| Caterpillar will display mining equipment  Caterpillar will display surface and underground mining equipment and technology capabilities at the MINExpo 2008. The Central Hall will be the stage for introducing the new Caterpillar F-Series mining trucks including the next generation of mechanical drive trucks as well as the new Cat AC electric drive trucks. The F-Series trucks feature the new Caterpillar C175 diesel engine, a state-of-the-art design proven efficient and reliable in power generation applications. A cut-away display of the new engine will be exhibited. In addition to the long anticipated new trucks, the new D11T Track-Type Tractor will be on public display for the first time, as will the newest in the line of Caterpillar large wheel loaders, the 993K. The recently introduced tractor offers enhancements for the operator - such as a hydraulically actuated access ladder and a two-camera Work Area Vision System (WAVS). A Cat C32 engine provides clean, fuel-efficient power; a new cab improves comfort and productivity; and advanced electronics make the D11T easier to operate and service. Underground mining products on display include the latest underground loader and truck models as well as technology to boost productivity and safety in the underground environment. New surface mining technology products, too, will be shown. Caterpillar and Cat dealer product support capabilities share the stage with the big iron and the technology products. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
