Power Train
Engine
Caterpillar 3406C engine performs at full-rated net power
with a torque rise of 55%.
Regulations
The 3406C engine meets US Tier 1, and EURO Stage 1
emissions regulations for the Environmental Protection
Agency, and the European Union.
Steel Spacer
A steel spacer between the block and head eliminates the
need for block counterbores, extending block life.
Valves
Through-hardened crankshaft journals and steel-backed,
copper-bonded aluminum bearings help assure reliable
performance in the toughest duty.
Torque Divider
A single-stage torque converter with an output torque
dividersend 70% of engine torque through the converter,
30% through a direct drive shaft for greater driveline
efficiency and higher torque multiplication.
Torque Converter
The torque converter shields the driveline from sudden
torque shocks and vibration.
Final Drives
Elevated final drives are isolated from ground and implement
induced impact loads for extended power train life.
Transmission
Planetary power shift transmission has 3-speeds forward and
3-speeds reverse and utilizes large diameter, high-capacity,
oil-cooled clutches.
Cooling System
Superior cooling and ease of service keep the D8R producing day after day.
Cooling Capacity
Advanced Modular Cooling System (AMOCS) utilizes an
exclusive two pass cooling system and increased cooling
surface area to provide significantly more cooling capacity
than conventional systems.
Cooling Elements
The cooling elements are individual core modules that
areconnected to a sectioned bottom tank.
Servicing
The servicing of the AMOCS can be performed without
tilting the radiator guard.
Differential Steering
Uninterrupted Power
Differential steering delivers uninterrupted power to both
tracks to help maintain blade loads, reduce cycle times
andprovide enhanced side slope capability.
Steering
Steer and change directions easily with one hand.
Turning
A planetary differential turns the machine by speeding
up one track and slowing the other while maintaining
fullpower.
Tiller Control
Allows the operator to work more precisely in close areas,
around structures, obstacles, grade stakes or on fine grades.
Hydraulic System
Efficient hydraulic systems devote one pump solely
to power implements.
Hydraulics
Pump Output
During normal blade or ripper corrections, pump output
increases and decreases to provide precise power for
dozing or ripping.
Structures
Mainframe
The D8R mainframe is built to absorb high impact shock
loads and twisting forces.
Frame Rails
Frame rails are a full box section, designed to keep
components rigidly aligned.
Steel Castings
Heavy steel castings give added strength to the main case,
equalizer bar saddle, front cross member and tag-link
trunnion.
Durability
The top and bottom rails are continuous rolled sections,
withno machining or welding to provide superior
mainframedurability.
Final Drives
The main case elevates the final drives well above the ground
level work area to protect them from impact loads, abrasion
and contaminants.
Tag-link Construction
Tag-link construction brings the blade closer to the machine
for more precise dozing and load control.
Tag-link Design
Tag-link design provides solid lateral stability and
bettercylinder positions for constant pryout independent
ofbladeheight.
Undercarriage
Design
Suspended undercarriage design absorbs impact loads to reduce the shock loads transferred
to the undercarriage.
Suspension
Bogie suspension conforms closely to the ground to provide more ground contact, especially in hard,
uneven terrain.
Roller Frames
Roller frames are tubular, to resist bending and twisting, with added reinforcement where operating
loads are the highest.
Non-suspended Undercarriage
Non-suspended undercarriage, without bogies, is available for applications involving moderate-impact,
or highly abrasive materials.
Track
Sealed and lubricated track. Permanently coats the track pin with a sealed-in lubricant, minimizing
metal-to-metal contact.
SystemOne Undercarriage
Designed for reliability and durability.
Lower cost-per-hour
Reduces costs up to 50% due to longer life of undercarriage
and reuse of idlers and segments.
Machine Speed
SystemOne allows travel at a faster speed, particularly in
reverse. 2nd and 3rd gear reverse do not have to be locked
out to manage bushing wear. Also, elimination of scalloping
maintains a comfortable ride that decreases operator fatigue,
and allows for higher working speed which increases overall
productivity.
Operator Efficiency
Smoother ride because no more link scalloping wear reduces
operator fatigue and better operator efficiency.
Machine Productivity
Higher average machine speed, better operator efficiency
and better machine availability/lower downtime results
inincreased machine productivity.
Operator Station
View
Clear full-circle view.
Operation
Comfortable, non-tiring operation.
Controls
Low effort controls are easily accessible and provide sure,
precise maneuvering with less operator fatigue.
Seat
The Caterpillar Comfort Series Seat is fully adjustable
anddesigned for comfort and support.
Tiller Control
Dual twist tiller controls the direction and degree of turns,
forward-reverse shifting and gear selection with one control.
Work Tools
Rippers
Single and multi-shank rippers are made to penetrate
tough material fast and rip thoroughly.
Custom Products
In addition to the standard range of optional equipment,
there are special attachments and machine configurations
to suit particular customer needs.
Serviceability
Ease of service and maintenance gives you more time on the job.
Servicing
Built-in servicing ease. Less service time means more working
time.
Ecology Drains
Ecology drains provide an environmentally safer method
todrain fluids.
Filters
Spin-on fuel and engine oil filters save changing time.
Cooling
AMOCS individual cooling elements allow radiator servicing
without major component removal, saving considerable time
and cost.
Diagnostic Connector
A diagnostic connector allows the Cat Dealers electronic test
instrument to quickly troubleshoot the electrical system.
Disconnect Fittings
Quick disconnect fittings allow for fast diagnosis of the
power train and implement oil systems.
Support
Response
Dealer service response extends to programs such as
Custom Track Service (CTS), Scheduled Oil Sampling
(SOS), and guaranteed maintenance contracts that get
peak life and performance from your machine.
Experts
Your dealer is also expert at arranging affordable lease,
rental or purchase financing for all Caterpillar products.
