MACHINE LIFE. The 993K is designed to meet customer rebuild requirements and a high hour structure life. This is accomplished through design emphasis put on key components:

Caterpillar Designed Components.

Components used to build Cat Wheel Loaders are designed and manufactured to Caterpillar quality standards to ensure maximum performance even

in extreme operating conditions.

Linkage. The 993K features the field proven Z-bar linkage design with new maintenance-free sleeve bearing (SB) pins. A key benefit of the SB pins is when maintenance is required, customers can schedule change out of pins on a planned maintenance day. Design of the SB pins allows this planned downtime due to the fact it has low risk of consequential damage. In addition, significant growth in width for support of the Z-bar linkage further increases strength and durability.

Cat Planetary Power Shift Transmission. The 993K has increased strength and reliability by utilizing a similar planetary gear group used in the Cat 994F.

Front and Rear Frames. The front and rear frames are spread further apart for improved bearing life. A key

differentiator from competitive machines is the box section rear frame and four plate loader tower. The box section absorbs torsional forces generated in a loading cycle, maintaining alignment for hitch pins and drive line. The fourplate loader tower resists shock and torsional loads maintaining hitch and loader linkage pin alignment.

Axle Shaft Service Brake. Sharing similar components with the Cat D9R, this service brake provides improved retarding capabilities and better braking ability. Positive oil flow and brake oil cooling result in improved brake disc durability. Additionally, the 993K third gear run out stopping distance

is greatly reduced.

4

• Next Generation Modular Radiator (NGMR). Utilizing 14 parallel flow system modular cores, the NGMR increases cooling performance by only drawing cooler ambient air through the radiator system.

PROVEN ENGINE TECHNOLOGY.

The 993K utilizes the Cat® C32 engine which fully meets U.S. EPA Tier 2/EU Stage II emissions requirements.

This Mechanically Actuated Electronically Controlled Unit Injection (MEUI) diesel engine shares a common platform with the Cat 777F, 854K, 992K and Dll.

DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAMS.

Monitoring product health is key to maintaining reliability of any equipment. Many programs are available on the 993K, both as standard and optional features, to help you track machine condition.

VIMS Monitoring System with Enhanced Display. Monitoring over 100 machine parameters, VIMS records these parameters for maintaining and optimizing the machine. VIMS features System Events and Data Events, giving notification from machine malfunction to changes in pre-programmed machine settings.

Product Link. Product Link is a state- of-the-art satellite technology based product that provides an information flow between machine on-board systems and the Caterpillar operations center. Multiple types of information can be collected and tracked – from machine location and service meter hours to health and productivity information.

Equipment Manager. With a subscription to Equipment Manager through the

Cat Dealer StoreFront, the information collected through Product Link can be transmitted to a computer. With fast, easy-to-access machine information, you can optimize asset utilization, reduce security risks, improve maintenance management and implement beforefailure repair strategies.

S·O·SSM Services. Keep minor repairs from becoming major ones and avoid complete failures. By regularly taking samples from the ports provided, your Cat dealer tracks wear of components and parts, oil performance and oil condition and uses that data to predict wear-related problems before they happen.

Left Pedal

Impeller Clutch Torque Converter (ICTC)/Rimpull Control System.

Mixing new with a current validated system, customers can maintain hydraulic balance while digging and loading by utilizing the ICTC/Rimpull Control System. The ICTC enables the operator to finely modulate rimpull for smooth machine operation.

Steering System. Load sensing steering reduces the demand on the hydraulic system when steering is not activated. By delivering only the power draw that is needed, engine power is reserved for productive work.

Double Reduction Final Drives.

The 993K final drives are built off the D11 design platform and tailored for wheel loader applications. The double reduction final drives enable the increase in rimpull. Additional benefits include significantly reducing power train stresses resulting in longer overall power train life, durability and ease of service.

Linkage Pins. The 993K features durable, service-free,oil filled and sealed-for-life Cat Sleeve Bearing (SB) pins. The SB pins eliminate the need for daily greasing of the front linkage and requires no routine maintenance for continued uptime.

