• Reduces downtime and operating costs through improved serviceability, fuel savings, reduced maintenance and increased uptime.
• Since the main components are modular in design, most of them can be removed and reinstalled without having to modify other components, for efficient repair.
• The C13 engine has been optimized to keep its efficiency without compromising its performance. Eco mode can be activated to regulate the engine speed at high idle and ensure that the engine is running as efficiently as possible, allowing additional fuel savings.
• The offset section from the center of the frame is made of heavy-duty steel casting, designed to improve stress distribution and therefore extend component life.
• The structure of the rear frame is lengthened in order to facilitate access to the parts of the engine cowling, and also to improve the balance of the machine.
• The front axle steering cylinder extends life and hydraulic hoses are routed to improve reliability.
• The modular cooling pack simplifies the removal and installation of cooling system components, reducing maintenance times.
• The engine cowling doors provide full access to the engine without being obstructed by the crankcase frame.
• The maintenance intervals are extended, which reduces the number of interventions and downtime.
• Fluid Level Monitoring System helps prevent damage to most important components when fluid levels are low.

PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY

• Graders have a direct impact on the productivity of all other machines for mining applications, especially their role in the maintenance of transport tracks. Model 16 has been optimized for exactly this purpose:
• The extra weight added to the adjusted balance weight helps improve the performance of the 16M3 through improved traction and the ability to maintain ground speed, especially when carrying a large load.
• Available with three variants of the C13 engine depending on the region.
• Emission reduction technology works seamlessly; it does not require any intervention from the driver.
• The touch / color information display allows the operator to monitor machine performance and easily change machine settings to suit the job at hand. Provides the maintenance information needed to find and eliminate faults.

GUARANTEEING A SAFE SITE

• Caterpillar considers the safety of everyone, in, on, or around Cat machines, when developing products or improving safety features.
• Model 16 incorporates safety functions such as:

1. Access to the tandem
2. Rear view camera
3. Seat belt indicator
4. Access platform – optional
5. Access platform for maintenance – optional
