Steering
Hydraulically actuated, multiple-disc oil clutches with 24 friction surfaces in each clutch. Oil-cooled contracting band brakes. Floor-mounted controls.



Counterweights

Adjustable, hydraulically controlled
Counterweight frame 1,450 kg 3,200 lb
13 segments at 600 kg / 1,330 lb. each 7,840 kg 17,290 lb
Counterweight lift frame 700 kg 1,540 lb
Hydraulic cylinders, lift links & hardware 290 kg 640 lb
Total weight extendable 10,280 kg 22,670 lb

Full hydraulic control. High mounting counterweight pivot point gives excellent side and bottom clearance. Over-center design prevents creep-out when retracted. Minimum overall width for easier maneuvering and shipping.



Undercarriage

Sealed Track extends pin and bushing life and reduces wear on links and rollers. Track rollers, carrier rollers and idlers are Lifetime Lubricated. Sprockets have bolt-on rim segments.Two-piece master track links.

Number of track rollers (each side) 7  
Track guage 2,290 mm 90"
Number of track shoes, each side 42  
Track shoe width (standard) 710 mm 28"
Optional width 760 mm 30"
Track length on ground 3,280 mm 129"
Ground contact area (standard shoes) 4.65 sq. m 7,220 sq. in.
Ground clearance from ground face of shoe 530 mm 21"
Grouser height from ground face of shoe 78 mm 3.06"



Boom control
Safety pawl holds boom drum. Interlock prevents accidental reversal with pawl engaged. Safety kickout prevents boom bending.



Caterpillar Engine
