Operator Station Steering and Implement Controls Structures, Drawbar, Circle, Moldboard The 16M frame provides a solid working platform, and the DCM delivers service ease and precise blade control for maximum productivity. 8 A technologically advanced cab, featuring Two joysticks offer precise control joystick controls, provides unmatched and unparalleled ease of operation. 4 This advanced technology makes the 16M the most operator-friendly motor grader in the world. 6 Integrated Electronic Solutions Full systems integration with advanced electronics including Cat® Messenger, AccuGradeTM blade control system and Cat ET, create a "Smart Machine" that optimizes performance and availability. [. . . ] The Cat C13 with ACERTTM Technology meets or exceeds all U. S. EPA Tier 3 and European Union Stage IIIa emissions control standards. ACERTTM Technology. ACERT Technology allows Cat engines to supply more power per unit of displacement without causing premature wear. This breakthrough technology reduces emissions during the combustion process by using advanced technology in the air and fuel systems, in conjunction with integrated electronics. ACERT Technology enhances overall engine performance while dramatically reducing exhaust emissions. Fuel Delivery. The C13 engine with ACERT Technology uses multiple injection fuel delivery to precisely shape the combustion cycle. Several small ignitions lower combustion chamber temperatures, generates fewer emissions and optimizes fuel combustion. Bottom line: more work output for your fuel cost. The three-phase compression brake enables higher travel speeds downhill, while reducing wear on brake components. This improves overall productivity and lowers maintenance costs. 12 Hydraulics The 16M electro-hydraulics enable advanced machine controls with precise and predictable movements. Balanced Flow. Hydraulic flow is proportioned to ensure all implements operate simultaneously with little effect on the engine or implement speeds. If demand exceeds pump capacity, all cylinder velocities are reduced by the same ratio. The result is improved productivity in all applications. PPPC valves have different flow rates for the head (red) and rod (blue) ends of the cylinder. This ensures consistent extension and retraction speeds for each cylinder, and gives the operator a consistent and predictable response every time an implement control is moved. Advanced Electro-Hydraulic System. The 16M incorporates a state-of-the-art electro-hydraulic system. This technology is the foundation for revolutionary changes of the machine and implement controls. Advanced joystick controls provide unmatched controllability with precise, predictable hydraulic movements and the reliability you expect from Caterpillar. Blade float is built into the blade lift control valves and is optional for some auxiliary hydraulic functions. The blade float feature allows the blade to move freely under its own weight. By floating both cylinders, the blade can follow the contours of the road when removing snow. Floating only one cylinder permits the toe of the blade to follow a hard surface while the operator controls the slope with the other lift cylinder. Cat® XTTM Hose. [. . . ] Caterpillar designs components in groups to be rebuilt at the same time, maximizing uptime. Repair option programs guarantee the cost of repairs up front. Diagnostics programs such as Scheduled Oil Sampling, S·O·SSM analysis, Coolant Sampling and Technical Analysis help avoid unscheduled repairs. You will find nearly all parts at our dealer parts counter. [. . . ]
