Benefit from extended performance and reliability of your hydraulic system with our advanced filtration system.
Best-in-Class operator comfort and ergonomics.
Your operators can work more efficiently and stay comfortable with our customer-inspired cab features.
Enhance comfort and reduce operator fatigue with Cat Comfort Series III seat.
Conveniently train other operators in comfort with our standard training seat.
Your operator’s productivity is enhanced with our clean, comfortable cab environment.
Greater productivity through Integrated Electronic Systems.
Integrated electronics provide flexible levels of information to both the site and the operator. This integration creates a smart machine and more informed operator, maximizing the productivity of both.
We have worked hard to help our customers and operators perform at their best through our newly upgraded touch screen information display.
Connect directly to the machine for access to a wide range of sensor information and enhanced machine data.
Tire pressure monitoring is a fully integrated feature which allows operators to monitor inflation of tires. Available through the Information Display, the operator can quickly see the current pressure settings and temperature of each tire.
Cat Production Measurement brings payload weighing to the cab so operators can work more productively and deliver accurate loads with confidence. CPM brings advanced weighing modes which assist with payload accuracy and speed the loading cycle.
Work more productively.
Cat MineStar System is the industry’s broadest suite of integrated mine operations and mobile equipment management technologies, configurable to suit your operation’s needs. Its capability sets – Fleet, Terrain, Detect, Health and Command – contain a range of technologies that let you manage everything from fleet assignment and condition monitoring to remote and autonomous control. The 994K can take advantage of many of these advanced technologies, some of which are standard out of the factory.
Fleet provides comprehensive, real-time machine tracking, assignment and productivity management, giving you a comprehensive overview of all operations from anywhere in the world.
Terrain with your 994K enables high-precision management of loading operations through the use of guidance technology. It increases 994K’s productivity and provides you real-time feedback for improved efficiency.
Detect helps increase operator awareness, enhancing safety at your operation. It includes a range of capabilities designed to assist the operator with areas of limited visibility around fixed and mobile equipment.
Health delivers critical event-based machine condition and operating data for your entire fleet. It includes comprehensive equipment health and asset monitoring capabilities, with a wide range of diagnostic, analytic and reporting tools.
Making your safety our priority.
We are constantly improving our products in an effort to provide a safe work environment for the operator and those who work on your job site.
The Cat powered access system allows easier access to the primary stairs by improving ingress and egress to and from the rear platform.
Enabling high uptime by reducing your service time.
Your Cat dealers know how to keep your mining machines productive.
A valued partner, your Cat dealer is available whenever you need them.
Reducing the Impact to the Environment.
Environmental responsibility is designed and built into our 994K’s features.
It’s all about performance.
Performance Series Buckets are designed for superior performance in a variety of materials. They are engineered to dig into piles quickly and load efficiently. Fill factors are up to 115% so you can get your job done and move on to other tasks. Fast load cycles and fewer trips mean less wear and tear on your machine and keep you working.
The buckets below are part of the Performance Series line. They come in different capacities and widths to fit your loading and carrying needs.
Designed for use in bank or face loading of limestone and other unprocessed rock. Application also includes truck and hopper loading for a wide range of quarry materials. GET includes spade nose cutting edge with adapters, half arrow segments, bottom wear plates, boxed wings and side bar protectors.
Designed for use in applications like face loading tightly compacted pit materials or handling materials of moderate abrasion and high impacts. GET are similar to the rock bucket with the additions of cutting edge shrouds and Mechanically Attached Wear Plate system (MAWPs) on wings and underneath the bucket. Base edge end protection, ski plates, additional side wear plates and an extra set of side bar protectors are also included.
Designed for use in extremely aggressive applications like face loading. They are built for high abrasion and moderate impact. GET are the same as Heavy Duty Rock buckets, except smaller in bucket capacity to accommodate for the higher density.
Designed for use in applications with light density and non-abrasive materials. GET includes a straight base edge with adapters and half arrow segments.
Protect expensive components. Reduce your operating costs. Get the most out of your machine’s performance. Choose from a variety of performance-built GET like these to meet your application requirements.
Please check out our Parts Catalog for more GET options.
Simplify GET component replacement with hammerless CapSure retention for fast, easy and safe installation. CapSure tips, shrouds and sidebar protectors are easily locked and unlocked with a 180 degree turn of a 3?4 inch ratchet.
Efficient loading/hauling system starts with a perfect match.
The standard 994K is sized to load the 136 tonnes (150 ton) 785 in four passes. The 994K standard lift loads the 177 tonnes (195 ton) 789 in five passes, and loads the 227 tonnes (240 ton) 793 in six passes.
For full truck payloads with minimum loading time, an efficient loading/hauling system starts with a perfect match. Cat wheel loaders are matched with Cat mining trucks to maximize volume of material moved at the lowest operating cost per ton.
Selection of the right bucket depends on penetration requirements, material densities, abrasion, and the loading target. Bucket sizes are matched to truck bed capacities and material densities for optimum loading efficiency and greater productivity.
