FUEL EFFICIENCY. Many manufacturers
tout fuel consumption as one of the
determining factors for machine
acquisition, but fuel consumption is
only part of the story. Productivity must
also play a part in the decision. Even
more importantly, how fuel
consumption and productivity interact -
fuel efficiency - should be considered.
950H Fuel Efficiency. Customer testing
of the 950H is showing an improvement
in fuel efficiency over the 950G Series
II. This fuel savings is achieved through
the integration of the Caterpillar
proportional-flow load sensing
hydraulic system, Engine Idle
Management System software, Variable
Shift Control and ACERT™ Technology.
ACERT™ Technology Fuel Economy.
Based on Caterpillar testing, the fuel
economy of Cat engines with ACERT
Technology is 3 to 5 percent better than
current competing technologies. This
fuel economy is directly related to the
complete combustion of fuel due to the
integration between the electronic
control that monitors conditions, the air
management system that controls air
volume and the fuel injection system
that delivers just the right amount of
fuel as needed.
Free Wheel Stator Torque Converter
(FWSTC). The free wheel stator torque
converter improves power train
efficiency in load and carry operations
which contributes to the improved fuel
efficiency of the 950H.
ENGINE IDLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
The Engine Idle Management System
(EIMS) maximizes fuel efficiency and
provides flexibility in managing idle
speeds for specific application
requirements. Four idle control speeds
are available.
Hibernate Mode. Idle speed drops after
a preset time to provide lower fuel
consumption, reduced sound levels and
lower emissions.
Work Mode. Adjust working idle speeds
according to customer preference and
operating conditions.
Warm-Up Mode. Keep the engine at a
consistent temperature in cold
conditions.
Low Voltage Mode. Prevent battery
drain due to high electrical loads from
attachments and accessories.
MAINTENANCE. Proper maintenance of
your wheel loader can help control
expenses and lower your owning and
operating costs. The 950H provides
unmatched serviceability by offering:
Hydraulic service center
Electric service center
Well-protected, easily visible sight
gauges
Ground level maintenance points
Easy access to engine compartment
Ecology drains for simple and clean
fluid drainage
Brake wear indicators for ease of
inspection
Maintenance-free batteries
Extended oil and filter change
intervals
Airborne debris-resistant, swing-out
grill provides more efficient airflow
MONITORING SYSTEMS. Monitoring
product health simplifies maintenance
planning and reduces costs.
Caterpillar Monitoring System. The
Caterpillar Monitoring System (CMS)
tracks critical machine systems to alert
the operator to potential need for
service. Three levels of warning allow
the operator to assess the situation more
accurately.
Product Link. With Product Link
owners can collect and track multiple
types of information - from machine
location and service meter hours, to
health and productivity information.
