CAT Wheel Loader Automobile User Manual


 
Integrated Braking System. The Cat
exclusive Integrated Braking System
reduces axle oil temperatures and
improves transmission neutralizer
smoothness. IBS has a direct impact on
durability of the axles and brakes
especially in applications involving
long distances and/or heavy braking.
STRUCTURES. The articulated frame
design of the 950H features a durable
box-section engine frame and rigid
four-plate loader tower that is
robotically welded. Robotic welding
creates frame joints with deep plate
penetration welds and excellent fusion
for maximum strength and durability.
Engine End Frame (EEF). A full box-
section engine end frame with hitch
plates at the front end provides a strong,
rigid structure that resists twisting and
impact loads. The result is an extremely
solid mounting platform for the engine,
transmission, axle, ROPS and other
accessories.
Spread Hitch. The distance between the
upper and lower hitch plates is an
important contributor to machine
performance and component life. The
Caterpillar spread hitch design provides
excellent load distribution and bearing
life. Both the upper and lower hitch pins
pivot on double tapered roller bearings -
improving durability by distributing
both vertical and horizontal loads over a
larger surface area. The wide opening
also provides excellent service access.
Non-Engine End Frame (NEEF). The
non-engine end frame provides a solid
mounting base for the front axle, lift
arms, lift cylinders and tilt cylinders.
The fabricated, four-plate loader tower
absorbs the forces associated with
loading, twisting and penetration.
Counterweight. The two-piece
counterweight is integrated into the
950H design and styling. This 1853 lb
(840 kg) counterweight incorporates the
rear lights into the top of the structure.
A heavy-duty counterweight, 3084 lb
(1399 kg), is optional for logging or
high-lift applications.
Linkage. The 950H linkage is a single-
tilt Z-bar design. Z-bar linkage
generates excellent breakout force and
good rack back angle for better bucket
loading and load retention.
Lift arms are solid steel, providing
superior strength with an excellent front
end viewing area. The proven design
offers excellent dump clearance and
reach for exceptional matching to both
on- and off-highway trucks.
Rotary sensors, for the tilt lever and lift
circuit allow the operator to
electronically set detent positions from
the cab. A guard covers the sensor to
protect it from damage.
