The Models
Compact Loader
The compact loader, congured as either CL110
10 tonnes (11.02 tons) or CL115 13.5 tonnes (15 tons),
is designed to operate in the sub 10 tonne (11.02 ton)
capacity market and shares many features with the rest
of the Cat diesel product portfolio. This makes it easily
recognizable as a Cat model in terms of design and
manufacture. The machine has a reduced presence
within the roadway when compared to any other modern
machine currently available on the market today, making
its size and carrying capacity a benchmark in the industry.
The design and manufacture of the Compact Loader is
modular, allowing the customer to choose more than just
the attachments. Customers may also choose cab height
and location, engine, and lift capacity, to name a few.
SU488 LHD
Operations with clearance as low as 1.40 m (58 in) can
utilize the SU488 LHD underground while maintaining
a 10.8 tonne (12 ton) lift capacity. The SU488 LHD
can quickly go from bucket to other capabilities and
applications utilizing different RAS (Rapid Attachment
Systems). Speed range is up to 19.3 km/h (12 mph) with
a multi-speed transmission. Coupled with a Cat dry
scrubber system, the SU488 LHD can effectively reduce
common concerns of exhaust temperatures. The LHD
model is constructed with a 114 kW (153 hp) Deutz 1013
and is available with different power pack options
depending upon usage.

SU488 LHD
CL10
The CL210 operates in the 10 tonne (11.02 ton) capacity
LHD and utility vehicles segment and can be supplied
with either a Rapid Dump ‘Z’ link or parallel lift
arrangements and a variety of Cat RAS attachments.
In combination with the SH150 trailer, the CL210 can be
used for rapid transport of roof supports.
CL15
The CL215 is the 15 tonne (16.53 ton) heavy-lift LHD and
utility vehicle in the Cat range. Like the CL210, it can be
used as a shield mover in combination with the SH150
trailer, allowing for the LHD to become a true utility
vehicle with multifunction capabilities.

to ensure that your diesel LHD offers great productivity
and return on investment.
CL10 compact loader with RAS bucket attached
Multipurpose
High Reliability, Low Cost
To ensure low life-cycle costs and high availability, all
vehicles use tried-and-tested, commercially available
powertrain components that offer high reliability and
availability with high fuel economy. Components are
of the highest possible quality and meet or exceed
operational and design requirements. The use of reliable
and powerful diesel engines ensures maximum power in
a compact design.
Highly Maneuverable
The vehicles feature a central articulation joint that
combines oscillation and articulation with optimum
maneuverability and stability.
Compact
Space is at a premium in underground roadways, so the
vehicles are designed to be compact, with a minimal
prole and roadway presence. They are also designed to be
cost-effective in operation and to meet the user’s need for
the safest maximum possible capacity, speed and power.
The Rapid Attach System (RAS) allows a range of
accessories to be tted, thus enhancing the exibility
of the vehicles in operation. RAS allows the use of
accessories from forks and buckets to jib cranes and
reelers, as well as many others.
Compliance
Compliance to regional regulations and guidelines is
achieved by using a variety of engine and exhaust
conditioner packages. Cat equipment is compliant
to Australian Standard MDG guidelines, MSHA
(USA), MA (China) and DGMS (India) legislative
regulations for underground coal mining. Caterpillar
also supplies diesel equipment for non-coal mining
applications.
Rugged
Engineering excellence with computer-assisted,
mine-specic design and Finite Element Analysis, quality
assurance at every stage, and the use of high-performance
components and materials ensure that your vehicle is built
for long service life in the harshest mining environments.
Environmentally Responsible
Because they work underground, the vehicles are designed
to operate with the lowest heat rejection and lowest
possible emissions with exhaust cooling and particulate
ltering systems that meet the highest standards.

Operator Safety and Comfort
The cockpit design features ergonomic, intuitive
controls and optimum visibility and safety. This
means that operators already trained on one machine
can quickly learn to use the others in the range. All
vehicles are compliant with current and anticipated
future safety requirements, such as exhaust ltering,
falling object protection and maximized visibility.
Pilot hydraulic- and electronic-controlled vehicles
are available with the option of dials and gauges or
an LCD instrument cluster. Demanding working
conditions require that the operator is comfortable
for the entire shift, so suspension seats and restraint
systems have been selected to assist in fatigue
management and increase safety.

Common Features
Electrical Systems
Engines
All machines can be supplied with various diesel engine
packages suited to the customer’s requirements. Like all
components, our engines are industry-recognized and
accepted. This means high quality, excellent availability
and economy of spare parts, and, as a result, high service
availability. A broad range of mechanical and electronic
engine packages are available, allowing vehicles to be tailored
to specic applications or to meet regulations.
Exhaust Systems
Caterpillar can offer the underground mining industry the
choice of either a wet exhaust scrubber system or a dry
particulate lter system. Both the wet and dry exhaust
scrubbers employ a particulate ltration system with an inline
purier and catalytic converter. Caterpillar has designed
a proprietary diesel exhaust solution to meet the highest
emissions standards for the health and safety of personnel.
The replaceable Cat particulate lter captures particulate
matter, preventing its release into the mining atmosphere.
A heat exchanger or wet bath scrubber is used to reduce
exhaust-gas temperature and a catalytic converter reduces
gaseous emissions. The exhaust system is monitored by the Cat
DCS electronic shutdown system, which prevents the machine
from being operated in unsafe conditions like low water levels
or high exhaust system temperatures. Both dry and wet exhaust
packages are approved for underground coal mine operation.
The base specication LHD electrics consist of four
ameproof lights powered by a ameproof Cat alternator
and a DCS intrinsically safe engine monitoring and
shutdown system. There are a number of additional
options available for explosion or non-explosion protected
machines that include:
• LCD graphical display in ameproof enclosure
• Dimming and directional control of the lights
• Solenoid-operated valve banks with spool monitoring
• Electronic shift transmission
• 12 V or 24 V electrical system
• Reversing camera and display in ameproof enclosure
• Electronic joystick control of hydraulics

high-speed shield hauler capable of carrying 50 tonnes
(55.12 tons) and shields up to 2 m (6.56 ft) wide with an
integrated hydraulic loading winch. The trailer is designed
for moving roof supports and chocks. A hydraulic
assist drive system can be tted as an optional upgrade
to support areas of inconsistent oor and roadway
conditions for intermittent operation. A rated hydraulic
winch is available for loading roof supports and two
in-oor load positional cylinders can be used for assistance
with unloading. With spring-applied hydraulic brakes
and solid rubber wheels, the trailer is hydraulically lowered
and raised for easy loading and unloading of transport.
The trailer has a capacity of 30 000 or 50 000 kg
(66,139 or 110,231 lbs) and can carry a 2 m (6.56 ft) roof

General Purpose Trailer
With a tare mass of 3 tonnes (3.31 tons), the general
purpose trailer can carry loads of up to 7 tonnes
(7.72 tons). With a simple ladder-frame design, the width
of the trailer can be selected to suit mine drive heading
sizes. The at deck and gate railing system allow exible
loading and unloading from either side with forks or
handling devices.
Conveyor Structure Module
Fitting on top of a standard general purpose trailer, the
conveyor structure module allows all components for
a certain section of conveyor to be loaded and stored
together. This modular approach not only speeds loading
and unloading, but prevents damage to and loss of
valuable components.
