EPA Tier 2, EU Stage II compliant ® Operating Specifications Blade Capacities Weights Operating Weight 25 to 45 m3 98 100 kg 33 to 58 yd3 216, 273 lb 854K Wheel Dozer Purpose Built Wheel Dozers designed for long life and low owning and operating costs. Performance · Improved system and component design gives the 854K optimum productivity. 4 Durability/Reliability · Proven components with high hour rebuild and machine life standards provide unmatched reliability. · Diagnostic programs are available to monitor machine health and maintain uptime. [. . . ] · Wing angles help retain the load while dozing. Tilt/Pitch circuit features: · · Operator selected single or dual-tilt Finger tip control for pitch operation Low effort control: · · · Single lever blade control Floor-mounted controls Full pilot oil operated implement control Semi-U Blade. · Increased capacity with the addition of short wings, which include only the dozer end bits, without sacrificing spreading characteristics of straight blades. Heavy-Duty Blade Linkage. These well-proven components are designed for large dozing loads in tough applications. · · Lift cylinders raise and lower the blade for efficient dozing action. Cutting edges utilize DH-2 steel and end bits utilize DH-3 steel to provide maximum service life. Pushbeam, pusharms and tag link are sized for large dozing loads. A switch on the control lever gives the operator the ability to quickly switch from tilt to pitch blade operation. Further blade control is available with a switch on the pod for dual tilt function of the blade. The main control panel on the 854K is located to the right of the operator's seat, keeping everything within reach of the operator. Conveniently placed switches and controls allow better efficiency and improved productivity while minimizing operator fatigue. The throttle lock enables constant elevated idle operation by allowing the operator to preset engine speed for a variety of application. This feature reduces operator fatigue, allowing the operator to concentrate on productivity. Quick shift allows quicker cycle times by automatically shifting from first forward to second reverse. The low-effort, fully pilot dozer control is floor-mounted and adjusts fore and aft so operators of any size can find a comfortable operating position. The single lever control allows operators to control all dozer blade functions with one hand. The finger-tip button on top of the controller controls blade pitch fore and aft. Further blade control is available with a switch on the pod for dual tilt blade function. A slight increase in cab size allows room for a trainer seat with a 76. 2 mm (3 in) seat belt. This provides a safe method to properly train the operator on the job. 9 Safety People are the backbone of your business, and keeping them safe and productive is the number one priority. IMPROVED VISIBILITY. Additional standard visibility features that enhance safety include long-life LED tail lights and articulated wiper/washer system with intermittent feature on front and rear windows, as well as two-speed continuous corner wipers. 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 dozer. The optional High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights provide exceptional lighting for night work. HID lights are a new generation of 35-watt lights featuring a special flood lens and reflector which provides brighter output. [. . . ] Your Cat dealer can help you evaluate the cost involved so you can make the right choice. Machine Selection. Make detailed comparisons of the machines under consideration before purchase. Cat dealers can estimate component life, preventative maintenance cost and the true cost of lost production. Purchase.
