The Cat C15 engine with ACERT Technology provides unequalled lugging force while digging, tramming and traversing steep grades. Torque rise effectively matches transmission shift points for maximum efficiency and fast cycle times. Mechanically Actuated, ElectronicUnit Injection (MEUI) high-pressure, direct injection fuel system electronically monitors operator demands and sensor inputs to optimize engine performance. Air-to-air aftercooling provides improved fuel economy by packing cooler, denser air into cylinders for more complete combustion of fuel and lower emissions. Oil coiled pistons increase heat dissipation and promote longer piston life. Thecrankshaft is forged and induction hardened for long-term durability. The Cat C15 engine features the optional Ventilation Reduction Package. The VR Package incorporates selective engine hardware andsoftware to minimize diesel particulate matter in the engine exhaust. Engines equipped with the VR Package feature a significant ventilation rate reduction, a decrease in fuel consumption, and maintained or improved product performance. VR Package availability issubject to regional regulatory compliance. Optional U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage III compliant engine is also available.
Robust Design
Designed for rugged underground mining conditions, theproven planetary power shift transmission is built for longlife between overhauls.
Transmission Neutralizer
The operator can engage the service brakes and neutralize the transmission, maintaining high engine rpm for full hydraulic flow, enhancing digging and loading functions.
Final Drives
Cat final drives work as a system with the planetary power shift transmission to deliver maximum power to the ground. Built to withstand the forces of high torque and impact loads, double reduction final drives provide high torque multiplication to further reduce drive train stress.
Hydraulics
Cat hydraulics deliver the power and control tokeep material moving.
Hydraulic System
Powerful Cat hydraulics deliver exceptional digging and lifting forces for fast cycle times. High hydraulic flow rates provide fast hydraulic cylinder response and powerful lift forces. Large-bore lift and tilt cylinder delivers exceptional strength, performance anddurability.
Pilot Controls
Low effort, pilot operated joystick implement control withsimultaneous lift and tilt functions optimizes operatingefficiency.
Structures
Rugged Cat structures the backbone oftheR3000Hs durability.
Frame Design
The frame is engineered to withstand extreme forces generated during loading and tramming cycles. Precision manufacturing process ensures all structures are consistently built to high quality. Deep penetration and consistent welds throughout theframe ensures structures are solidly fused toprovide sturdy platform for the linkage and the axles. Thedesign and manufacturing quality of Cat LHD frames havebeen proven byour customers, many of whom reuse frames during machine rebuilds to get2nd and 3rd lives out oftheir LHDs.
Hitch
Spread hitch design widens the distance between upper and lower hitch plates to distribute forces and increase bearing life. Thicker hitch plates reduce deflection. The wide opening provides easy service access. Upper and lower hitch pins pivot on roller bearings to distribute horizontal and vertical loads over a greater surface area. Shim adjusted preload reduces maintenance time. An on-board steering frame lock pin is fitted to prevent articulation during maintenance and service.
Sealed Pins
Sealed colleted pins are fitted to all bucket and lift arm hinge points for longer pin and bushing life. This reduces maintenance costs and extends service intervals. The sealed joints retain lubrication and prevent contaminant entry.
Operator Comfort
Ergonomically designed for all-day comfort, control and productivity.
The operator station is ergonomically designed for total machine control in a comfortable, productive and safe environment. Allcontrols, levers, switches and gauges are positioned tomaximize productivity and minimize operator fatigue.
Protective Structure
Integral to the cab and frame, the resiliently mounted Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and the Falling Objects Protective Structure (FOPS), isolates the operator from vibration for a more comfortable ride.
Monitoring System
Cat Electronic Monitoring System (Cat EMS) continuously provides critical machine data to keep the machine performing at top production levels.
Serviceability
More time for production.
Service Access
Easy access to daily service points simplifies servicing and reduces time spent on regular maintenance procedures.
Ground-Level Access
Allows convenient servicing to all tanks, filters, lubrication points and compartment drains.
Air Filters
Radial seal air filters are easy to change, reducing time required for air filter maintenance.
Sight Gauges
Fluid level checks are made easier with sight gauges.
Diagnostics
Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET) service tool enables quickelectronic diagnosis of machine performance and keydiagnostic dataforeffective maintenance and repairs.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull
To determine gradeability performance: Read from gross weight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistance equals actual percent grade plus rolling resistance. As a general guide use 2% for rolling resistance in underground applications or refer to the CaterpillarPerformance Handbook. From the total resistance point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear, thendown to maximum speed. Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available and weight on drive wheels.
