Engine ® Operator Station Monitoring System The 963D incorporates a new smooth, rounded gauge cluster with integral defroster vents. Together with the optional Cat® Messenger, it displays all necessary information within the operator's normal line of sight. 8 The Cat C6. 6 ACERT engine utilizes Experience a high level of efficiency, the Caterpillar® Common Rail fuel comfort and productivity with the new delivery system. The cab features a new performance, durability, serviceability, gauge cluster, a fully air-suspension and fuel economy, it meets EPA Tier 3, seat, the new seat mounted controls, EU Stage IIIa and Japan Ministry of an automatic air climate control and Land, Infrastructure & Transport Step 3 provides excellent visibility. [. . . ] The Slab-section 963D frame resists twisting and impact forces to provide a solid foundation for all the components it supports. Mounting points for the final drives, pivot shafts, and platform are built into each mainframe side rail. The frame side plates are made of mild steel, which provides strength and resists shock and bending stresses. "Deep penetrating", "Backed up" welds are used for maximum strength. Loader tower. The loader tower is integral with the basic main frame. The one slab plate continues forward to become one side of the loader tower in order to provide a smooth transition to loads from linkages to the mainframe rails. The loader tower provides a solid mount for lift arms, lift cylinders, and Z-bar tilt cylinder. A box-section cross member is welded below the two inboard loader tower plates to add strength. The equalizer bar, which connects the track roller frames to the main frame, is mounted below the loader tower. The result is an integrated main frame and loader tower assembly which will accommodate maximum load capability. The engine is at the rear, where its weight serves as a "working counterweight" to balance the machine for full bucket loads without adding inefficient "dead" weight. 11 SystemOneTM Undercarriage The SystemOne undercarriage was designed exclusively for Caterpillar machines to reduce customers' operating costs, downtime and maintenance intervals. Revolutionary Undercarriage. SystemOneTM is the latest innovation in a century of undercarriage leadership. It was designed to reduce customers' operating costs and maintenance intervals. The revolutionary Cat SystemOneTM Undercarriage provides maximum undercarriage life and reliability no matter the application, environment or underfoot conditions. Built to last longer and require less maintenance it ensures a dramatic drop in operating costs. Track Roller Frames. The track roller frames are a welded, box section design, which provides strength and resistance to bending without adding extra weight. The track roller frames are pinned at the rear to the loader main frame with pivot shafts, which allow the front of the track roller frames to swing or oscillate about the pivot shafts at the rear. The guiding system contacts link rails instead of pin ends and helps keep the track within the roller system. The 963D has seven track rollers, which spread machine weight over a large area and two upper carrier rollers on each side mounts to the machine mainframe. 12 The rollers and carrier rollers have been redesigned to run with the system. This will lead directly to better guiding. All rollers in this new system are single flange rollers with increased flange diameter. The increased flange diameters increase guiding capability. [. . . ] The cab air filter, the grouped pressure taps, the cab tilt locking bar, the optional cab tilt cylinder, the tool box, and the hydraulic oil filters are conveniently located below the leftside cab window. 17 Special Application Arrangements Special arrangements improve the 963D's performance in special applications. perform well in landfills, or any waste handling or demolition applications where the machine spreads, compacts, sorts, shreds and crushes materials. The 963D with its low ground pressure and excellent stability works well on top of loose materials, cleaning the cargo from the sides of the holds and moving it into position for the unloading system. Lifting eyes are included so that the 963D can be lifted from the dock to the hold. For underfoot conditions that require even lower ground pressure than the standard 963D undercarriage the gauge of the machine can be widened by 250 mm (9. 8 inches) and the track shoe width increased to 800 mm (31. 5 inches).
