Overview

Faster. Smarter. Safer.

The Cat® R1600H Underground Loader has a powertrain tuned specifically for speed on grade — mastering poor floor conditions and delivering maximum production in all speed ranges. It has the necessary strength and durability to work in tough conditions, but its precise controls and efficient operation set it apart. It offers superior stability, exceptional digging and lifting, and a variety of efficiency-boosting functions, plus a transmission that delivers constant power.
The R1600H also offers a number of safety features, from FOPS/ROPS certified cab and safety glass to the ability to incorporate autonomous operation. Thanks to the extreme durability designed into the structure, the loader can be productive through up to four rebuilds. The R1600H is an ideal match for the Cat AD30 truck.


Please note that model availability may vary by region. Contact your local Cat dealer for details on models available in your area.

Cat

SAFETY

  • Large window openings for increased visibility and large grab handles on both sides to provide 3-point access to cab and machine.
  • Operator Present System, which protects the machine and operator from uncontrolled machine movements.
  • Integrated Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) resiliently mounted to the frame.
  • Service brake system actuated by modulated hydraulic pressure, and parking brake function that is spring-applied and fluid-released, assuring braking in the event of loss of hydraulic failure.
  • Safer service with hot and cold side of engine, hinged belly guards, bucket control group safety pins, ground-level compartment sight gauges, and three engine shut-off switches at ground level.
Cat

OPERATOR COMFORT & CONTROL

  • Air conditioning provides fresh, pressurized, temperature-controlled air circulation.
  • Optional sound-suppressed ROPS cab for a quiet, secure working environment.
  • Controls, levers, switches and gauges positioned to maximize productivity and minimize fatigue, plus STIC™ system that makes it possible to control the complete mobility of the machine with a single controller.
  • Four corner oil-cooled braking system, which provides excellent control.
  • Oscillating rear axle, which ensures four-wheel ground contact for maximum traction and stability at all times, plus a no-spin rear differential that reduces tire wear and maximizes traction in uneven terrain.
Cat

PRODUCTIVITY & PERFORMANCE

  • High hydraulic flow rates that provide fast hydraulic and cylinder response and powerful lift forces, plus large-bore tilt and lift cylinders that deliver exceptional strength, performance and durability.
  • Electronic auto shift transmission, which increases operator efficiencies and optimizes machine performance.
  • Proven Z-bar loader linkage geometry, which generates powerful breakout force and an increased rack back angle for better bucket loading and material retention.
  • Optional ride control system that reduces fore and aft pitch of the lift arm and bucket, giving operators confidence to travel at speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph) during load and carry operations for fast cycle times.
  • Mechanically Actuated, Electronic Unit Injection (MEUI™) high-pressure, direct injection fuel system, which electronically monitors operator demands and sensor inputs to optimize engine performance.
Cat

POWER & EFFICIENCY

  • Efficient and powerful Cat C11 engine, which delivers maximum tramming and loading performance in the most demanding mining applications.
  • Complete system integration of the engine and transmission to ensure fuel efficiency and smooth operation.
  • Unequalled lugging force while digging, tramming and traversing steep grades, plus torque rise that effectively matches transmission shift points for maximum efficiency and fast cycle times.
  • Superior powertrain efficiency thanks to high-capacity torque converter that delivers more power to the wheels.
  • Cat final drives that work as a system with the planetary power shift transmission to deliver maximum power to the ground.
Cat

BUCKETS AND G.E.T.

  • Buckets designed for optimal loadability and structural reliability, with four dump bucket sizes, one ejector bucket option and one bolt-together option — all designed and manufactured to match their performance capabilities.
  • Cat Modular Segment Welded Ground Engaging Tools (GET) System, which deliver welded part reliability with the replacement simplicity of a mechanical system.
  • Bolt-On Half Arrow (BOHA) GET for bucket edges, which offer more wear material than standard weld-on GET, and feature a bolt-on design that enables fast and easy removal and replacement.
  • Additional wear packages, including sacrificial wear strips and Cat heel shrouds protect the edges from damage and reduce the need for costly bucket rebuilds.
  • Cat Bucket Pro App, which provides real-time data on GET performance to help you plan maintenance, manage inventory and know cost-per-ton.
Cat

RELIABILITY & DURABILITY

  • Frame that is engineered to withstand extreme forces generated during loading and tramming cycles, with deep penetration and consistent welds throughout.
  • Oil-cooled pistons that increase heat dissipation and promote longer piston life.
  • Spread hitch design, which widens the distance between upper and lower hitch plates to distribute forces and increase bearing life, and thicker hitch plates reduce deflection.
  • Heavy duty steel lift arms with cast steel cross-tube to ensure extreme loads encountered during loading and tramming are efficiently dissipated for long service life.
  • Frame, powertrain, engine and components that are built to be rebuilt.

Cat® MineStar™ Command for underground enables remote operation of load-haul-dump machines to deliver immediate productivity and efficiency gains to your operation. The system improves safety by removing operators from hazardous environments. It also delivers machine utilization increases over line-of-sight mucking operations by reducing the downtime required for shift changes, blast times, and any other conditions that can remove operators from the face.
Options range from simple line-of-sight to full autonomy. This building block approach allows miners to capture value at their most economic entry point while allowing scalability as technology maturity grows.

How much safer would your operation be if you had visibility to all workers underground? If you could alert operators to potential hazards before they become threats? If you could identify fatigued operators? With Cat® MineStar™ Detect for underground, you can. Detect for underground addresses risks to people and assets by letting you “see” in the dark. Using a high-precision peer-to-peer proximity detection system coupled with a revolutionary communications network, Detect can prevent incidents and track people and machines — wherever they are underground — in real time. Detect provides situational awareness to operators, alerting them to hazards before they become a threat with no reliance on mine infrastructure.

Cat® MineStar™ Fleet for underground provides real-time visibility to cycle time, payload and other key operational parameters. It automatically records and tracks data up and down the value chain, providing insights that help you identify what’s working and fix what’s not. Thanks to our proprietary high-precision underground positioning technology, mines can accurately track personnel and assets to sub-meter accuracy. This also gives you access to critical cycle information, so you can better understand machine usage and overall efficiency of operations. Real-time two-way task management provides essential data that positively impacts productivity and helps you optimize the entire mining operation.
