Caterpillar has unveiled its latest addition to the wheel loader lineup, the Cat 995. While maintaining the same size as its predecessor, the 994K, this new model offers significant enhancements in terms of payload capacity, power, productivity, and fuel efficiency. With its advanced features and improved design, the Cat 995 is set to deliver exceptional performance for various heavy-duty applications.
Enhanced Power and Productivity:
At the heart of the Cat 995 lies a robust Cat 3516E engine, generating an impressive 1,847 horsepower. With a 39% increase in torque, this loader ensures high lugging forces during digging and acceleration in high rimpull conditions. The higher rated payload of the 995 enables efficient one-pass reduction when loading Cat 785, 789, and 793 mining trucks, resulting in up to a 33% increase in production and overall efficiency. The bucket capacity ranges from 22.3 to 57 cubic yards, accommodating a payload of 50 to 60 tons, depending on the application.
Fuel Efficiency and Economy:
Caterpillar has focused on optimizing fuel consumption with the Cat 995. In comparison to its predecessor, this new model offers up to 13% lower hourly fuel consumption, contributing to cost savings and reduced environmental impact. The Enhanced Eco Mode further enhances efficiency, providing an additional 8% gain compared to the throttle lock mode. With these fuel-saving features, the Cat 995 proves to be an economical choice for heavy-duty operations.
Redesigned Operator Environment:
Operators will appreciate the enhanced comfort and reduced fatigue offered by the redesigned next-generation cab of the Cat 995. With 50% more legroom and features such as reduced vibration feedback, lower sound levels, and automatic temperature control, the new cab provides a welcoming and productive working environment. The electrohydraulic speed-sensing steering system with force feedback ensures precise control, automatically adjusting stiffness based on travel speeds. Improved visibility to the bucket is achieved through a taller windshield and increased wiper sweep area, allowing operators to work with greater confidence and efficiency.
Integrated Technology for Smarter Operation:
The Cat 995 incorporates advanced technology to enhance machine performance and operator efficiency. Features such as Tip Up Prevention, Vital Information Management System (VIMS), and Product Link are included as standard. Optional Autodig components automate challenging parts of the dig cycle, while Operator Coaching provides training and feedback to improve operator performance. Payload Overload Prevention prevents overloading, enhancing productivity, and reducing the risk of equipment damage. The Cat 995 also supports a range of Cat MineStar solutions, including Health, Guide, and Terrain, for comprehensive fleet management.
Reduced Maintenance and Improved Reliability:
The Cat 995 is designed to minimize maintenance requirements and maximize uptime. It features a 500-hour engine oil change interval, prolonging service intervals and reducing downtime. The improved air filter life ensures optimal engine performance and efficiency, while fewer steering hoses and tubes result in a more reliable steering system. The enhanced service station provides convenient access to coolant and oil levels, along with indicator lights for fuel tanks and a Cat battery charging connector.
Impressive Specifications:
With an operating weight of 540,555 pounds, the Cat 995 offers a formidable presence on any job site. Its powerful 1,870 horsepower Cat 3516E engine delivers exceptional performance, while the bucket capacity ranges from 22.3 to 57 cubic yards. The rated payload of 50 to 60 tons allows for efficient loading and increased productivity. Furthermore, the Cat 995 is compatible with the previous model's buckets, providing versatility and compatibility for existing users.
Caterpillar's Cat 995 wheel loader is a remarkable addition to the company's lineup, offering increased payload capacity, enhanced power, improved fuel efficiency, and advanced technology features. Designed to meet the demands of heavy-duty applications, the Cat 995 combines performance, comfort, and reliability to deliver exceptional results. With its optimized fuel consumption, operator-friendly cab, integrated technology, and reduced maintenance requirements, the Cat 995 is set to make a significant impact in the construction, mining, and earthmoving industries.
