User manual CATERPILLAR R3000H BROCHURE

[. . . ] Innovative technologies optimize performance. The Cat® C15 engine with ACERT™ Technology provides unequalled lugging force while digging, tramming and traversing steep grades. Torque rise effectively matches transmission shift points for maximum efficiency and fast cycle times. Mechanically Actuated, Electronic Unit Injection (MEUI™) high-pressure, direct injection fuel system electronically monitors operator demands and sensor inputs to optimize engine performance. [. . . ] The design and manufacturing quality of Cat LHD frames have been proven by our customers, many of whom reuse frames during machine rebuilds to get 2nd and 3rd lives out of their LHD’s. Hitch Spread hitch design widens the distance between upper and lower hitch plates to distribute forces and increase bearing life. The wide opening provides easy service access. Upper and lower hitch pins pivot on roller bearings to distribute horizontal and vertical loads over a greater surface area. Shim adjusted preload reduces maintenance time. An on-board steering frame lock pin is fitted to prevent articulation during maintenance and service. Sealed Pins Sealed colleted pins are fitted to all bucket and lift arm hinge points for longer pin and bushing life. This reduces maintenance costs and extends service intervals. The sealed joints retain lubrication and prevent contaminant entry. Z-bar Loader Linkage Proven Z-bar loader linkage geometry generates powerful breakout force and an increased rack back angle for better bucket loading and material retention. Heavy duty steel lift arms with cast steel cross tube ensures extreme loads encountered during loading and tramming are efficiently dissipated for long service life. 7 Operator Comfort Ergonomically designed for all-day comfort, control and productivity. The operator station is ergonomically designed for total machine control in a comfortable, productive and safe environment. All controls, levers, switches and gauges are positioned to maximize productivity and minimize operator fatigue. Protective Structure Integral to the cab and frame, the resiliently mounted Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and the Falling Objects Protective Structure (FOPS), isolates the operator from vibration for a more comfortable ride. Optional Enclosed Cab Optional sound-suppressed ROPS cab provides a quiet, secure working environment. Large window openings offer excellent visibility in all directions. Air conditioning provides filtered, pressurized, temperature-controlled air for a more comfortable working environment. STIC™ Steering and Transmission Integrated Control STIC provides effortless control of the machine by a single controller. Simple side-to-side motion articulates the machine. Directional shifting (forward/neutral/reverse) is controlled using a three position rocker switch. The thumb operated buttons control gear selection. Monitoring System Cat Electronic Monitoring System (Cat EMS) continuously provides critical machine data to keep the machine performing at top production levels. Optional Swivel Seat Ergonomic swivel seat provides a simple solution to operator fatigue by reducing neck and shoulder movement. Electronically controlled direction and speed can be adjusted to suit all operating scenarios. 8 Loader Bucket Systems Rugged performance and reliability in tough underground mining applications. Buckets Cat LHD buckets deliver unmatched productivity and structural reliability to help lower your cost-per-ton.
