Optimum Efficiency

    
• The Cat C18 engine is designed for maximum fuel efficiency in the most demanding applications.
    
• Experience reliable efficiency with complete control over injection timing, duration, and pressure with Mechanically Actuated Electronic Unit Injection (MEUI™).
    
• Best-in-class Cat planetary powershift transmission features consistent, smooth shifting and efficiency through integrated electronic controls.
    
• Extended engine life and improved fuel efficiency with reduced rated speed.
    
• Impeller Clutch Torque Converter (ICTC) and Rimpull Control System (RCS) provide precise rimpull control.
    
• Load sensing hydraulic steering system enables precise machine control for easier loading.
    
• Lock-up torque converter with advanced control of lock-up speed.
    
• On demand cooling fan protects investment and lengthens lifecycle.
    
• Fully integrated electronic engine controls provide quick response.

Innovative Technology

    
• Integrated technologies allow you to monitor, manage, and enhance your jobsite operations.
    
• Product Link™ remote monitoring provides valuable insight into machine or fleet performance through the VisionLink® interface, so you can make decisions that boost jobsite efficiency and lower operating costs.
    
• Vital Information Management System (VIMS™) 3G touchscreen monitor gives access to a wide range of sensor information and enhanced machine data to resolve problems before machine failure.
    
• Optional Cat Detect technologies enhance awareness of the environment around the machine for increased safety.

Improved Sustainability

    
• The engine is available in configurations that meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards, or equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3 or U.S. EPA Tier 2.
    
• Automatic Engine Idle Shutdown conserves fuel when machine is not in use.
    
• Generate less waste with maintenance-free batteries.
    
• Maximize machine life and lower operating costs with Caterpillar Reman and Certified Rebuild programs, which utilize reused or remanufactured components for 40 to 70% cost savings.
    
• Retrofit packages from Caterpillar deliver new features to older machines to get the most from your investment.

    
• Available in two scoop arrangements – wood chip and coal.
    
• Cat wood chip and coal scoops have the unique capability of maximizing your production by both dozing and carrying a load with each pass.
    
• A purpose built hydraulic system, optimized for use with this work tool, maximizes machine productivity and efficiency.
    
• Dual lift cylinders provide hydraulic lift capacity matched to the demands of the application.
    
• Can be equipped with optional ground level accessible swing-out reversing fan for quick inspection and easy cleanout.
    
• Equipped with underhood ventilation system which creates a neutral pressure environment to prevent wood chip ingestion from hood openings while providing fresh air to the alternator, electronics, and turbo.
    
• Extended top guard for increased capacity for wood chip scoops.
    
• Higher ground pressure decreases risk of fires and maximizes use of storage space.
    
• Less damage to coal or wood chips due to rubber tires.
    
• High ground speed provides ability to manage multiple piles.
    
• Scoop design allows load and carry function for mixing.
    
• Lift and tip-out design makes stockpiling operations easy.
    
• Scoop tilt control is standard to maximize worksite efficiency.
