Benefits

Easy Maintenance for More Uptime

Modular components allow quick maintenance without disturbing other parts. Cat® MineStar™ aligns service intervals for efficiency, while the adjustable circle drive cuts wear and service time.

Consistent Power for Maximum Productivity

The Cat® C13 engine delivers consistent power for sudden load spikes, while Variable Horsepower (VHP) optimizes performance across all gears. Eco mode maximizes fuel efficiency in real time, ideal for demanding mining operations.

Safe Access, Safe Operators

Equipped with grab handles, nonslip steps, and tie-off points for safe access to tandem walkways, plus optional platforms for fall protection. Dual access paths allow engine and cab entry from both sides for efficient maintenance.
