[. . . ] The Steel Mill Arrangement gives the added protection needed for extended life and lower operating costs in this rugged environment. The arrangement includes steel guarding for critical components, an extreme service transmission, heavy-duty engine and transmission mounts, hydraulic hose protection, insulated battery mounting, remote engine shutdown, remote parking brake release, transmission override, steel cable ladder, steel command control steering shaft cover, seal mounted windshield for quick replacement, narrow steel front fenders, EcoSafe FR46 hydraulic fluid (optional), and the front access platform (optional). A high lift arrangement is available for applications where additional dump clearance is required. All 980H buckets fit both the standard and high lift arrangements. 11 Operator Comfort Comfort and convenience increase efficiency. · Cab sound levels of 76 dB(A) provide quiet operation and reduce fatigue through the long work day Vibration is controlled to improve operator comfort Doors on both sides of the machine provide easy entry and exit Excellent visibility ­ front and rear ­ is provided by distortion-free flat glass, wet-arm wipers, roof channels that drain water off the ROPS posts instead of the windows and a roof overhang that keeps glare out of the operator's eyes Centrally located, easy to access controls and switches with clear, graphical symbols for more intuitive operation Cat Comfort Seat provides strong, durable seating for operators of all shapes and sizes Command Control Steering reduces operator effort significantly · · · Vibration. Caterpillar understands that midsize wheel loaders work in some of the harshest environments. By controlling normal machine vibrations caused by these harsh conditions, operator efficiency and productivity are improved. From the ground up, the Cat 980H is designed with many features, both standard and optional, that reduce vibration. · The oscillating rear axle follows the contour of the ground while allowing the cab to stay steady. The cab is attached to the frame with rubber mounts designed to reduce shock loads from the ground. The articulation joint is equipped with a hydraulic valve that modulates the force of impact when the machine reaches the end of its turning radius. Dump stop snubbing is available to slow the bucket as it reaches the limits of travel. Ride Control is an option designed to reduce jolting and bouncing during load and carry operations. An accumulator acts as a shock absorber to reduce machine pitching and provide a smoother ride over rough terrain. Electronic sensors and hydraulics precisely match implement lever position to the speed and position of the lift arms and bucket cylinder. This precision provides smooth valve actuation and cylinder travel while virtually eliminating abruptness of movement. Automatic lift and lower kickouts and bucket position can be set by the operator from the cab. These electronically controlled cushioned stops eliminate the jerking and bouncing associated with abrupt stops. Entry and Exit. An integrated ladder with self-cleaning steps keeps debris build-up to a minimum. Platforms are wide allowing safe movement to the front or rear of the machine. The main cab door opens a full 180 degrees and latches in place to allow safe navigation to the rear of the machine. · · · · · · · Sound. The operator sound level for the 980H has been reduced by 4 dB(A) ­ to 76 dB(A) ­ a 50 percent improvement over the 980G Series II. The improvement in sound level was made possible by the addition of insulation to the doors and front panels, as well as the rear and floor of the cab. [. . . ] Four wiring harnesses, two heater lines, the steering drive shaft and two bolts for the brake valve are all that need to be disconnected ­ no wires need to be cut. The air conditioner is unhooked using the quick disconnects so no refrigerant is lost. An optional windshield cleaning package consists of two steps for the loader front frame and two additional handrails. Trust the Caterpillar Monitoring System to watch out for your machine. [. . . ]
