Overview

Keep Mining Haul Roads Productive and Efficient

The Cat® 16 motor grader is built for mine operations and haul road construction. Its fuel-efficient design, robust build, and advanced technology deliver maximum uptime, lower costs, and superior productivity.

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.

Operator Station

Visibility

Good visibility is key to your safety and efficiency. Large windows make it easy to see the moldboard and tires, as well as behind the machine. A rear vision camera is available to enhance your sight lines to the rear of the machine.

Comfort and Control

Experience the most spacious, comfortable cab in the industry. Revolutionary joystick controls replace levers, so hand and arm movement is reduced by 78%, helping to reduce operator fatigue. Rocker switches and control levers are in easy reach. A standard Cat Comfort Series suspension seat and electronically adjustable control pods add even more to comfort and productivity. Multiple isolation mounts significantly reduce sound and vibration for a more relaxed work environment. The high capacity Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system dehumidifies and pressurizes the cab, circulates fresh air, seals out dust and keeps windows clear. Enjoy streaming audio from a portable device or hands-free use of a mobile phone while operating machine with available Bluetooth technology.

In-Dash Instrument Cluster

Easy-to-read, high-visibility gauges and warning lamps keep you aware of critical system information. Cat Messenger offers real-time machine performance and diagnostic data to help you get the most from your machine.

Reliability You Can Count On

Reduce downtime and operating cost through improved serviceability, fuel economy and reduced maintenance, maximizing availability.
Major components are modular, so most can be removed and reinstalled without disturbing other components for peak repair efficiency.
C13 engine has been optimized to be as efficient without compromising performance. Eco mode can be activated to control high engine idle speed and ensure the engine is performing as efficiently as possible, offering additional fuel savings.
Center shift section of the front frame is a heavy-duty steel casting improving stress distribution for enhanced durability.
Rear frame structure is lengthened providing easy access to components in the engine enclosure as well as improved machine balance.
Front axle steering cylinder enhances durability and hydraulic lines are routed to improve reliability.
Modular cooling package provides simple removal and installation of components on the cooling system reducing service time.
Engine enclosure doors provide complete access to the engine without any enclosure post.
Extended maintenance intervals reduce the number of touches and downtime.
Fluid monitoring systems help prevent critical components from damage when levels are low.
Information Display in cab shows service/maintenance concerns and diagnostic codes are logged.

Performance and Productivity

Motor graders have a direct impact on how productively all other mining machines operate â€“ in particular in their role in haul road maintenance. The 16is optimized exactly to this goal:
Additional weight along with adjusted weight balance offers enhanced performance improving traction and the ability to keep ground speed, especially when carrying a large load.
Available with three variations of the C13 engine depending upon sales region.
Emissions reduction technology is transparent, with no action required from the operator.
Multi-color / touch screen information display is the operator's gateway to monitoring machine performance and provides convenient way of modifying machine parameters to tailor performance to the current task. Assist in providing service information for troubleshooting.
Cat Product Linkâ„¢ Elite integrates into the machine, taking guesswork out of equipment management. Provides easy access to machine location, hours, fuel usage, idle time and event codes via the online VisionLinkÂ® user interface helping you manage your fleet and operating costs.
Manage your fleet of machines while reducing fuel burn with Cat Production Measurement System option. The Efficiency Coach and Application Segmentation work together to monitor operators and machines simultaneously. Measure your jobsiteâ€™s efficiency and productivity from anywhere on the website.

Ensuring a Safe Jobsite

Caterpillar considers the safety of everyone in, on or around Cat equipment when developing products or enhancing safety features.
The 16has safety features including -

Access to Tandem
Rear View Camera
Seat Belt Indicator
Access Platform â€“ optional
Service Access Platform â€“ optional
Fire Suppression Ready System â€“ optional

Steering and Implement Controls

Operators are more comfortable and productive with two electro-hydraulic joysticks. Electronically adjustable control pods help position operators for optimal visibility and proper operation.

Joystick Functions

The left joystick controls steering, articulation, return-to-center, wheel lean, gear selection, left moldboard lift cylinder and float. The right joystick controls drawbar, circle and moldboard functions as well as electronic throttle control and manual differential lock/unlock. Joystick lean angle mirrors the steer tires' turning angle. A brake tensioning system holds the joystick in position until the operator moves it. The steering control automatically reduces steering sensitivity at higher ground speeds for predictable control. A Programmable Auxiliary Hydraulic Pod controls up to five additional hydraulic circuits to optimize your machine for specific applications.

Electronic Throttle Control

Provides easy, precise and consistent throttle operation. An automatic/manual mode switch offers flexibility for different applications and operator preferences.

Through regular monitoring of machine conditions, mines can adopt a more proactive approach to maintenance and repair. Equipment health data is a key contributor to that approach. Data helps mines identify equipment problems long before failure.

Accessing the right data at the right time is critical to improving operational intelligence and machine predictive analysis. Cat® MineStar™ Health helps you meet that need by connecting you to your machines and delivering that important information. The MineStar Health portfolio set consists of Connectivity Enablers that collect, convert and transmit equipment data; and Applications that visualize, analyze and report health equipment data.
