Engine/Power Train Integration
Electronically combines critical power train components to work more intelligently and to optimize overall truck performance


Cat Data Link. Electronically integrates machine computer systems to optimize overall power train performance, increase reliability and component  life, and reduce operating costs

Controlled Throttle Shifting. Regulates engine rpm during shifting to reduce power train stress and clutch wear by controlling engine speed, torque converter lock-up and transmission clutch engagement for smoother shifts and longer component life

Directional Shift Management. Regulates engine speed during directional shifts to prevent damage caused by high speed directional changes.

Neutral Coast Inhibitor. Prevents transmission from shifting to neutral at speeds above 6.5 km/h (4 mph) to protect the transmission from operating with insufficient lubrication.

Body-up Reverse Neutralizer. Automatically shifts the transmission  to neutral if the hoist lever is activated while transmission is shifted in reverse.

Body-up Shift Inhibitor. Prevents the transmission from shifting above a pre-programmed gear without the body fully lowered.

Overspeed Protection. The transmission control electronically senses engine conditions and automatically up-shifts one gear to prevent overspeeding.
If overspeeding occurs in top gear, the lock-up clutch is disengaged.

Programmable Top Gear. Transmission top gear maximum can be set using the ET service tool to help the operator maintain speed limits.

Anti-Hunt Function. Prevents gear hunting when operating near a shift point and minimizes shifts by not allowing an upshift or downshift immediately after a shift has occurred for increased component life.

Downshift Inhibitor. Prevents engine overspeeding by keeping the transmission from downshifting until engine speed reaches the downshift point.

Electronic Technician (ET). ET service tool provides service technicians with easy access to stored diagnostic data through the Cat Data Link to simplify problem diagnosis and increase machine availability.

Diagnostic Capability. Critical data from the electronic engine and transmission controls, including transmission shifting, engine speed  and fuel consumption, provides service technicians with enhanced diagnostic capability to reduce downtime and operating costs.

Integrated Braking Control (IBC).
IBC integrates Automatic Retarder Control and Traction Control into one system for optimum performance and efficiency


Caterpillar Brake System
Reliable braking with superior control gives the operator the confidence to focus on productivity.


Integrated Braking System. The Cat oil-cooled braking system delivers reliable performance and control in  the most extreme haul road conditions. The integrated system combines the service, secondary, parking brake and  retarding functions in the same robust system for optimum braking efficiency

Cat Data Link. All control modules communicate via the Cat Data Link and work together as an integrated system to maximize production efficiency and extend component life

Oil-Cooled Multiple Disc Brakes. Caterpillar four-wheel, forced oil-cooled, multiple disc service brakes are continuously cooled by water-to-oil heat exchangers for exceptional non-fade braking and retarding performance

Brake Design. Cat oil-cooled disc brakes are designed with large discs and plates for reliable, adjustment-free operation and performance. Brakes are completely enclosed and sealed to prevent contamination and reduce maintenance.

Long Life. An oil film prevents direct contact between the discs. This design absorbs the braking forces by shearing the oil molecules and carrying heat away to extend brake life.

Pistons. The Caterpillar two-piston design combines the service, secondary, parking brake and retarding functions  in the same system. The primary piston hydraulically actuates both service and retarding functions. The secondary piston is spring-applied and held in
the disengaged position by hydraulic pressure. If hydraulic system pressure drops below a specified level, the spring-applied secondary piston automatically applies the brakes.

Parking Brake. Oil-cooled, spring- applied, hydraulically released parking brake is applied to all four wheels for superior parking capability on all grades up to 15 percent.




Integrated Braking Control (IBC). Combines Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) and Traction Control System (TCS) into one integrated brake control system for optimum efficiency, performance and reliability.

Automatic Retarder Control (ARC). Electronically controls retarding on grade to maintain optimum engine rpm and oil cooling. Additional braking may be applied using the manual retarder
or the brake pedal. ARC is deactivated when the operator applies the brakes or throttle.

Four Corner Retarding. Four corner retarding with 60/40 percent split (rear/front) in braking effort provides superior control in slippery conditions. Balanced front to rear brake torque provides exceptional braking performance and minimizes wheel lock-up, especially during retarding.

Faster Speeds. ARC allows the operator to maintain optimum engine speeds for faster downhill hauls and greater productivity.

Superior Control. Automatic brake modulation offers a smoother ride and better control in slippery conditions, allowing the operator to concentrate on driving.

Ease of Operation. ARC increases operating ease, resulting in greater operator confidence with less fatigue.

Engine Overspeed Protection. Automatically activates ARC when engine speed exceeds factory preset levels, regardless of operator inputs, to avoid potentially damaging engine overspeeds.



Fuel Efficiency. The engine provides additional retarding by running against compression on downhill hauls.
During retarding applications the engine ECM does not inject fuel into the cylinders for exceptional fuel economy.

Traction Control System (TCS). Electronically monitors and controls rear wheel slippage for greater traction and enhanced truck performance in poor underfoot conditions. If slippage exceeds a set limit, the oil-cooled disc brakes engage to slow the spinning wheel. Torque is then automatically transferred to the wheel with better traction.

Differential Action. Normal differential action provides superior maneuvering and control in slippery conditions

Dimensions
All dimensions are approximate.








Retarding Performance
To determine retarding performance: Add lengths of all downhill segments and, using this total, refer to proper retarding chart. Read from gross weight down to the percent effective grade. Effective grade equals actual % grade minus 1% for each 10 kg/t (20 lb/ton) of rolling resistance. From this weight-effective grade point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum descent speed brakes can properly handle without exceeding

cooling capacity. The following charts are based on these conditions: 32° C (90° F) ambient temperature, at sea level, with 33.00-R51 tires.

NOTE: Select the proper gear to maintain engine rpm at the highest possible level, without overspeeding the engine. If cooling oil overheats, reduce ground speed to allow transmission to shift to the next lower speed range





Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull

To determine gradeability performance: Read from gross weight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistance equals actual percent grade plus 1% for each 10 kg/t (20 lb/ton) of rolling resistance.

From this weight-resistance point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum speed. Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available and weight on drive wheels
