the problem
– Reduces MTTR
– Reduces daily maintenance efforts
– Enhances diagnostic capabilities
• Description:
– Monitors hoist, swing & crowd
bearing temperatures
– Alerts user of temperature problems
• Benefits:
– Helps predict maintenance through
bearing temperature trending
– Reduces downtime
– Reduces risk of major failure
• Caterpillar is committed to
providing safe products
• Designs are continuously
evaluated to identify & alleviate
safety hazards
• Standard machine includes many
safety enhancements
• Additional options offered to bring
the machine into compliance with
the strictest codes and regulations
including:
