Caterpillar  (0.03 MB)

Caterpillar will present its unmatched range of innovative technologies and services at Mining Indaba next week in Cape Town, South Africa. With a focus on optimizing operations, whether surface or underground, newly developed or long lived, Caterpillar and Cat® dealers are dedicated to working with mining companies to address and solve the issues that are most important to them. 

The Caterpillar exhibit, stand number 726, will feature digital displays of surface and underground equipment as well as Cat MineStar™ System capabilities ranging from machine health monitoring and data management to fully autonomous machine operation. Barloworld Equipment, the Cat dealer in the region, will staff the exhibit with experienced personnel able to provide both technical information and practical insights. Additionally, Cat Financial personnel will be on hand to discuss customized finance for both projects and equipment and extended protection solutions designed to keep business moving forward.

The age of smart iron
Caterpillar recently announced a number of new machines designed to make best use of technology to drive costs down. The new MD6420C Rotary Drill is autonomy ready and optionally equipped to leverage the safety and productivity benefits of Cat MineStar Terrain. This high-precision drill management system optimizes utilization and improves drilling and blasting operations by accurately guiding the operator and improving precision of hole placement and drilling depth.

The new machines in the Cat hydraulic mining shovel line are the 6015B and 6020B, which represent the popular, smaller range of Cat shovels designed for lowest cost production in smaller mines. The next-generation 6020B is a clean-sheet design that features a 22-tonne payload and teams with the Cat 777G Off-Highway Truck for optimized loading and hauling.

Caterpillar offers a full range of productive mechanical drive trucks as well as two models of AC electric mining trucks. The newest is the 794 AC Large Mining Truck, which delivers 291-tonne payload capacity, class-leading speed on grade, superior four-corner braking and easy access for maintenance.

The underground hard rock mining product line features the new AD22 Underground Truck. The 22.0-tonne-payload articulated dump truck is the smallest in the Cat line, yet it is designed to deliver the productive performance and durability of its proven, larger counterparts. Its small operating envelope and agile characteristics enhance productivity in any mining application suited for this size class.

Caterpillar is also featuring the newly announced R1700K underground loader (LHD). The new K Series model features multiple systems enhancements for lower costs while boosting productivity. A new cab with superior ergonomics helps operators perform efficiently. As a safe and productive alternative to in-cab operation, Cat Command technology enables teleremote and autonomous operation of the new LHD and others in the Cat line.
