User manual CATERPILLAR R3000H BROCHURE

[. . . ] Hydraulics Perfect balance between low effort controls and powerful hydraulics for smooth and fast cycle time. Durable Structures The heavy duty frame is designed and built to absorb twisting, impact and high loading forces. Comfortable Cab Ergonomically designed for all-day comfort, control and productivity. [. . . ] Built to withstand the forces of high torque and impact loads, double reduction final drives provide high torque multiplication to further reduce drive train stress. 5 Hydraulics Cat hydraulics deliver the power and control to keep material moving. Hydraulic System Powerful Cat hydraulics deliver exceptional digging and lifting forces for fast cycle times. High hydraulic flow rates provide fast hydraulic cylinder response and powerful lift forces. Large-bore lift and tilt cylinder delivers exceptional strength, performance and durability. Pilot Controls Low effort, pilot operated joystick implement control with simultaneous lift and tilt functions optimizes operating efficiency. Cat Hydraulic Hose Field proven Cat high pressure XT™ hydraulic hoses are exceptionally strong and flexible for maximum system reliability and long life in the most demanding conditions. Reusable couplings with O-ring face seals provide superior, leak free performance. Optional Ride Control The optional ride control system uses a nitrogen filled oil accumulator in the hydraulic lift circuit to act as a shock absorber for the bucket and lift arms. The lift arm and bucket response to movement is dampened over rough ground, reducing fore and aft pitch, improving cycle times and load retention. A smoother, more comfortable ride gives operators the confidence to travel at speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph) during load and carry operations. 6 Structures Rugged Cat structures – the backbone of the R3000H’s durability. Frame Design The frame is engineered to withstand extreme forces generated during loading and tramming cycles. Precision manufacturing process ensures all structures are consistently built to high quality. Deep penetration and consistent welds throughout the frame ensures structures are solidly fused to provide sturdy platform for the linkage and the axles. The design and manufacturing quality of Cat LHD frames have been proven by our customers, many of whom reuse frames during machine rebuilds to get 2nd and 3rd lives out of their LHD’s. Hitch Spread hitch design widens the distance between upper and lower hitch plates to distribute forces and increase bearing life. Upper and lower hitch pins pivot on roller bearings to distribute horizontal and vertical loads over a greater surface area. An on-board steering frame lock pin is fitted to prevent articulation during maintenance and service. Sealed Pins Sealed colleted pins are fitted to all bucket and lift arm hinge points for longer pin and bushing life. The sealed joints retain lubrication and prevent contaminant entry. Z-bar Loader Linkage Proven Z-bar loader linkage geometry generates powerful breakout force and an increased rack back angle for better bucket loading and material retention. Heavy duty steel lift arms with cast steel cross tube ensures extreme loads encountered during loading and tramming are efficiently dissipated for long service life. 7 Operator Comfort Ergonomically designed for all-day comfort, control and productivity. The operator station is ergonomically designed for total machine control in a comfortable, productive and safe environment. All controls, levers, switches and gauges are positioned to maximize productivity and minimize operator fatigue. Protective Structure Integral to the cab and frame, the resiliently mounted Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and the Falling Objects Protective Structure (FOPS), isolates the operator from vibration for a more comfortable ride. Optional Enclosed Cab Optional sound-suppressed ROPS cab provides a quiet, secure working environment. [. . . ] Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available and weight on drive wheels.
