Transmissions for Agricultural, Off-highway, Rail, and On-highway Applications
One of the most critical components in any powertrain system is the transmission. When optimized for your application, Cat® transmissions integrate and communicate seamlessly with other powertrain components to provide the power, shifting options, and ease of operation you require. From a simplified transmission product line to a bundled integrated power solution, we have options for your applications.
HAULING
Used in machines that are mostly driven in forward gears, such as off-highway haul trucks.
Typically, hauling transmissions offer six to eight forward speeds, one reverse, and high-powered retarders for braking.
DRAWBAR
Used in machines that work with an implement on the ground, such as agricultural tractors and motor graders.
Drawbar transmissions position speeds in their working range, allowing a steady, heavy pull against resistance.
REVERSING/CYCLING
Typically used in locomotive and rail applications. They are also used in applications that have frequent changes of direction, such as material handlers.
Reversing transmissions offer both forward and reverse gears.
