That is why all Cat® Wheel Loaders are purpose-built with standard and optional guarding on major components and systems. [. . . ] Read on to learn more about how these steel mill wheel loaders deliver sustainable productivity, fuel efficiency, serviceability, ergonomics and operator comfort. Reliability Structures Maximizing uptime, long life – its what you expect from your Cat Wheel Loader. Combining the use of robotic welding and castings in critical high stress areas, more than 80 percent of Cat® Large Wheel Loader structures are robotically welded to provide highly consistent welds and increased strength. Castings are also used in several areas to increase strength by helping spread the loads and reduce the number of parts. Front Frame and Rear Frame Highly engineered and a field proven combination, Cat® Large Wheel Loaders use high strength plates and castings which distribute loads and increase structural robustness. A key differentiator from other manufactures machines is the box section rear frame and box section loader tower. The box section absorbs tensional forces generated in a loading cycle, maintaining alignment for hitch pins and driveline. The box shaped loader tower resists shock and torsional loads, maintaining hitch and loader linkage pin alignment, maximizing pin life. Axle-Shaft, Oil Disc Brakes These brakes are adjustment free, fully hydraulic and completely sealed. Disc face grooves provide cooling even when brakes are applied for a longer component life. • Location of brakes allow for improved serviceability. The axle shaft brake design allows fro brake service while leaving the final drive intact. • Axle-shaft brakes require less force by operating on the low torque side of the axle. This includes gauge displays for the fuel tank level; temperature gauges for the engine coolant, torque converter and hydraulic oil; tachometer analog gauge with digital readout for gear selection and ground speed and a monitoring system. • New options to include heated seat for cold weather operations and radio offerings of Bluetooth, MPS and satellite options are now available. 6 Serviceability Optional Swing Out Radiator Fan (GB21201 only) Easy to Maintain. Easy to Service. The optional swing out radiator fan provides for easy access to the radiator cores for easy cleaning and inspection. Optional Auto Reversing, Hydraulically Driven Demand Fan (GB21201 only) The demand fan automatically adjusts fan speed for optimal cooling, resulting in reduced power draw on the engine, better fuel efficiency and more power for hydraulics and rimpull. The fan reverses automatically at preset intervals to remove debris from the inlet screen. It can also be reversed manually from the cab. Component Access Swing out doors on both sides of the engine compartment provide easy access to the engine oil dipstick and filler spout, S∙O∙SSM ports, fuel filters air conditioner compressor, engine oil filters, alternators, starting receptacle, air filter service indicator, cooler fill and ether starting aid. There are also ground level viewable sight gauges on all major systems and centralized remote pressure taps. Shutdown and Lockout Features An electrical disconnect switch and hydraulic lockout switch allow service technicians to perform maintenance while the machine stays static. Other shutdown or lockout devices include ground level engine shutdown and ground level steering hitch lock lever. 7 Safety Entry and Exit Built to Protect You Getting on and off the machine is one of the leading causes of injury on a job site. Cat® Wheel Loaders have a number of features to ensure your operator gets safely on and off the machine. Features include primary and secondary stairwell exits, punch stamped tread plates, ground level nighttime stairwell light switch, full perimeter railings on upper platforms, side platform emergency egress and toe kicks and optional roading fenders. Rearview Camera With the new optional rearview camera, visibility is greatly enhanced.

Rearview Camera With the new optional rearview camera, visibility is greatly enhanced. The camera is located in a pocket on the grill to protect it from damage and the elements. The camera can be set to activate only when the transmission is in reverse to help eliminate distractions in the cab, especially when in dark environments. Visibility Cat® Wheel Loaders offer a number of standard and optional features to enhance job site visibility. [. . . ]
