You need answers to questions like these: • What type of material are you moving? • What are the underfoot conditions? • How much material has to be moved? • What is the total job cycle distance? • What are the job site time/production requirements? The answers will suggest certain hauling systems, chosen for their ability to deliver the productivity and profitability you need. Other questions lead to other...

How much material has to be moved? Your fleet must be properly sized for the amount of material you need to move on the project. Also, to achieve daily production goals, you want to have the equipment within your fleet properly sized and matched to site conditions. What is the total job cycle distance? All Cat® hauling systems are designed and built for endurance. But they are also designed for optimal performance over specific haul lengths. The selection of the proper hauling system for the project improves your production and lowers your cost per load. Optimal Loaded Haul Distances AT...

The machines within your hauling system must match each other’s capabilities, as well as the demands of the worksite. For maximum production and efficiency, we recommend that loading tools and hauling tools match to achieve optimal hauling system performance. As a general rule, a hydraulic excavator should load the defined hauler in four to six passes. Wheel loaders should load the matched hauler in three to five passes. What are the job site time/production requirements? Ultimately, every job is a race against time. But it’s a race you can win, time and time again, when your hauling system...

A Cat® articulated truck delivers productivity in the most inhospitable environments. Preferred solution for: • Projects with tight loading areas and/or vertical cuts • orking in adverse underfoot conditions, including soft cut...
