The new 988K XE is Caterpillar's first wheel loader with an efficient electric drive system. The new model joins the industry leader 988K and the newly released 986K wheel loader team. The 988K XE is highly productive in various loading applications and can be used in fuel efficiency versus total cost of ownership of the machine. More influential occasions.
The model uses SR (Switched Reluctance) technology and combines Cat's more than 15 years of power drive experience, and has undergone more than four years of rigorous field tests to verify its reliability in various applications. In order to ensure continuous and reliable operation, the mature C18 ACERT engine, mechanical transmission, transmission system and axle used at 988K are retained.
988K XE improves loading and transportation efficiency, overall efficiency by 25% and front-end loading application efficiency by 49% compared with 988K, thus reducing costs and helping to reduce operating greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint. In the meantime, Caterpillar's production research report says the new machines have increased productivity by 10% in carrier applications.
988K XE can provide 4.7-13 cubic metres of various specifications of buckets, loaded with compact and loose materials when the standard plate and elongated arm model rated load 11.3 tons and 14.5 tons respectively. Advansys Series Grounding Devices (GET) can protect bucket gear components and reduce operating costs, which can maximize the performance of the machine.
The standard 988K XE can efficiently fill three buckets with a 38.6 ton Cat 770G or four buckets with 46.3 tons of Cat 772. The extended arm version can fill five buckets with 55.3 tons of Cat 773G or six buckets with 64 tons of Cat 775G.
The electric drive technology used in 988K XE reduces the overall maintenance cost, increases the engine life expectancy, prolongs the oil replacement period to 2000 hours, and reduces the oil consumption of the transmission system of the electric drive wheel loader by 40%.
Durable SR-driven motors, generators and inverters can last up to the life of the second engine and have minimal maintenance requirements. In addition, the high-efficiency electric drive design improves the engine life up to 3,500 hours and extends the overhaul interval of the transmission system.
To assist in the overhaul of the electric drive system, Caterpillar provides world-class service training materials for customers, and a wide network of Cat agents provides industry-leading customer support. Remanufacturing of drive motors, engines and inverters can also be carried out to reduce overhaul costs.
988K XE cab interior changes little, for operators to provide similar functions and feelings with 988K. At the same time, the operator will feel smoother and easier to operate, the new model has only one speed range, so the machine can run efficiently without shifting, the new virtual transmission to help control the speed of the machine and shift smoothly.
Standardized Cat Product Link provides remote data monitoring through VisionLink, enabling key personnel to keep abreast of critical machine operation data, including fuel usage, payload profiles, periodic maintenance alerts, fault code warnings, and various production reports to help improve machine management. In addition, airborne VIMS (Important Information Management System) can provide operators with operational data such as real-time fuel consumption, fuel efficiency, etc. through an interactive touch screen display.
The new model uses a large number of technical solutions to improve operating efficiency and machine normal working hours, CPM (Carter Product Management) to deliver load weight to the cab, so the operator has more confidence in improving productivity and accurate load control. CPM provides advanced weighing mode to help improve load accuracy and reduce loading cycle time.
Optional TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) is a complete success of Cat, enabling operators to monitor tire inflation, through the VIMS display can quickly see the tire pressure, and if necessary take measures to reduce wear and prolong life.
