Good road conditions are key to extending truck life, reducing maintenance, lowering
fuel costs and reducing tire damage. As a result, cycle times are improved and more ore
is produced at a lower cost.

The 16 includes features that optimize operating cost reduction, uptime and performance
improvements as well as enhanced safety for your mining operations.

3

Structures and Drawbar-Circle-Moldboard

Engineered for maximum production and service life.

4

Structure Strength – Built to Last

The 16’s design to the front frame, hitch area and rear frame provides
performance and durability in heavy duty applications.

• Front Frame Structure – Continuous top and bottom plate construction
provides consistency and strength. The Center Shift Section is made
ofheavy duty steel casting which improves stress distribution to this
high load area of the mainframe for enhanced durability.

• Rear Frame Structure – Is lengthened to provide easy service access
to components in the engine enclosure as well as to improve machine
balance. It also utilizes two bumper castings and thick hitch plates for
improved durability. A mechanical locking pin prevents frame articulation
to ensure safety when servicing or transporting the machine.

Optimized Machine Balance

The 16 is designed to optimize machine balance and performance at
your site. With optimized combination of weight and balance the 16
delivers improved traction and the ability to keep ground speed especially
when carrying a large load on the board. Operators will nd that the
machine will be able to take corners better with improved turning.

Easy Maintenance for More Uptime

A series of shims, patented top-adjust wear strips and wear inserts
areeasy to add or replace. This keeps drawbar-circle-moldboard
components factory-tight for higher quality work, and saves you service
time and costs. An adjustable circle drive reduces service time and
reduces wear by keeping components tight.

5

Engine

Consistent power and reliability for
maximumproductivity.

Engine

The Cat C13 engine gives you the performance to maintain
consistent grading speeds for maximum productivity. Superior
torque and lugging capability pulls through sudden, short-term
load increases.

Standard optimized variable horse power (VHP) is designed
toprovide the ideal amount of power in all gears toefciently
perform diverse motor grader applications while protecting
structure and drive train components.

Engine Economy (ECO) Mode

ECO Mode improves fuel economy by reducing high idle engine speed
while maintaining machine power. ECO Mode controls the high engine
idle speed (capped at 1,900 rpm in working gears) to ensure the engine
is performing as efciently as possible with respect to fuel consumption.

ECO Mode could provide signicant fuel consumption savings
especially in operations that are typically run at light to moderate
loads, high idle and gear usage between 3R to 5F.

Consistent Power to the Ground

This standard, automatically enabled feature changes the engine
power levels in real-time to offset cooling fan losses, resulting in
consistent power to the ground independent of ambient temperatures
and machine workloads. As a result the operator will get the best
performance from the machine all the time.

6

Emission Technology

Providing you reliable, integrated solutions.

Emission Regulations

Emissions reduction technology is designed so regeneration
runs in the background while you work. It delivers the same
power and torque needed for optimal performance. The C13
engine variation with Tier 4 Final/EU Stage V/Japan 2014
(Tier4 Final) emission standards includes:

• Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter can provide a particulate
reduction of greater than 90%. It lters soot from the
exhaust. Soot is then removed through the regeneration
process automatically or manually.

• Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
The Selective Catalytic Reduction system can provide
aNOxreduction of greater than 90%. SCR operation is
transparent tothe operator during operation. The urea
solution, DieselExhaust Fluid (DEF), is pumped from the
DEFtank andis sprayed into the exhaust stream. The DEF
reacts withthe SCRcatalyst to reduce NOx.

• Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
Diesel Exhaust Fluid is a liquid that is injected into the
exhaust system of engines equipped with Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR) systems. Diesel Exhaust Fluid that meets
ISO 22241 specications is required.

• Ground Level Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Fill
DEF ll allows the DEF tank to be lled from ground level.
This removes the burden of climbing onto and off of
themachine to ll the DEF tank and allows the DEF tank
tobelled at the same time the fuel tank is being lled.

7

Power Train

We designed the 16 to give you efciency and longevity in your most
demanding applications.

• Standard Automatic Differential Lock unlocks the differential during a turn and
re-locks when straight for easier operation and improved power train protection.

• Advanced Productivity Electronic Control System (APECS) transmission
isakey contributor to improved speed shift performance. Theoperator will
notice enhanced comfort during shifting resulting in anincreased level of
operator productivity.

• Eight forward and six reverse gears are specically designed to give you
awide operating range for maximum productivity.

• Engine Over-Speed Protection prevents downshifting until an acceptable
safetravel speed has been established.

Front and Rear Axles

The sealed spindle keeps front axle bearings lubricated and protected from
contaminants. The Cat “Live Spindle” design places the larger tapered roller
bearing on the outside, where the load is greater, extending bearing life.

