Milton CAT D8T Tier 4 Interim-Stage IIIB - Manual (Page 11)

Structures
Engineered for maximum production and service life
Sustainability
Thinking generations ahead
Benefits of the Cat D8T include the following:
•
Meets Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emissions standards.
• Features like Enhanced Auto Shift and a Hydraulic
Demand Fan help decrease overall fuel consumption.
• Technologies like AccuGrade, Cat Grade Control
and Product Link help improve overall efficiency,
saving fuel and fluids, as well as wear and tear
on equipment.
• New grab handles, steps, lighting packages and a
ground level service center help enhance job site safety.
• Major components are built to be rebuilt, eliminating
waste and saving customers money by giving the
machine and/or major components a second –
and even third – life.
The D8T mainframe is built industry-leading tough
– heavy steel castings, full box section frame rails and
continuous rolled sections on top and bottom frame rails
provide the strength to absorb high impact shock loads
and twisting forces.
The D8T pivot shaft runs through the mainframe
and connects to the roller frames, allowing independent
oscillation. The full-length pivot shaft distributes impact
loads throughout the case, reducing the bending stress on
the case. The Tag-Link brings the blade closer to the machine
for more precise dozing and load control. The design
provides solid lateral stability and better cylinder positions
for constant break out force, independent of blade height.
Cat track-type tractor frames set the industry standard for
durability. Major structures and components are built to
be rebuilt, reducing waste and replacement costs.
