UNDERGROUND
CHALLENGES.
INNOVATIVE
SOLUTIONS.
Underground hard rock mining presents special challenges when it
comes to safe, efficient, productive operation — from environmental
concerns and rising costs to communications and connectivity
challenges. Even simple logistical issues become harder to manage
as you dig deeper underground in search of new reserves.
But you want to do more than address these challenges. You want to
work harder and turn those challenges into opportunities to improve.
At Caterpillar, we feel the same way. We’re committed to listening
to your challenges and collaborating with you to find new ways to
improve the way you mine. From increasing productivity and reducing
emissions to lowering operating costs and reducing maintenance and
more, Cat® hard rock underground trucks and loaders are designed to
help you meet your challenges head-on.
But we never stop looking for new ways to innovate and optimize.
We continually improve our products and seek out new ways of
mining, new ways to reduce impact, and new ways to get more out
of game-changers like technology and automation.
UNDERGROUND CHALLENGES.
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS.
No matter what you mine — or how far
underground you mine it — you need an equipment
provider that understands the unique problems you
face, and that has years of experience in solving
them. You need a partner like Caterpillar.
A FOCUS ON QUALITY
Cat underground hard rock loaders and trucks are designed
in Burnie, Tasmania, Australia, and manufactured in Rayong,
Thailand. Burnie is home to the Caterpillar Burnie Proving
Ground, which features a complete underground autonomy
testing facility and training and demonstration center. The
Caterpillar factory in Rayong is one of the newest Caterpillar
manufacturing facilities and is 100% dedicated to underground
hard rock mining products. The facility was designed and built by
Caterpillar and is managed by a highly skilled and diverse team
that has embedded the Cat Production System into its culture.

TRUCK PAYLOAD
MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM (TPMS)
The optional TPMS system calculates the
payload the truck is carrying and determines
truck cycle times. It now offers digital
payload scoreboards on both sides of the
truck providing the LHD operator with visual
real time payload data.
DURILOCK™
LIP SHROUD SYSTEM
The new Durilock Lip Shroud system
for underground loader buckets is a
flexible, productive option for all Cat
underground LHDs. This new system
features hammerless installation and
maintenance-free retention of GET. Three
interchangeable shroud styles allow you
to configure your loader to its current
application needs — without stopping to
change the base edge or retention system.

production and development

REBUILDING, REMANUFACTURING
AND REUSING
We rebuild and remanufacture parts,
components and complete machines to increase
the lifespan of equipment — reusing instead of
discarding, conserving energy, reducing waste,
keeping nonrenewable resources in circulation
for multiple lifetimes and minimizing the need
for new raw materials. We’re also listening to
our customers and investigating ways we can
help them in their efforts to recycle end-of-life
machines and components.
Retrofits and upgrades enhance and improve
older machines to incorporate efficiency
improvements and emission reductions, and
to keep them in production longer to conserve
energy, lower emissions and minimize the
need for raw materials.
