Advanced MEUI™-C Injector

Advanced MEUI-C injector platforms deliver increased injection pressures and more precise fuel rates. These durable injectors enhance responsiveness while controlling soot.

Innovative Air Management

All Cat engines feature innovative air-management systems that optimize airflow and enhance power, efficiency and reliability.

Cat NOx Reduction System (NRS)

The NRS captures and cools a small quantity of exhaust gas, then routes it back into the combustion chamber where it drives down combustion temperatures and reduces NOx emissions.

Aftertreatment Technologies

The aftertreatment solution utilized for Tier 4 Final/Stage IV products is the next evolutionary step for Cat engines with ACERT Technology. To meet the additional 80% reduction in NOx emissions required by Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emission standards, Caterpillar engineers only needed to add one new system to the already proven aftertreatment solution in use, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)

Cat engines equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system inject Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust to reduce NOx emissions. DEF is a precisely mixed solution of 32.5% high purity chemical grade urea and 67.5% de-ionized water.

The Cat TH31 six-speed forward, single speed reverse transmission features Advanced Productivity Electronic Control Strategy (APECS) and Electronic Clutch Pressure Control (ECPC) which deliver smooth gear changes with improved acceleration and higher productivity.

• Speed hold/limiting function allows the machine speed to be limited in 1 km/h or 1 mph steps to conform to site speed restrictions.
• Works in conjunction with the transmission retarder to automatically reduce the retarding level on lesser grades in lower gears.
• Variable shift points used based on the operating conditions, which also aid in maintaining ground speed during gear changes on grades.

Torque Converter

Large capacity torque converter, configured for off-highway applications, allows the higher engine power to be transmitted more efficiently to the lower power train.

Transmission Retarder

The retarding system is integrated with the transmission and service brakes.

Automatic Traction Control (ATC)

Application of the inter and cross-axle differential locks is ‘on-the-go' and fully automatic. The operator does not have to think about when and where to engage either the inter or cross-axle differential lock. Sensors monitor the machine and wheel speeds, enabling instant response in low traction conditions. Operation is seamless and smooth, eliminating wheel slip for maximum traction and productivity.

Clutches are also automatically disengaged when not required, eliminating any impact on machine maneuverability, such as making a tight turn at the top of a grade.

The ATC system helps reduce tire and driveline abuse, eliminating lost efficiency caused by improper manual operation of the differential clutches, and reducing the cost of premature tire replacement.

Regeneration

When set to automatic, regeneration will occur without any interaction from the operator. The three modes of regeneration shown below allow the articulated truck to adapt to specific site conditions in the most efficient manner.

Automatic: The machine carries out “on-the-go” regeneration when the engine control module determines conditions are acceptable. The operator requires no action and the articulated truck is not required to stop working.

Automatic: Low idle regeneration is initiated when the machine is in a reduced operating mode for a predetermined period of time, and a number of conditions are met. The system is designed so that the operator can interrupt regeneration at any time.

Manual: A manual regeneration is initiated by pressing the regeneration switch for five seconds. The machine must be brought to a non-operating mode in order to perform a manual regeneration.

All three axles have oscillating a-frames with lateral tie rods, controlling sideways movement of the axle and providing stability. In conjunction with suspension system, it allows the operator to travel at speed over rough terrain and softens impact loads on structures and components.

Front Suspension

Large bore, low-pressure cylinders are purpose designed for off-road applications and offer a soft, smooth ride for the operator. The front suspension oscillates ±6° to assist in providing a smooth ride. Suspension mounting points are integrated into the axle housing, increasing reliability.

Rear Suspension
