CATERPILLAR 966, 972 WHEEL LOADERS


Caterpillar's wheel loaders 966 and 972 

 

The Cat 966 and Cat 972 Next Generation Caterpillar wheel loaders each have 321 and 339 horsepower. The two Caterpillar medium wheel loaders have working weights of 51,124 and 54,858 pounds, respectively. Both are offered in an XE version with a continuous variable gearbox (CVT), which improves fuel economy by up to 35% compared to the outgoing powershift models.

 

What the Cat XE loader can do

The company states that performance and fuel economy have been significantly improved by integrating the cooling, hydraulic, and engine systems with the CVT drivetrain. To enable efficient digging, accurate control, and operation, these loaders independently modify engine rpm and machine speed in place of the torque converter common in mechanical drive systems.

The XE loaders' CVT technology enables fast speeds uphill and smooth, rapid accelerations. Features like speed-hold and anti-rollback enhance machine control on gradients. Advanced rim pull control helps to reduce tire wear. Lower rated engine speeds in the XE series lead to quieter operation and fewer component wear.

 

Cat loader technologies

The manufacturer claims that a combination of common on-board technology allows the loaders to produce up to 10% more than earlier generations. All four versions have Cat Payload with Assist for accurate bucket payload weighing. The operator can boost truck load accuracy by using the manual tip-off feature to confirm the weight in the final bucket load of a cycle. Data is delivered in real time to the operator display.

In order to significantly reduce tire slip and wear, the company claims that Autodig with Auto Set Tires offers automatic bucket loading with effective loading strategies.

 

Watch how Auto Set Tires and the performance bucket boost output:

Application Profiles configure various machine characteristics with the click of a single button to optimize settings for the task. The loader is now simpler to operate and has customizable on-screen job aids, which increases productivity for workers of all experience levels.

The optional Cat Advanced Payload with Assist features Tip Off Assist, better lists management, site integration, and extended scale functions. This addition automatically modifies the final bucket load to match the hauling unit target. On the website, from your computer, tablet, or smartphone, the Cat Productivity membership option provides comprehensive and exhaustive information that may be used to take action.

The 966 and 972 series designs eliminate the 500-hour service intervals and raise maintenance intervals to 1,000 hours.

Ride control serves as a shock absorber to improve the ride quality on unpaved conditions. To reduce noise, the cab contains sound-dampening features, seals, and viscous mounts. An expansive door that can be opened remotely from the ground and inclining steps are additions to the cab entry/exit over earlier models.

The company's basic seat-mounted electro hydraulic joystick steering technology gives the operator more legroom, improved comfort, better loading accuracy, and more precise machine control with fewer arm motions than the previous models.

In order to balance the machine's linkage and shape for high fill factors and material retention, Cat Performance Buckets, which range in size from 3.75 to 18.25 cubic yards, are made.

WHAT IS THE MOST RELIABLE VOLVO TRUCK ENGINE AND WHY?

Which Volvo truck engine has the best reliability and why? You should always research the transmission and engine of the truck you intend to purchase. For the purposes of this blog, we'll keep the debate to Volvo trucks. Which  Volvo engine  is therefore the most reliable? Let's begin by listing the advantages of purchasing a Volvo truck.   Volvo D11 The first item on our list is the  D11 , which can be configured in the VNR, the VNL VHD, and the VAH. Because of its low weight of just 2259 lbs, 325HP, and 1250lb-ft of torque, the D11 can tow your daily products with ease. It has a typical SOHC engine with four valves per cylinder. Performance is increased and the common rail injectors system is trustworthy for the whole life of the truck.   Volvo D13 The following in line is the  Volvo D13 engine . The D13 is usually regarded as the category's most flexible engine. A variety of HP variations are accessible, including the 375, 406, 425, 435, 455 and 500. As...

How to Know If It Is A Bad EGR Cooler?

Maintaining an EGR cooler is not a hard task if you know when it needs your attention. There are certain symptoms that can be observed which will help you repair the EGR cooler or get it replaced. Let us now have a look at the symptoms that might suggest that it is a bad EGR cooler and that it might need a replacement. One can choose EGR coolers from Navistar or Cummins like  Navistar maxxforce 9 EGR cooler   as they are affordable and of the best quality. The Symptom 1: There can be a loss of coolant from the degas bottle or from the cooling system. The reason for the same can be unexplained and this can only occur when you have a faulty EGR cooler. Experts always suggest users go with reputed ones like  Cummins ISX EGR cooler .  When there is a leakage in the EGR cooler, the coolant can get leaked into the exhaust system but does not come outside of the engine. A number of people often ignore this kind of a warning sign and this can turn out to be quite expensive...

NAVISTAR ADDING SCR TO MAXXFORCE 9 AND 10 ENGINES

Thanks to Navistar, the MaxxForce 9 and 10 engines have SCR.   By equipping its  MaxxForce 9  and  MaxxForce 10  engines with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment, according to Navistar, it will complete the conversion of its mid-range engines to SCR.   The company previously sold the International DuraStar with the  Cummins ISB 6.7 engine . The MaxxForce 9 and 10 can fit in vehicles with DuraStar and WorkStar engines.   According to Bill Kozek, President of North America Truck and Parts at Navistar, "We have great expectations for this chassis/engine combination as we watch the construction sector continue to recover." "Our medium-duty shift to SCR was successful with our DuraStar with Cummins ISB6.7."   Because we are aware that some of our customers require greater horsepower and torque, we are pleased to provide these customers with an alternative engine option by incorporating SCR into our 9-liter and 10-liter engines. ...
