Power Train – Engine
The Cat C27 engine is built for power,
reliabilityand efciency.
ACERT Technology
The Cat C27 is U.S. EPA Tier 2 and EU Stage II compliant.
Itdelivers higher power and greater durability for maximum
hauling performance in the most demanding mining applications.
Complete system integration of the engine andtransmission
optimizes performance and efciency.
Power Increase
The 21.8% power increase over previous models provides
unequalled lugging force during acceleration and less
down-shifting on grade. Improved software and updates
inengine technology further improve transmission shifting
anddecrease fuel consumption.
Watercooled Turbocharged and ATAAC
Air-to-air aftercooling provides improved fuel economy by
packing cooler, denser air into cylinders for more complete
combustion of fuel and lower emissions.
Electronic Unit Injection (EUI)
The electronically controlled unit injection fuel system senses
operating conditions and regulates fuel delivery for optimum
fuel efciency. The proven high-pressure fuel system provides
improved response times and more efcient fuel burn with
lower emissions and less smoke.
Electronic Control Module (ECM)
ECM utilizes advanced engine management software to
monitor, control and protect the engine utilizing self-diagnosing
electronic sensors. The computerized system senses operating
conditions and power requirements and adjusts engine for
peak performance and most efcient operation at all times.
Design
Caterpillar designed one-piece cast iron block provides
maximum strength and durability. Two-piece articulated
pistons with forged steel crowns are designed to withstand
higher cylinder pressure.

Power Train – Transmission
More power to the ground for greater productivity.
Mechanical Power Train
The Cat mechanical drive power train and power shift transmission provide unmatched operating efciency and control on steep
grades, in poor underfoot conditions, and on haul roads and drives with high rolling resistance.
Transmission
The Cat seven-speed planetary power shift transmission is matched with the direct-injection C27 engine with ACERT Technology
todeliver constant power over a wide range of operating speeds. Individual clutch modulation provides smooth clutch engagements
tooptimize performance and extend clutch life.
Lock-Up Torque Converter
Combines maximum rimpull and cushioned shifting of torque converter drive with the efciency and performance of direct drive.
Whenengaged, lock-up provides superior power train efciency by delivering more power to the wheels.
Lock-Up Clutch
Quickly releases and re-engages to reduce power train torque loads for smoother shifting, long life and a more comfortable ride.
Remote Transmission Oil Cooler
Increases cooling capacity in the transmission oil circuit to ensure optimal performance on long, uphill loaded hauls.

Cat Data Link
Electronically integrates machine computer systems to optimize overall power train performance, increase reliability and component
life, and reduce operating costs.
• Controlled Throttle Shifting – Regulates engine RPM, torque converter lock-up and transmission clutch engagement for smoother
shifts and longer component life.
• Economy Shift Mode – Decreases fuel consumption, lowers noise levels and potentially longer engine life.
• Directional Shift Management – Regulates engine speed to prevent damage caused by high speed directional changes.
• Body-up Shift Inhibitor – Prevents the transmission from shifting above a pre-programmed gear without the body fully lowered.
Electronic Technician (Cat ET)
Cat ET service tool provides service technicians with easy access to stored diagnostic data through CatData Link to simplify problem
diagnosis and increase availability.
Overspeed Protection
The transmission control electronically senses engine conditions and automatically up-shifts to preventoverspeeding.

Cat Brake System
Superior control for operator condence.
Integrated Braking System
The Cat oil-cooled braking system delivers reliable performance and control in the most extreme underground mining conditions.
Theintegrated system combines the service, secondary, parking brake and retarding functions in the same robust system for optimum
braking efciency.
Oil-Cooled Multiple Disc Brakes
Four-wheel, forced oil-cooled, multiple disc service brakes are continuously cooled by a water-to-oil heat exchangers for non-fade
braking and retarding performance. They are also completely enclosed to prevent contamination and reduce maintenance.
Automatic Retarder Control (ARC)
Electronically controls retarding on grade to maintain optimum engine RPM and oil cooling. Additional braking may be applied using
themanual retarder or the brake pedal. ARC also allows the operator to maintain optimum engine speeds for faster downhill hauls
andgreater productivity. The ARC automatically activates when engine speed exceeds factory preset levels.
Superior Control
Automatic brake modulation offers a smoother ride and greater control, allowing the operator to concentrate on driving.

areresiliently mounted to the mainframe to isolate the operator from vibration for a more comfortable ride.
Standard Enclosed Cab
Standard sound-suppressed ROPS cab provides a quiet, secure and comfortable air-conditioned working environment with fresh,
pressurized, temperature-controlled air circulation.
Cat Comfort Air Suspension Seat
Ergonomic, fully adjustable suspension seat provides optimal operator comfort. Designed to minimize vertical and lateral motion of the
operator. Thick cushions reduce pressure on lower back and thighs. Wide, retractable seat belts provide a secure, comfortable restraint.
Steering Column

Truck Body Systems
Rugged performance and reliability in
toughunderground mining applications.
Body Design
Cat truck bodies are designed for optimal strength,
capacity,durability and low cost per ton.
Cat Truck Bodies
Caterpillar has two body styles to meet your application:
• Dump Body
• Ejector Body
The ejector body offers clean load ejection and can be
easilyremoved and switched with a dump body for greater
machine versatility.
Body Selection
Selection of the right body depends on material, haul road,
and dump conditions. The better the match of body to
application, the greater the efciency. Its diverging ow
design gives clean load ejection, which maximizes production
and avoids material carryback.
Body/Chassis Integration
Cat truck bodies are designed and matched with the
integrated chassis system for optimum structural reliability,
durability and long life.
Fast Hoist Cycle Times
Single-stage hoist cylinders provide fast dump cycle times
of12 seconds for raise and 24 seconds for lower.
Truck Payload Management System (TPMS)
The standard TPMS system calculates the payload the
truckiscarrying and determines truck cycle times.

Structures
Rugged Cat structures – the backbone
oftheAD60’s durability.
Frame Design
The frame uses box-section design with stiff frame beams
toresist twisting forces giving it a longer structural life.
Articulating/Oscillating Hitch
This system provides steering and oscillation and enables the
truck to maintain all wheel ground contact in rough terrain.
Serviceability
Ground-Level Service Access
Easy access to daily service points allows convenient servicing to
tanks, lters, lubrication points, compartment drains and sight gauges
for quick uid level checks.
Diagnostics – Cat Electronic Technician

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull
To determine gradeability performance: Read from gross weight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistance equals
actual percent grade plus rolling resistance as a general guide use 2% for rolling resistance in underground application or refer to the
Caterpillar Performance Handbook. From the total resistance point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear,
then down to maximum speed. Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available and weight on drive wheels.
