SAFETY

SAFETY

        
  • Excellent visibility thanks to cab position that provides clear view to the digging and loading areas, floor window that provides a view to the tracks, LED lighting and  standard Vision 360 camera monitoring system.
  •     
  • Emergency egress ladder with a self-closing door located in direct proximity to the cab.
  •     
  • Safer access with 45-degree powered access stairway that features emergency lowering via a nitrogen accumulator, which ensures it remains operational even when the machine shuts off.
  •     
  • Safer electrical and/or mechanical maintenance thanks to lockable battery isolation switch.
  •     
  • Safer service with improved sealing between motors and hydraulic pumps, improved routing and separation of hydraulic lines and electric cables.

PRODUCTIVITY & PERFORMANCE

PRODUCTIVITY & PERFORMANCE

        
  • Up to 5% greater efficiency through Hydraulic Optimization, which dynamically assigns individual pumps or groups of pumps to deliver the exact flow and pressure that each hydraulic function requires.
  •     
  • Faster boom movement by using float valves instead of pumps to lower the boom.
  •     
  • Faster cycle times and improved energy efficiency delivered by closed-loop swing system, which also generates less heat.
  •     
  • Greater operator control thanks to five circuit hydraulics that allow for two cylinder motions, two travel motions, and swing to be controlled simultaneously.
  •     
  • Easier and faster face shovel operation with unique TriPower face shovel design, which generates superior mechanical leverage and control.
  •     
  • Increased productivity and greater uptime with twin motors, which enable up to 65% of full production with a single motor.
BUCKETS & GET

BUCKETS & GET

        
  • Buckets and ground engaging tools (GET) designed to maximize durability and productivity and ideally matched to your shovel and application.
  •     
  • Integrated to work as part of a machine system — helping you achieve high productivity and the lowest cost per ton.
