*Caterpillar 990 Wheel Loader: Handling Overburden with Efficiency*
Today’s video highlights the impressive Caterpillar 990 Wheel Loader in action, tackling overburden removal by loading material onto 4-axle trucks. With its powerful engine, large bucket capacity, and precise operation, the 990 demonstrates why it’s a cornerstone of productivity in mining and construction. The steady rhythm of loading and hauling underscores the efficiency of modern heavy machinery in handling large-scale material operations.
*Caterpillar 990 Wheel Loader: Built for Heavy Loads*
The Caterpillar 990 is designed to handle demanding material handling tasks in mining, quarrying, and other large-scale operations. Its combination of size, strength, and advanced technology makes it a reliable choice for overburden removal and bulk material handling.
Key Specifications:
• Operating Weight: 75,000–80,000 kg (165,000–176,000 lbs), providing exceptional stability for handling large loads.
• Engine Power: Powered by a Cat 3412 engine, delivering 700 horsepower (522 kW) for consistent and efficient performance.
• Bucket Capacity: Ranges from 10.7 to 12.2 cubic meters (14 to 16 cubic yards), allowing it to move significant volumes of material in every pass.
• Payload Capacity: Capable of lifting up to 20 metric tons (44,000 lbs), ensuring quick and effective loading cycles.
• Lift Height: Offers a maximum dump clearance of 4.3 meters (14.1 feet), making it ideal for high-sided trucks.
• Hydraulic Efficiency: Advanced hydraulic systems ensure smooth, precise movements for efficient material handling.
*4-Axle Trucks: Reliable Haulers*
The overburden excavated by the Caterpillar 990 is transported by 4-axle trucks, designed to handle large payloads efficiently. These trucks are vital for maintaining the operation’s productivity by ensuring a continuous flow of material transport.
Truck Specifications:
• Payload Capacity: Each truck can carry up to 40 metric tons, enabling efficient hauling over long distances.
• Engine Power: Equipped with engines producing between 450 and 500 horsepower, ensuring they can manage heavy loads on uneven terrain.
• Durability: Reinforced chassis and advanced suspension systems allow these trucks to handle the weight of overburden reliably.
*The Workflow: From Loader to Truck*
The Caterpillar 990 operates in a smooth cycle of excavation and loading, ensuring minimal downtime and maximizing productivity.
*1. Scooping Overburden:*
The 990 uses its powerful hydraulics to fill its large bucket with overburden material in a single motion. The bucket’s capacity ensures that significant material is moved with every scoop.
*2. Positioning and Loading:*
The wheel loader maneuvers effortlessly to position its bucket over the truck bed. With its high lift height and precise controls, the 990 unloads the material evenly and efficiently.
*3. Truck Departure and Arrival:*
Once loaded, the trucks transport the overburden to designated dump sites, maintaining a steady rotation that ensures the operation remains uninterrupted.
