Benefits & Features

Infinite Variable Speeds (hydrostatic transmission) Smooth controls, more operator comfort Increased operator productivity Joysticks for Transmission and Work Tools Easy to maneuver Intuitive controls minimize training requirements High Reach Work Tool Loader arm allows cleaning of the walls of the hold Increases versatility of the machine Track-Type Undercarriage Low ground pressure for better traction in some materials Several shoe widths available or can be manufactured at order to meet customer requirements Optional center hole shoes reduce track packing and track chain tightening which extends undercarriage life Lifting Eyes Front eyes welded on the Track Roller Frame (TRF) Rear eyes mounted on the main frame Wide spacing for good stability during lifting Sound Sound suppressed cab and air suspended seat reduce operator fatigue and increase concentration The sound levels measured per ISO 6396 reach 77 dB(A) for 973D Visibility Large windows all around operator and clipped engine enclosure provide excellent view to the environment and the work tool Day and night operations are lighted with 8 halogen lights: 4 lights facing frontward, 2 lights facing rearward and 2 facing sideways Rear Engine and Cooling System Location Improved machine balance Engine less exposed to dust, increase engine life Limit plugging of radiator core Better visibility at front Reduce O&O cost Reversing Fan The air flow can be either automatically or manually reversed. Maintains proper heat transfer by blowing material out of the radiator core. The hinged radiator grill gives easy access to the cooling system of the machine Heavy Duty Bumper Gives outstanding protection for the rear of the machine Cooling system is well protected in case of accidental impacts with a wall of the shiphold Maintenance and Serviceability Filters and other systems are accessible from the ground on each side of the machine Cab can be tilted 90° with a crane or 30° with a hydraulic jack allowing job site repair Makes the maintenance of the machine easier for engine or hydraulic components Engine Air Precleaner Debris is centrifugally removed from the airstream and delivers cleaner air to the engine filter Air filter life is extended Track-Type Loaders Shiphold/Port Handling » Learn More Work Tool Options Pin-on trim blade for all material Pin-on trim blade for coal Pin-on general purpose bucket Pin-on multi purpose bucket For additional information on the Track-Type Loader D series, please refer to the 953D, 963D and 973D specalogs. Work Tools and Optional Equipment Designed to meet your needs » Learn More Features When the attachments are available a typical Track-Type Loader working in the shiphold/port handling application needs to be equipped with the following recommended features: Four lifting eyes Joystick for the transmission control Front guard for hydraulic tank Guards for lift and tilt cylinders Guard for the track rollers Heavy duty bumper Reversing fan Engine air precleaner E-SALT tracks equipped with center hole shoes Trim blade or bucket (with or without quick coupler) Lights facing forward, backward and sideways Windshield sealed Hydraulic tilt cab system
