User manual CATERPILLAR 287C SERIES 2 BROCHURE

[. . . ] Adjustable seat mounted controls and an available air ride seat keep you comfortable throughout the work day. Low ground pressures, increased rated operating capacities, higher horsepower and improved drawbar performance help you get more done and increase your bottom line. 2 Operator Station Superior comfort to keep you productive throughout the work day. Superior Comfort Comfort and ease of operation have been designed into every aspect of the operator station. [. . . ] Maximum performance can be maintained regardless of the work tool speed or conditions with this load sensing, pressure compensating system. Cat cooling systems are sized to allow the operator to continuously power high flow work tools in conditions that cause competitive machines to overheat. Selectable Implement Control The Selectable Implement Control option with three levels of control gives the operator the ability to adjust the responsiveness and speed of the lift and tilt functions for more precise implement control. Two Speed Option Two speed option increases top speed up to 14. 9 km/h (9. 3 mph) allowing you to finish jobs faster. Rubber Track Undercarriage Unique undercarriage delivers low ground pressure, superior suspension. Cat Multi Terrain Loaders feature a rugged, durable rubber track that is lightweight and pliable, yet reinforced with high tensile strength cords. The undercarriage provides low ground pressure, allowing the machine to operate over sensitive surfaces and in soft underfoot conditions. Elevated, internal positive track drive keep drive components away from ground debris. Heavy duty torsion axles suspend each side of the machine frame independently for a smoother ride over rough terrain. Components are replaceable as individual wear items, reducing owning and operating costs. Dual Level Suspension Undercarriage The standard dual level suspension undercarriage provides oscillating roller wheel assemblies that independently pivot to provide maximum track on the ground, better load retention, improved operator comfort and one of the smoothest rides in the industry. 4 Power Train Aggressive performance with fuel efficiency. Cat Engine The high performance power train provides high engine horsepower and torque. The machines feature the Cat C3. 4 DIT engine – a rugged, reliable engine that meets U. S. EPA Tier 4 Interim/EU Stage IIIA emission requirements. Hand and Foot Throttles Hand and foot throttles allow the operator to match engine speed to the task. The hand throttle is ideal for jobs requiring constant engine speed such as cold planing, trenching or snow blowing. The foot throttle lets the operator vary engine speed and minimize fuel consumption for other tasks such as load and carry, truck loading, grading and dozing. Electronic Torque Management The Electronic Torque Management system maximizes power to the ground and prevents the engine from stalling in tough digging and dozing applications for maximum productivity. The system allows part throttle operation which provides smoother machine operation and reduces fuel consumption. Lift Linkages Built for tough working conditions. Choice of Lift Designs Two types of lifting arrangements are available – vertical lift (path #1 above) and radial lift (path #2) – to meet your specific application needs. Selectable Work Speed Control The optional Selectable Work Speed Control lets you select the ground speed that is best suited for the application. This feature is useful in operations such as trenching and cold planing that require precise machine control at relatively slow and constant speeds. Selectable Hystat Response Control The optional Selectable Hystat Response Control lets the operator select one of three modes to match the machine’s drive response to the operator’s preference, skill level and application requirements. Vertical Lift The 287C Series 2 features the vertical lift design which provides extended reach and lift height for quick and easy truck loading and material placement.
