Controls and gauges are positioned within easy reach for optimum efficiency and superior control. 8 Truck Body Systems Caterpillar truck bodies are designed as a system to achieve rated payload and provide the lowest cost-per-ton hauling system when matched with Cat Underground Mining Loaders. [. . . ] Regulates engine RPM during shifting to reduce power train stress and clutch wear by controlling engine speed, torque converter lock-up and transmission clutch engagement for smoother shifts and longer component life. 6 Caterpillar Brake System Reliable braking with superior control gives the operator the confidence to focus on productivity. Integrated Braking System. The Cat oilcooled braking system delivers reliable performance and control in the most extreme underground mining conditions. The integrated system combines the service, secondary, parking brake and retarding functions in the same robust system for optimum braking efficiency. Caterpillar four-wheel, forced oil-cooled, multiple disc service brakes are continuously cooled by a water-to-oil heat exchanger for exceptional, nonfade braking and retarding performance. Cat oil-cooled disc brakes are designed with large discs and plates for reliable, adjustment-free operation and performance. Brakes are completely enclosed and sealed to prevent contamination and reduce maintenance. This design absorbs the braking forces by shearing the oil molecules and carrying heat away to extend brake life. Electronically controls retarding on grade to maintain optimum engine rpm and oil cooling. Additional braking may be applied using the manual retarder or the brake pedal. ARC allows the operator to maintain optimum engine speeds for faster downhill hauls and greater productivity. Automatic brake modulation offers a smoother ride and better control in slippery conditions, allowing the operator to concentrate on driving. 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Parking/Secondary Piston Service/Retarding Piston Friction Discs Steel Plates Actuating Springs Cooling Oil In Cooling Oil Out 3 7 4 5 6 Ease of Operation. ARC increases operating ease, resulting in greater operator confidence with less fatigue. Automatically activates ARC when engine speed exceeds factory preset levels, regardless of operator inputs, to avoid potentially damaging engine overspeeds. Fuel Efficiency. The engine provides additional retarding by running against compression on downhill hauls. During retarding applications the engine ECM reduces fuel injection to minimum value or exceptional fuel economy. 7 Operator's Station Ergonomically designed for operator comfort, superior control and high productivity. Ergonomic Layout. The AD55B operator station is ergonomically designed for total machine control in a comfortable, productive and safe environment. All controls, levers switches and gauges are positioned to maximize productivity and minimize operator fatigue. Integral to the cab and frame, both the Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) and Falling Objects Protective Structure (FOPS) are resiliently mounted to the mainframe to isolate the operator from vibration for a more comfortable ride. Optional soundsuppressed ROPS cab provides a quiet, secure working environment. Enclosed design provides fresh, pressurized, temperature-controlled air circulation with air-conditioned comfort and a more comfortable working environment. Suspension Seat. Ergonomically designed, fully adjustable suspension seat with adjustable armrests provide optimal operator comfort. Comfort wheel with tilt steering provides a comfortable driving position, secure grip and greater control.
