Caterpillar's Clean Diesel 2007 On-Highway Emissions Solution

Thursday, May 26, 2005

Utilizing a Cat C13 ACERT engine, the company displayed a 2007 emissions compliant truck at an event in West Point, Virginia where President Bush highlighted key elements of his energy policy.

"Caterpillar applauds President Bush for his commitment and support of clean diesel initiatives," said Doug Oberhelman, Caterpillar Group President with responsibility for the company's power systems business. "The on-highway standards for 2007 will help to provide cleaner air for our environment. While these standards present an enormous technological challenge, Caterpillar is fully prepared to provide its customers with a solution that preserves reliability, durability and fuel economy."

Caterpillar has pledged to provide hundreds of 2007 compliant truck engines to truck fleet customers this summer so they will have the opportunity to field test this new technology well ahead of the rigorous 2007 emissions deadline.

Caterpillar was the first engine manufacturer to offer clean diesel engines certified to meet EPA's tougher 2004 standards, which require more stringent testing to demonstrate lower emissions over longer periods of engine operation. Currently more than 200,000 on-highway engines featuring ACERT Technology are powering trucks, accumulating some 40 million miles a day while delivering the products, goods, and supplies that help keep America's economy running.

In addition to meeting emissions requirements, Caterpillar customers have experienced superior fuel economy for their fleets using engines featuring ACERT Technology. "We are running more than 200 trucks with Cat engines using ACERT Technology, and that's a big part of why our fleet fuel mileage has improved from about 6.0 to 6.5 miles per gallon," said John Liberkowski, director of purchasing and fleet maintenance for New Century Transportation of Westhampton, New Jersey. "With fuel prices today, that's a huge difference because every tenth of a mile saves us $1.2 million in fuel costs."

"Caterpillar has invested more than $1 billion in research and development for ACERT and other clean diesel projects to help our customers meet today's standards, and future regulations," Oberhelman said. "Caterpillar customers know they have a 2007 emissions solution using ACERT Technology which will work hand-in-hand with the Bush administration's upcoming low sulfur diesel fuel regulations," said Oberhelman.

ACERT is a differentiated, breakthrough technology that reduces emissions at the point of combustion. The technology capitalizes on Caterpillar's proven leadership in engine electronics, fuel injection systems and combustion technology. All Caterpillar on-highway truck and bus engines now in production are equipped with ACERT Technology, which also provides a foundation to meet future emission regulations for the company's construction and mining machines and power generation units.

For 80 years, Caterpillar Inc. has been building the world's infrastructure and, in partnership with its worldwide dealer network, is driving positive and sustainable change on every continent. With 2004 sales and revenues of $30.25 billion, Caterpillar is a technology leader and the world's leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines and industrial gas turbines...

Used Track Loaders Caterpillar 953 C

Thursday, May 19, 2005

Caterpillar 953C Track-Type LoaderTrack Loaders CAT 953 C - crawler loader features an hydrostatic transmission which presents the following advantages if compared with the traditional transmissions. When steering both tracks have power, tracks can counter rotate, endless travel speeds from 0 to 10.1 km/h, rapid acceleration, fast response to controls. A versatile machine, the track loader can handle many kinds of applications, including digging, dozing, loading, carrying, backfilling, grading, and demolition. A single lever acts on speed, direction and activate the parking break. On the transmission there is a regulation valve to increase the traction or the lifting power according to your needs. An other synchronization valve keeps both tracks at the same speed

Used Track Loaders Caterpillar 953 CTracks have an oscillating bar which dampens the impact solicitations and it maintains the machine more stable giving at the same time more travel comfort. In fact the machine is less exposed to the strikes caused by the incoherent soils.

Caterpillar 953 C track-type loader offers improved balance and stability

Caterpillar's updated Cat 953C Track-Type Loader features innovative designs that offer improved balance and stability, an updated operator's compartment for greater comfort, and a loader that is easier to operate and service. It also features new external styling, including a sloped rear, which gives the machine a distinctive look as well as an improved rear viewing area. On this updated version, the company has replaced linkages for the bucket and ripper controls with easier-to-operate pilot-operated controls. These controls reduce the effort needed to operate the equipment control levers, resulting in less operator fatigue and, therefore, higher productivity.

