Cab – ROPS/FOPS SAE J1394, SAE J11040APR88, ISO 3471-1:1986,ISO 3471:1994

Cat cab with separate Rollover Protective Structure/Falling Object Protective Structure (ROPS/FOPS) is standardin North America, Europe and Japan.

• ROPS meets SAE J394, SAE J1040 APR 88, ISO 3471-01:1986and ISO 3471:1994 criteria.

• FOPS meets SAE J231 JAN 81 and ISO 3449:1992 Level IIcriteria.

Sound Performance ISO 6394:1998

The operator sound exposure Leq (equivalent sound pressurelevel) measured according to the work cycle proceduresspecified in ANSI/SAE J1166 OCT98 is 75 dB(A), for the caboffered by Cat, when properly installed, maintained and testedwith the doors and windows closed.

• Hearing protection may be needed when operating with anopen operator station and cab (when not properly maintainedor doors/windows open) for extended periods or in noisyenvironment.

• The exterior sound pressure level for the standard machinemeasured at a distance of 15 m (49.2 ft) according to the testprocedures specified in SAE J88 JUN86, mid-gear-movingoperation, is 87 dB(A).

• The sound power level is 115 dB(A) measured accordingto the dynamic test procedure and conditions specifiedin ISO 6395:1988/Amd. 1:1996 for a standard machineconfiguration.

Bucket Capacity/Material Density Selection GuideRock Mining Applications only, for Coal Mining contact your Cat representative.

The following table provides a guideline for bucket selection based on various material densities and estimated fill factors.Based on the new ratings, fill factors are expected to be 110-120% in cohesive materials with easy digging, 100-110% intypical shot rock loading, and 90-100% in poorly shot rock with large rocks and difficult penetration. For many miningapplications, the 994F standard lift is matched with the 19 m3 (24.5 yd3) rock bucket and the high lift is matched with the17 m3 (22.5 yd3) rock bucket.

Changes in bucket weight, including field installedwear iron, can impact rated payload. Consult yourCaterpillar dealer for assistance in selecting andconfiguring the proper bucket for the application.The Caterpillar Large Wheel Loader Payload Policyis a guideline intended to maximize wheel loaderstructural and component life.

(§) Specifications rating conform to all applicable standards recommended by the Society of Automotive Engineers. SAE standard J732c governs loader ratingsand is denoted in the chart by (§).

* Dimensions are measured to the tip of the bucket teeth to provide accurate clearance data. SAE standard specifies the cutting edge.** Static tipping load and operating weight shown are based on standard machine configuration with 53.5/85-57 tires, full fuel tank, coolant and lubricants.

*** Measured 102 mm (4 in) behind tip of cutting edge with the bucket hinge pin as pivot point in accordance with SAE J732c.
