High productivity no matter the application:
Elevated sprocket and suspended undercarriage work together:
- Increases traction, giving the operator a smooth ride in all conditions
- Makes component removal easy for quick repair times
- Elevated sprocket transfers implement shock loads to mainframe, isolating final drives, axles and steering components from harsh impact
Applications
- RIPPING OVERBURDEN
- PRODUCTION DOZING
- RECLAMATION
- WINCHING
- FLEET SUPPORT
- SITE MAINTENANCE
- STOCKPILING
PERFORMANCE & EFFICIENCY ENHANCEMENTS
- Torque converter with stator clutch—high efficiency, less fuel
- Bogie suspension—less slippage, more production
- Differential steering—large loads, fast and smooth maneuvering
LESS SLIPPAGE. MORE PRODUCTION
The D9 features Bogie Suspension, which allows the track to conform to ground condition, providing more ground contact, especially in hard, uneven terrain. Higher traction means less slippage, better balance and a smoother ride.
LARGE LOADS. SMOOTH MANEUVERING.
The D9 features differential steering, so large blade loads can be smoothly maneuvered throughout a turn. Differential provides a tight turning radius and maintains a high ground speed while turning to keep productivity high. The planetary powershift transmission controls permit smooth speed and direction changes with Advanced Productivity Electronic Control System (APECS).
Torque converter with stator clutch
1) Automatically frees up stator when torque multiplication is not required under low load, resulting in:
–Higher drivetrain efficiency
–Less fuel consumption
2) Locks automatically during higher loads and retarding
3) No noticeable changes felt by operator
Unparalleled cab
- Enhanced ergonomics (throttle control, one screen instead of multiple, optional ladder)
- Fully adjustable air suspension seat (heated/cooled)
- Low-effort electronic transmission, steering, ripper and dozer controls
- Automatic temperature control
Designed for comfort
- Low effort and reduced exposure to noise and vibration
- Suspended undercarriage absorbs impact, reduces shock loads and keeps track on the ground
Productivity enhanced
Information display is larger, faster and more powerful
- HD multi-color touchscreen
- Stores 41 languages onboard
- Fewer buttons and screens in the cab – Intuitive menu for operator settings
- Individual light control
- Provides real-time feedback on dozer performance
- Work monitor screen (optional) helps operator maximize productivity
Duralink™ undercarriage
20-40% longer undercarriage life and 8000-hour seal life with new, heavy-duty extended-life (HDXL) undercarriage
command for dozing
Multiple levels of remote-control operation
- Over-the-shoulder remote-control console
- Remote operator station
Gives operators full control of the dozer without being exposed to dust, noise, vibration or other hazards