A bolt-on modular rear axle improves serviceability and contamination control
with easy access to differential components.

Hydraulic Brakes

Additional brake capacity is achieved by increased brake disc diameter and
piston area resulting in increased dynamic braketorque.

Manual standard brake wear indicator allows brake wear to be measured
during maintenance work without removal of the brake pods and supports
better maintenance planning.

8

Power Train

Maximum power to the ground.

Front axle steering cylinder has been designed to enhance durability
and hydraulic hoses have been routed to improvereliability.

An optional front guard is available to help protect the front axlefrom
rocks or other debris that could damage the axle oritscomponents.

9

Operator Station

Designed for your comfort, convenience,
andproductivity.

10

Ease of Operation

Two electro-hydraulic joysticks require up to 78% less hand and wrist
movement than conventional lever controls for greatly enhanced operator
comfort and efciency. The intuitive control pattern allows both new and
experienced operators to quickly become productive. Electronically
adjustable control pods help position joysticks for optimal comfort,
visibility and proper operation.

With the touch of a button, the articulation return-to-center feature
automatically returns the machine to a straight frame position from
anyangle.

You can choose the blade lift modulation mode that best ts your
application or operating style: Fine, Normal or Coarse.

Electronic throttle control provides easy, precise and consistent throttle
operation. An automatic/manual mode switch offers exibility for different
applications and operator preferences.

Visibility

Good visibility is key to your safety and efciency. The large windows and
enhanced design of the rear frame provides exceptional visibility and additional
clearance between moldboard and rear tires. A standard 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.

The multi-color/touch screen Information Display is the operator’s gateway
tomonitoring machine performance, a convenient way of modifying machine
parameters to tailor performance to the current task and access the service
information for initial troubleshooting.

The keypad allows activation and deactivation of different functions in the machine
with one touch and indicates whether a function is active or not through light
emitting diode (LED) lights.

Standard Cat Comfort Series suspension seat has six way adjustment control for
optimal support and comfort. Seat side bolsters restrain side-to-side movement,
especially when working on side slopes. Multiple isolation mounts signicantly
reduce sound and vibration for a more relaxed work environment. Optional heated
and ventilated seat provides enhanced comfort for operators in extreme
weatherconditions.

The high capacity Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system
dehumidies and pressurizes the cab, circulates fresh air, seals out dust and
keepswindows clear.

Additional storage space for common used cabin items is included inside the cab.

Optional Bluetooth and satellite radio are available.

11

Hydraulics

Advanced machine controls with precise
andpredictable movements.

Load Sensing Hydraulics (PPPC)

A proven load-sensing system and advanced Proportional
Priority Pressure-Compensating (PPPC) electro-hydraulic
valves give you superior implement control and enhanced
machineperformance. Continuously matching hydraulic
ow/pressure to power demands creates less heat and
reducespower consumption.

• Consistent, Predictable Movement – PPPC valves have different
ow rates for the head and rod ends of the cylinder, so you
can count on consistent, predictable implement response.

• Balanced Flow – Hydraulic ow is proportioned to give you
condence that all implements will operate simultaneously
without slowing the engine or speed of some implements.

Blade Float

Allows the blade to move freely under its own weight. By oating both
cylinders, the blade can follow the contours of the haul road. Floating only one
cylinder permits the toe of the blade to follow a hard surface while the operator
controls the slope with the other lift cylinder. An optional Variable Down Pressure
feature allows you to select the amount of down force when the blade is in
oat. This helps you extend cutting edge life and is effective for removing snow
and mud from a road surface.

Independent Oil Supply

Large, separate hydraulic oil supplies prevent cross-contamination and provide
proper oil cooling, which reduces heat build-up and extends component life.
Cat XT™ hose allows high pressures for maximum power and reduced downtime.

12

Integrated Technologies

Monitor, manage, and enhance

jobsiteoperations.

Cat Product Link™ Elite

Product Link is deeply integrated into your machine, helping you take the guesswork out of equipment management. Easy access to
timely information like machine location, hours, fuel usage, idle time and event codes via the online VisionLink® user interface can help
you effectively manage your eet and lower operating costs.

Product Link licensing not available in all areas. Please consult your Cat dealer for availability.

Cat GRADE

Cat GRADE with Cross Slope is a standard, fully integrated, factory installed grade control system that helps your operator more easily
maintain desired cross slope by automatically controlling one side of the blade. The system is job-ready from day one, and scalable for
the future with upgrade kits that provide additional 2D and/or 3D control features.

Cat MineStar™ System
