Features

SAFETY

        
  • Massive material movement with a reduced number of people, making it possible for fewer people to be put in potentially hazardous situations.
    •     
  • Machines that undergo risk assessments and are designed to meet strict codes and regulations.
    •     
  • Stairways, walkways, platforms and access points incorporated throughout to ensure safe and convenient access for maintenance personnel.
    •     
  • Dual access/egress doors and an optimally placed trainer seat with independent emergency stop.
    •     
  • Safety features incorporated into the operator cab, structures, surfaces and electrical equipment.
    •     
  • Safety-enhanced electrical system, with a single cabinet separating the power electronics from the centralized control electronics that restricts personnel access to the power electronics when troubleshooting; separation of the control electronics provides shielding of electrical noise that would eliminate high-frequency bonding.

CONFIGURED FOR EACH SITE

  • Application engineers who work collaboratively with mines, considering factors such as digging environment, mine life, mine plan and annual production targets to determine the proper dragline configuration for each customer's mine site.
  • Engineers who analyze mine environments and apply the findings to recommendations for new draglines as well as upgrade recommendations for existing dragline fleets.

OPERATOR CAB

  • State-of-the-art operator cab that is the product of a multi-year collaboration between Caterpillar, mining companies and operators.
  • Provides industry-leading visibility with excellent line of sight supplemented by optimally mounted cameras and display screens.
  • Available with an ergonomic, adjustable operator’s seat, low-effort joysticks and dual display screens optimized for operator comfort.

TRAINING

  • Caterpillar product trainers with years of experience with hands-on and classroom training, offering the necessary skills to implement changes on all aspects of operation, machine management and maintenance.
  • Cutting-edge technologies used to improve knowledge retention, increase training efficiency and create a safer learning environment via machine simulation.

RELIABILITY & DURABILITY

  • Major structures designed for extended performance in harsh mining conditions, manufactured using impact-resistant, high-strength steel with select welds of full-penetration, profiled and ground type.
  • Large furnaces used to stress-relieve entire weldments for reduced susceptibility to cracking.
  • Equipped with AC IGBT Electrics, which deliver superior availability — routinely greater than 95% — thanks to fewer components, interchangeable inverters, no fuses or circuit breakers required, elimination of regular maintenance on power control modules, and reduced motor maintenance.
  • Mine-quality IGBT system with rugged welded cabinets to withstand harsh mining conditions.
