontally to the curve withthe highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum speed.Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available andweight on drive wheels.
