Durability
Better Built to Meet Your Needs
Frames
The robotically welded two-piece structural frame design
provides a rugged and reliable foundation for the machine
that improves stability, performance, and serviceability.
A robust articulating hitch system joins the front and rear
frames improving durability. Enhanced lines routings across
the hitch joint streamline the manufacturing process and
improve reliability and durability.
Engine
The new Cat C13 ACERT engine was designed to optimize
power density. It uses a combination of technologies to reduce
regulated emissions while ensuring high performance and
excellent fuel efficiency. An upgraded ADEM™ 4 electronic
control module manages the combustion process and a
new high-pressure Mechanical Electronic Unit Injector
(MEUI-C) fuel system allows precise injection timing for
a clean, efficient fuel burn. The rugged Cat Clean Emissions
Module is securely rubber mounted on its own platform
above the engine and contains a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst,
Diesel Particulate Filter and Cat Regeneration System.
Regeneration, the process by which soot is removed from
the Diesel Particulate Filter, is completely automatic and
does not interrupt the machine’s work cycle.
Emissions
The 980K features a Cat C13 ACERT engine and a
Cat Clean Emissions Module to deliver the performance
and efficiency that customers demand, while meeting Tier 4
Interim/Stage IIIB emission standards. The six-cylinder
electronic engine is turbocharged and aftercooled.
ACERT™ Technology is a combination of building blocks
that includes electronics, fuel systems, air management
systems and aftertreatment components. The system is
optimized based on engine size, the type of application and
the geographic location in which it will work. The technologies
are applied systematically and strategically to meet high
customer expectations for productivity, fuel effi ciency,
reliability and service life.
Axles
The axles are designed to handle extreme applications
resulting in reliable performance and extended life. The front
axle is rigidly mounted to the frame in order to withstand
internal torque loads and still maintain support for the wheel
loader. The rear axle can oscillate to ±13 degrees helping to
ensure all four wheels stay on the ground providing stability
even in the roughest terrain.
