Reliability You Can Count On

16 - Reliability You Can Count On

Reduces downtime and operating costs through easier maintenance, fuel savings, reduced maintenance, and increased availability. The main components are modular in design, allowing most of them to be removed and reinstalled without modifying other components, for efficient repairs. The C13 engine has been optimized to maintain its efficiency without compromising performance. The Eco mode can be activated to regulate the engine speed at high idle and ensure that the engine operates as efficiently as possible, allowing for additional fuel savings. The offset section from the center of the chassis is made of extra-strong steel casting, designed to improve stress distribution and therefore extend the lifespan of components. The rear chassis structure is elongated to facilitate access to engine enclosure parts, and also improve machine balance. The front axle steering cylinder extends the lifespan, and hydraulic hoses are routed to improve reliability. The modular cooling block simplifies the removal and installation of cooling circuit components, reducing maintenance time. The engine enclosure doors provide full access to the engine without being hindered by the frame. Maintenance intervals are extended, reducing the number of interventions and downtime. The liquid level monitoring system prevents major components from being damaged when liquid levels are low. The cabin display shows maintenance issues and recorded diagnostic codes.

Performance and Productivity

16 - Performance and Productivity

Graders have a direct impact on the productivity of all other machines for mining applications, especially in their role in maintaining transport tracks. The 16 model has been optimized exactly for this purpose: The additional weight added to the adjusted balance weight improves the performance of the 16M3 by improving traction and the ability to maintain ground speed, especially when transporting a heavy load. Available with three variants of the C13 engine depending on the region. The emission reduction technology works seamlessly; it does not require any intervention from the driver. The touch/color information display allows the driver to monitor the machine's performance and easily modify its settings according to the current task. Provides the necessary maintenance information for troubleshooting and problem-solving. Cat's Product Link Elite is integrated into the machine to streamline equipment management. It provides easy access to information (machine location, service hours, fuel consumption, downtime, incident codes) through the VisionLink® online user interface, which can help you manage your fleet and operating costs.

Ensuring a Safe Construction Site

16 - Ensuring a Safe Construction Site

Caterpillar takes into account the safety of everyone, whether they are inside, on, or around Cat machines, when developing products or improving safety features. The Model 16 incorporates safety functions such as: Tandem access Rear vision camera Seat belt indicator Access platform - optional Maintenance access platform - optional Pre-equipment for fire suppression system - optional
