Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull

To determine gradeability performance: Read from gross weight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistance equals actual percent grade plus rolling resistance as a general guide use 2% for rolling resistance in underground application or refer to the Caterpillar Performance Handbook. From the total resistance point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum speed. Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available and weight on drive wheels.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull

To determine gradeability performance: Read from gross weight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistance equals actual percent grade plus rolling resistance as a general guide use 2% for rolling resistance in underground application or refer to the Caterpillar Performance Handbook. From the total resistance point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum speed. Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available and weight on drive wheels.

Structures RuggedCatstructuresthebackboneoftheAD30sdurability.

Frame Design The frame incorporates a box-section design with wide and stiff frame beams to handle torque loads. The frame design decreases stress in the hitch area and optimizes suspension geometry. Materials and weld joints are matched to optimize the life of the structure.

Articulating/Oscillating Hitch The articulating hitch provides the truck with steering articulation and the oscillation ensures the truck maintains all wheel ground contact in rough terrain. Hardened steel pins, taper roller bearings and oscillating stops allows the rear frame to move independently from the front frame.

ServiceabilityMoretimeforproduction

Service Access Easy access to daily service points simplifies servicing and reduces time spent on regular maintenance procedures.

Ground-Level Access Allows convenient servicing to tanks, fi lters, lubrication points and compartment drains.

Diagnostics Electronic control system enables quick diagnosis of engine conditions and effective maintenance and repairs utilizing the Cat Electronic Technician (Cat ET) Service Tool.

Air Filters Radial seal air filters are easy to change, reducing time required for air fi lter maintenance.

Sight Gauges Makes fluid level checks quick and easy. These include the hydraulic,transmission and coolant reservoirs.

Sealed Electrical Connectors Electrical connectors are sealed to lock out dust and moisture. Harnesses are covered for protection. Wires are color and number coded for easy diagnosis and repair.

Scheduled Oil Sampling SOSSM helps avoid minor repairs becoming major ones.

Safety Designed with safety as the first priority.

Product Safety Caterpillar continues to be proactive in developing mining machines that meet or exceed safety standards. Safety is an integral part of all machine and systems designs.

Engine Shutoff Switch A secondary engine shutoff switch is located at ground level.

Integral ROPS Cab The ROPS is resiliently mounted to the frame to isolate the operator from vibration for a more comfortable ride.

Brake Systems Four corner oil-cooled multiple disc braking system provides excellent control. The service brakes and retarding system are hydraulically actuated and modulated, while the parking brake function is spring applied and fluid released. This system assures braking in the event of loss of hydraulic pressure.

Operator Present System Automatically engages parking brake, neutralizes steering, implement and transmission control, andshuts down the engine in the event operator fails to apply the park brake prior to exiting the cab.

Standard Safety Features Anti-Skid upper deck surfaces, upper deck handrails, 3-point cabin and machine access, push out safety glass, steering frame lock, rear window guard, body retaining pins, automatic retarder control, exhaust heat shielding and firewall, hitch hydraulic hoses burst protection sleeves, tailgate retaining pins (ejector body), hot and cold side of engine.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull

To determine gradeability performance: Read from gross weight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistance equals actual percent grade plus rolling resistance as a general guide use 2% for rolling resistance in underground application or refer to the Caterpillar Performance Handbook. From the total resistance point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum speed. Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available and weight on drive wheels.