Cat Planetary Power Shift Transmission. The 993K planetary power shift transmission assists in the increased rimpull. This transmission is electronically controlled and features three forward and three reverse speeds.

Transmission features include:

Integrated shifting/steering control with F/N/R rocker switch and upshift/downshift switches.

Transmission clutch control for improved shift quality, component life and operator comfort.

ICTC for improved rimpull control and transmission clutch durability.

Truck Pass Match. It is not always about working harder, but working smarter – optimize the wheel loader to the trucks. This is accomplished through even passes when loading and optimizing operation for efficiencies. The 993K was developed to optimize pass match with key trucks in this size class and job site requirements.

Safety

People are the backbone of your business and keeping them safe and productive is the number one priority. At Caterpillar, we have designed the 993K with your most important asset in mind.

Good visibility for a safe work environment

Get your operator safely on and off the 993K

Daily and routine maintenance features allow your service technician to safely service the machine

IMPROVED VISIBILITY. Good visibility, whether it is an operator needing front viewing for positioning to a truck or side viewing for vehicles or people in the work area, is key to a safe work environment. With a 14 percent increase in cab space and a .6 m (2 ft) increase in cab height, the operator has one of the best viewing capabilities in the industry for this wheel loader class size. Additional standard visibility features that enhance safety include:

Long life LED tail lights

Articulated wiper/washer system with intermittent feature on front and rear windows

Optional Rear Vision Camera with In-Cab Monitor. An optional rear vision camera with 178 mm (7 in), in-cab, color display monitor is available to give a close view of behind the wheel loader.

Working 24 Hours a Day. Any time of the day and in all types of weather, the 993K has a number of features

to ensure safe visibility. Rear heated mirrors are available for quick defrost and good visibility in winter conditions. The optional High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights provide exceptional lighting for night work. Rotating warning beacons are also available as a safety feature.

ACCESS and EGRESS. Getting on and off the machine is one of the leading causes of injury on a jobsite. The new 993K has several standard and optional features that help to ensure your operators get safely on and off the machine.

Wider Platform Access Stairs. Both left and right stairways are standard and have increased in width to provide additional room, 600 mm (23.6 in),

for operators and service technicians to access the cab and to perform platform maintenance procedures. Optional roading fenders are available to prevent mud and debris build up on the steps and rails.

Rear Access Egress System (RAES) Attachment. An optional manlift replaces the left hand ladder and lifts or lowers the operator or service technician, personal belongings and tools safely on and off the platform.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY. Daily and routine maintenance should not pose a safety hazard to your operator or service technician. With the 993K, design effort was taken to group service points with convenient access. With the standard service or optional deluxe service center, technicians can plan daily maintenance by checking fluid levels and machine parameters. This allows the technician to prep for required maintenance and take all material on the bumper platform at one time rather than make trips on and off the machine to get required maintenance components or fluids.

Bumper Service Center. Another key safety service point is the Bumper Service Center. A centralized service center located at ground level on the left hand, rear side of the 993K includes a lockable battery disconnect (1), auxiliary jump start receptacle (2), stairway light switch (3) and engine shutdown switch

(4). This center also contains lockout switches allowing your service technician to perform routine maintenance while ensuring the machine stays static.

Transmission Lockout Switch (6).

The transmission lockout switch does not allow the transmission to shift out of neutral, even if running. This feature is designed for service procedures that requires machines to be running but need the transmission disabled for added safety.

SAFETY IN OPERATOR ENVIRONMENT.

The operator and safety go hand-in-hand. Many features that enhance operator comfort also aid in keeping your operator safe from lowering noise levels to design features that lower vibration and repetitive motion. Key standard features that aid operator safety include low effort implement controls integrated with the seat for ease of adjustment by the operator, front windshield cleaning platform with handrails and a seat belted trainer’s seat for convenient operator training on the job site. Additional safety features include a cab filtration system that removes dust and debris from the cab air. Optional for dusty applications is a cab pre-cleaner that reduces the amount of dust prior to reaching the cab filter.
