Milton CAT 966H - Manual (Page 8)

• Hydraulics are easy to control with
low effort
• Maximum fuel efficiency and
flexibility in idle speeds
• Consistent horsepower regardless
of conditions
• Standard and optional features that
maximize productivity
LOAD SENSING HYDRAULICS. The 966H
features a load sensing hydraulic system
that automatically adjusts to operating
conditions to provide only the hydraulic
flow required by the implement for
improved fuel efficiency.
With the new M3PC Priority Proportional
Pressure Compensation Valve, implement
control is improved over the previous
system – raise/lower and rack back/dump
can be operated simultaneously and fine
modulation is repeatable for improved
productivity.
Operators will notice enhanced ease of
operation, more rimpull into the pile
and a 20% increase in lift force.
Electrohydraulic Implement Controls.
Electrohydraulic implement controls on
the 966H provide the operator with in-
cab programmable kickouts to prevent
material spillage – improving productivity.
The implement control console features
an optional Forward/Neutral/Reverse
switch allowing fast, easy directional
changes to reduce cycle times.
CONSTANT NET HORSEPOWER.
On many competitive machines, gross
horsepower is constant, meaning that
net engine power available for actual
work will vary based on demands made
from parasitic sources, such as air
conditioning or cooling fans.
The Cat C11 engine is electronically
configured to provide constant net
horsepower at full parasitic load
enhancing productivity and
improving fuel efficiency.
On-Demand Fan. With electronic control
of the variable speed on-demand fan,
temperature levels of the engine coolant,
transmission oil, hydraulic oil and air
inlet manifold are constantly monitored.
This data is used to control and maintain
fan speed at the level necessary to
maintain normal system temperatures.
Controlled fan speed improves fuel
efficiency, lowers noise levels and
reduces radiator plugging.
Separated Cooling System.
Many competitive loaders use cooling
systems that pull air in from the sides,
through the engine compartment and
exhaust it out the rear of the machine.
The 966H cooling system is isolated
from the engine compartment by a non-
metallic shield. The hydraulically driven,
variable speed fan draws in clean air from
the rear of the machine and exhausts it
out the sides and top of the hood. The end
results are optimal cooling efficiency,
increased fuel efficiency, less radiator
plugging and reduced operator
sound levels.
PLANETARY POWERSHIFT
TRANSMISSION. The electronic planetary
powershift transmission with automatic
shift capability is designed and built by
Caterpillar. The very responsive, full-
power speed and directional changes
provide excellent cycle times and
productivity.
VARIABLE SHIFT CONTROL.
Match transmission shifting patterns
to machine application requirements.
Variable Shift Control (VSC) improves
shift quality and fuel efficiency in certain
applications by allowing the transmission
to upshift at lower engine RPMs.
RIDE CONTROL. The optional Ride
Control System improves ride,
performance and load retention when
traveling over rough terrain. Operators
gain confidence moving at higher speeds
in load and carry operations decreasing
cycle times and increasing productivity.
PAYLOAD CONTROL SYSTEM. Scales,
designed specifically for Cat machines
allow on-the-go weighing of material in
the bucket. Operators load trucks more
accurately and efficiently. Loading trucks
right the first time equates to quicker
cycles for the operator and more
productivity for your operation.
Payload Control is offered as a factory-
installed option. Driver tickets and a
variety of reports can be printed with
the addition of the optional printer.
