*Caterpillar 990 Wheel Loader: Coal Loading Efficiency in Action*
Today’s video showcases the impressive Caterpillar 990 Wheel Loader, a powerhouse machine at work in a massive coal mine. Equipped with a custom coal bucket, this giant loader demonstrates its efficiency by loading coal onto trucks in just two passes. The scene captures the scale and precision required for operations in a coal mine, emphasizing the critical role of the 990 in maintaining productivity and workflow.
*Caterpillar 990 Wheel Loader: Specs and Capabilities*
The Caterpillar 990 Wheel Loader is purpose-built for heavy-duty material handling, making it a standout choice in mining, quarrying, and construction. Its performance, durability, and advanced engineering allow it to handle large volumes of coal efficiently.
Key Specifications:
Operating Weight: Approximately 80,000 kg (176,000 lbs), providing the stability needed for handling massive loads.
Engine Power: Equipped with a Cat 3412 engine, delivering 700 horsepower (522 kW) for consistent performance under demanding conditions.
Bucket Capacity: The custom coal bucket enhances its capacity to up to 20 cubic meters (26 cubic yards), ideal for lightweight, bulk materials like coal.
Lift Height: Offers a maximum dump clearance of 4.4 meters (14.4 feet), ensuring compatibility with high-sided trucks.
Payload Capacity: Designed to lift payloads of over 20 metric tons (44,000 lbs) per pass, making it an efficient loader for large-scale operations.
*Two-Pass Loading: A Game-Changer*
The Caterpillar 990’s ability to fill trucks in just two passes is a testament to its engineering and design. This capability is crucial in high-output environments like coal mines, where speed and efficiency are paramount.
The Two-Pass Process:
Approaching the Coal Pile: The loader maneuvers toward the coal pile, using its custom bucket to scoop a significant volume of material in a single motion.
Loading the First Pass: The operator lifts the bucket and positions it over the truck bed, releasing half the load with precision.
Returning for the Second Pass: The loader completes the process with a second bucketful, fully loading the truck and readying it for transport.
This method minimizes truck idle time, ensuring a steady flow of coal out of the mine and improving overall productivity.
*Working in a Massive Coal Mine*
The video captures the vast scale of the coal mine, with the Caterpillar 990 operating at its center. The machine’s size and power are matched by the enormity of the site, where trucks line up for loading, and loaders, excavators, and dumpers work in unison. The 990 stands out as a critical link in this chain, keeping the trucks filled and the operation moving efficiently.
*Advanced Features of the Caterpillar 990*
The Caterpillar 990 isn’t just about raw power—it also boasts advanced features that enhance its efficiency and usability:
Hydraulic Precision: The loader’s advanced hydraulic system ensures smooth, controlled movements, from scooping coal to dumping it into truck beds.
Operator Comfort: A spacious, ergonomic cabin provides operators with clear visibility and intuitive controls, enabling precise operation even in demanding conditions.
Durability: Built with a rugged frame and high-quality components, the 990 is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of coal mining.
Fuel Efficiency: The engine is optimized for heavy-duty performance, balancing power with fuel economy to reduce operational costs.
