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.

The Cat
C18 Engine is built for power, reliability and effciency.

ACERT Technology
The Cat C18 is U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage III compliant.
It delivers higher power and greater durability for maximum
hauling performance in the most demanding mining
applications. Complete system integration of the engine
andtransmission optimizes performance and effciency.
Power Increase
The 15.5% power increase over previous models provides
unequalled lugging force during acceleration and less down-
shifting on grade. Improved software and updates in engine
technology further improve transmission shifting and
decrease fuel consumption.
Watercooled Turbocharged and ATAAC
Air-to-air aftercooling provides improved fuel economy by
Electronic Unit Injection (EUI)
The electronically controlled unit injection fuel system senses
operating conditions and regulates fuel delivery for optimum
fuel effciency. The proven high-pressure fuel system provides
improved response times and more effcient fuel burn with
lower emissions and less smoke.
Electronic Control Module (ECM)
ECM utilizes advanced engine management software
to monitor, control and protect the engine utilizing self-
diagnosing electronic sensors. The computerized system
senses operating conditions and power requirements and
adjusts engine for peak performance and most effcient
operation at all times.

6
Hydraulics
Cat hydraulics deliver the power and control to keep material moving.
Frame Design. The frame features
robust structural components for
outstanding durability in the toughest
loading conditions. Caterpillar integrates
advanced processes in the design and
manufacture of Cat frames and structures.
Computer modeling and Finite Element
Analysis (FEA) are used extensively
throughout design.
Steel Frame. Strong steel frame structures
are designed to resist twisting forces,
torsional shock and stresses generated
during the loading cycle, while
protecting drive line and hydraulic
system components.
Lift Arms. Solid steel lift arms absorb
high stresses generated during loading
without sacrificing strength or durability.
The linkage design offers excellent
reach and dump clearance for better
productivity. Lift arm support pins
prevent lowering the lift arms during
service and maintenance.
Loader Tower. The four plate loader
tower provides a solid mount for lift
arms, lift cylinders and Z-bar tilt
linkage. The loader frame is designed
and built to absorb twisting, impact and
high loading forces.
Cast-Steel Cross Tube. The cast steel
cross tube provides excellent resistance
to torsion and impact loads, keeping pin
bores well aligned and extending
component service life.
Sealed Pins. Sealed colleted pins are
fitted to all bucket and lift arm hinge
points for longer pin and bushing life.
This reduces maintenance costs and
extends service intervals. The sealed
joints retain lubrication and prevent
contaminant entry.
Hitch. Spread hitch design widens the
distance between upper and lower hitch
plates to distribute forces and increase
bearing life. Thicker hitch plates reduce
deflection. The wide opening provides
easy service access. Upper and lower
hitch pins pivot on roller bearings to
distribute horizontal and vertical loads
over a greater surface area. Shim adjusted
preload reduces maintenance time.
An on-board steering frame lock pin
is fitted to prevent articulation during
maintenance and service.
7
Structures
Designed for maximum strength and durability in the harshest operating environments.
Ergonomic Layout. The R1600G 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 error.
Pilot Controls. Low-effort pilot operated
joystick controls integrate steering,
transmission and implement functions
for smoother, faster cycles with less
operator fatigue.
Electronic Autoshift. Electronic autoshift
allows the operator to choose automatic
or manual shifting. In auto mode, the
operator uses a dash mounted switch
to select the highest gear they wish the
machine to shift to. In this mode, the
transmission shifts at factory preset
shift points so that each shift occurs at
optimum torque and ground speed for
maximum machine performance.
Dual-Pedal Braking. The left pedal
functions as a brake and a transmission
neutralizer so the operator can maintain
high engine rpm for full hydraulic flow
and fast cycle times.
Protective Structure. The operator
station has integrated into its construction
a ROPS Roll-over protective structures
and FOPS Falling object protective
structures. This structure is resiliently
mounted to the frame, reducing
vibration to the operator for a more
comfortable ride.
Optional Enclosed Cab. Optional sound-
suppressed ROPS cab provides a quiet,
secure working environment. Large
window openings offer excellent
visibility in all directions. Enclosed
design provides fresh, pressurized,
temperature-controlled air circulation
with air-conditioned comfort and a more
comfortable working environment.
The system uses environmentally
friendly R134a refrigerant.
Optional Ride Control. The system uses
a nitrogen filled oil accumulator in the
hydraulic lift circuit to act as a shock
absorber for the bucket and lift arms.
The lift arm and bucket response to
movement is dampened over rough
ground, reducing fore and aft pitch,
improving cycle times and load
retention. A smoother, more comfortable
ride gives operators the confidence to
travel at higher speeds during load and
carry applications.
Suspension Seat. Suspension seat
provides optimal driving position and
enhances operator comfort, all shift long.
8
Setting a new industry standard for comfort and efficiency.
Operator Station
STIC Steering Control. STIC
combines directional selection, gear
selection and steering into a single
lever for maximum responsiveness.
Simple side-to-side motion turns
machine right or left. Transmission
shifting (forward/neutral/reverse)
is controlled using a three position
rocker switch. The thumb operated
upshift and downshift buttons control
manual shifting.
Monitoring System. Caterpillar
Monitoring System continuously

provides critical machine data to
keep the machine performing at top
production levels. A warning system
alerts the operator of immediate or
impending problems with engine oil
pressure, parking brake engagement,
brake oil pressure, electrical system,
low fuel, hydraulic oil temperature,
coolant level/temperature, transmission
oil temperature and impending brake
application (optional).
Digital Display. Normal mode
displays choice of hour meter, odometer
or digital tachometer. Service mode
displays operating parameters, diagnostic
codes and out-of-range gauge readings.
Gauge Cluster. Maintains a constant
display of vital machine functions,
including: engine coolant temperature,
transmission oil temperature, hydraulic
oil temperature, and fuel level.

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 applications
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.

Loaded Weight
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 applications 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.

Loaded Weight
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 applications 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.