Caterpillar 953 C Track Loader

The new levers are also smaller, which are easier for the operator to manipulate, and give the operator more precise control for better tool placement. Pilot-operated hydraulics include other benefits, such as reduced lift and tilt cylinder drift, and the operator can disable the pilot circuit easily to help prevent vandalism or accidents while away from the machine.

Diesel Truck Engine Cat C-16

Tuesday, May 10, 2005

Cat C-16 Diesel Truck Engine

Caterpillar C-16 Truck Engines offer a wide operating range and high torque rise which promotes the use of transmissions with fewer gears. Even with this built-in feature, heavy/specialty haulers must remember their trucks should be geared to achieve the appropriate compromise between startability and desired road speed. Typical loads of 80 000 Ib or less are less affected by improper drive train specing than are heavy haulers. In general, either application shares one similar recommendation — gear fast/run slow is essential for good fuel consumption. If any of the following conditions are present, special attention should be given to proper transmission and axle specifications. A complete Caterpillar Truck Engine Pro (TEP) C-16 analysis is available from your local Caterpillar or truck dealer.

Caterpillar's C Series Hydraulic Excavators Cat 320C L

Hydraulic Excavators Cat 320C L

The C Series excavators from Caterpillar (Cat 320C L) offer improved performance through increased horsepower and hydraulic flow, enhanced controllability and a new cab and interior layout for optimum operator efficiency. Cat 312C and Cat 315C replace the Caterpillar 312B and 315B and are available with long undercarriages-the Caterpillar 312C L and the 315C L. Caterpillar 312C L weighs about 28,970 lbs and the 315C L weighs about 36,840 lbs.

Cat 312C has 90 hp and the 315C has 110 hp-more than 11 per cent more power at the flywheel than the previous model. All models use the open-centre, two-pump hydraulic system and the Cat 312C and Cat 315C have increased hydraulic flows of six per cent and 13 per cent respectively. The hydraulic cross-sensing system improves productivity, the company says, with faster implement speeds and quicker, stronger pivot turns.

Caterpillar's 320C L Utility hydraulic excavator offers the same level of performance as the Cat 320C L excavator and has a smaller swing radius-6'7"-that falls within the track length and makes the Cat 320C L Utility ideal for use in logging road construction and other space-restricted sites. Operating weight of the 320C L Utility is about 50,700 lbs.

It has a 70 per cent heavier counterweight, net power of 138 hp produced by a Cat 3066 turbo-charged, six-cylinder engine and high torque at medium to low speeds, making for fuel efficiency and reduced sound levels.

Friday, May 06, 2005

MAK - Marine Power Systems

The demand for complete propulsion systems is of increasing importance in the marine sector. Caterpillar Marine Power Systems is in the position to supply propulsion engines, gear-boxes, couplings, propellers and controls.
We are highly flexible due to our very close links to premium partners and able to integrate components according to customer requirements.
Said Caterpillar.

New technologies for Marine

ACERT® Technology is the product of a $500 million investment structured on the broadest product, application and manufacturing base in the industry. No other marine engine supplier can draw on an 11 kW to 16,000 kW product experience, combined with internal fuel systems, manufacturing and internal electronic controls design. This broad and solid base allows Caterpillar to make the building blocks of ACERT® work better together than they would as stand alone components. The investment paid off when Caterpillar made landmark breakthroughs in the science of fuel combustion. ACERT® Technology allows the combustion process to be shaped and managed with an extremely high degree of precision. The end result is an engine that meets emissions requirements quietly and with less smoke. Advanced combustion has been a goal of engine researchers for decades. But only Caterpillar has the expertise, resources and technology base - with proprietary electronic controls, fuel systems and air management systems - to make it a reality.
