[. . . ] Cushion Hitch The cushion hitch is a Caterpillar proven system for protecting components of the hitch and improving ride quality, dampening loads that might otherwise be carried through the frame to the operator. Cushion hitch offers operators a more comfortable haul portion of the work cycle. Durability Cat wheel tractor-scrapers have a history of robust structural design, tested and validated to last in the most rugged loading and hauling conditions. 19 2 Quick loading, high travel speeds and the ability to load and dump on the run yield fast cycle times, allowing Cat Wheel Tractor-Scrapers to consistently deliver high productivity at the lowest cost per ton. [. . . ] ⷠTractor gears 1-2 ­ converter drive for increased torque, gears 3-8 ­ direct-drive for drive train efficiency. ⷠTransmission Hold maintains converter drive for maximum rimpull or holds current gear for best control. Neutral Coast Inhibitor prevents transmission shifts into neutral while moving. smooth Transmission Gear Shifting The TA120 features ECPC Shift Torque Management (STM) , with improved Shift Control Logic (SCL) and Part Throttle Shifting (PTS). These features allow smoother shifting and greater acceleration on grades while torque is maintained through the shift changes. SCL also provides automatic shift selection that is more specific to the desired machine operation, and downshifts when needed for maximum acceleration when increased throttle is applied. PTS allows shifting at lower speeds during part throttle operation, resulting in improved part throttle fuel economy, quieter machine operation, and better maneuvering in reduced speed operating conditions. brake Performance The TA120 uses hydraulically-actuated wet disc brakes for exceptional brake performance. The standard Cat Engine Brake reduces brake wear and enhances machine control. 6 3 2 5 7 8 6 4 4 8 1 Structures Cushion Hitch Superior design and construction delivers long term durability. Electronically actuated with parallelogram-type linkage for exceptional strength, with two nitrogen accumulators (4) using free-floating pistons (8) to deliver a smooth ride for enhanced operator comfort and machine durability. The increased power enables the operator to take deeper cuts and load in a shorter distance with less elevator stall. Redesigned Elevator Structures The TA120 elevator and chain life has been improved through structural improvements to the elevator structure. Wear plates are used in place of rollers for reduced chain stretch. New Elevator Controls The elevator is engaged with a thumb roller on the joystick. The operator can choose one of seven forward and four reverse speeds to match the speed that best matches the material. Chain Adjustment Serviceability is enhanced through a new chain adjustment mechanism. The new scissors-style chain adjuster uses a simple tool to tighten the chain in 2. Elevator Flights The life of the 15 elevator flights is improved in abrasive materials through the addition of high-strength, wear-resistant steel on the face of each flight. 9 Integrated Technologies Sequence Assist Technology options to improve operator comfort and increase productivity. Sequence Assist uses integrated software and position-sensing cylinders to automate many of the tasks an operator performs when loading, hauling and dumping. The operator simply sets preferences for bowl and apron height and subsequently pushes a button to ready the machine for loading, then hauling, then dumping, and then the return to cut.
