Product Safety. Caterpillar has been and
continues to be proactive in developing
machines that meet or exceed safety
standards. Safety is an integral part
of all machine and systems designs.
Integral ROPS Cab. Resiliently mounted
to the frame to reduce vibration and
sound, the integral ROPS structure,
which provides “five-sided protection”
for the operator, is designed as an
extension of the truck frame.
Payload Guidelines. Safety is integral
to maintaining the highest productivity
in mining machine operation.
The Caterpillar 10/10/20 Payload
Guidelines ensures that steering
and braking systems have sufficient
capacity to perform.
WAVS Camera (optional). An optional
rear vision camera system provides
visibility to the rear of the machine
through an LCD monitor in the cab.
The monitor can be set to activate only
when the truck is in reverse, and the
display is equipped with a sensor to
detect ambient light, which automatically
brightens or dims the display.
High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lights
(optional). Thirty-five Watt HID lights
can replace the standard high beam
65 Watt Halogen lights. The powerful
HID lights are almost two times
brighter and 50 percent more efficient,
improving night time visibility.
Brake Systems. Cat hydraulically
controlled dry front and rear oil-cooled
multiple disc brakes provide exceptional,
fade-resistant braking and retarding for
maximum performance and productivity
in all haul-road conditions. The service
brakes and retarding system are actuated
by modulated hydraulic pressure, while
secondary and parking brake functions
are spring applied and hydraulic released.
This reliable and durable system ensures
braking in the event of complete
hydraulic failure.
Steering System. A twin, double-acting
cylinder steering system is designed to
deliver precise control under all loading
and underfoot conditions. The steering
hydraulic system is separate from the
main hydraulic system to prevent crosscontamination and overheating.
Engine Shutoff Switch. A secondary
engine shutoff switch is located at
ground level.
Electrical System Disconnect. A battery
disconnect switch, located directly above
the front bumper, provides ground-level
lockout of the electrical system.
Ladder/Secondary Egress. A wide,
stationary stairway allows easy access
to and from the machine. The ladder
on the left side of the machine permits
secondary egress.
A stairway lamp illuminates the cab
access stairs and can be activated at
ground level during entry and shut off
with a switch in the cab.

Retarding Performance
To determine retarding performance: Add lengths of all
downhill segments and, using this total, refer to proper
retarding chart. Read from gross weight down to the percent
effective grade. Effective grade equals actual % grade minus
1% for each 10 kg/t (20 lb/ton) of rolling resistance. From this
weight-effective grade point, read horizontally to the curve
with the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum
descent speed brakes can properly handle without exceeding
