Cab and Controls

Productivity, safety, comfort

Operator Environment

The D7R features an isolation-mounted, pressurized cab that reduces noise and vibration. Large, single pane windows offer good views all around the machine for maximum productivity and enhanced job site safety. The Comfort Series seat is offset by 15 degrees for better visibility. It features fully adjustable positioning and armrests to provide a comfortable platform when working on steep grades or slopes. Gauges and warning lights on the in-dash instrument cluster are easy to read, even in direct sunlight. The Cat Monitoring System Display gives operators and service technicians easy access to operating and maintenance information. The system provides three levels of warning and system monitoring so the operator can stay informed and still concentrate on the job. Heating and air conditioning vents evenly distribute airflow within the cab. The cab is pre-wired for a 12-volt or 24-volt radio, equipped with two speakers, an antenna and a radio mount recessed in the headliner.

Dozer and Ripper Controls

All D7R controls are ergonomically designed for low-effort and ease of operation. The dozer and ripper control levers feature pilot-operated hydraulics for added operator comfort and precise control. When the AccuGrade™ system is activated, the dozer is electro-hydraulically controlled. When the operator returns to manual control, the dozer is operated through the pilot hydraulic system.

Throttle Rocker Switch

With the touch of a finger, the rocker switch activates high or low idle. A decelerator pedal gives the operator full control of engine speed when the rocker switch is in the high idle position. Engine speed can also be easily set in any range between high and low idle by simultaneously using the decelerator pedal to set the desired speed and pressing the throttle switch in for three seconds.

Steering and Transmission Control

The operator uses a single handle control to perform all direction and gear selection. The tiller bar control allows the operator to work more precisely in close areas around structures, grade stakes and other machines. Differential Steering provides the finest modulation in the industry.

Work Tool Lock-Out Switch

The work tool lock-out valve prevents inadvertent operation of the hydraulic work tool attachments for added safety.

 

Engine

Power and reliability

Caterpillar is one of the world’s leading engine manufacturers. Every component of a Cat® engine is carefully designed to maximize durability and reliability. Precise controls optimize power and fuel efficiency while reducing emissions. Modular design and advanced electronic diagnostics enhance the engine’s serviceability.

ACERT Technology

The D7R features a Cat C9 engine with ACERT™ Technology. A series of Caterpillar innovations provide advanced electronic control, precision fuel delivery and refined air management, resulting in outstanding performance and lower emissions. To help customers work within expanding global regulatory requirements, the C9 engine with ACERT Technology has been certified to China Stage II (GB 20891-2007) emission compliance, equivalent to EPA Tier 2/EU Stage II levels.

ATAAC

The air-to-air aftercooler (ATAAC) – part of the advanced air management system – brings cool air to the engine. This increases life, reduces emissions, and helps maximize fuel efficiency.

Fuel Delivery

Multiple injection fuel delivery very precisely controls the combustion cycle. This lowers combustion chamber temperatures to reduce emissions and translates into more work output per unit of fuel. The Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injector (HEUI™) fuel system controls injection pressure over the entire engine operating speed range for complete control over injection timing, duration, and pressure.

Fractured Split Connecting Rods

Design creates near-perfect joint alignment, maximizing rod bearing life. This, in combination with a high efficiency oil filter, ensures long engine life.

Cat Advanced High Efficiency Oil Filter

Advanced oil filters provide outstanding contamination control for a much cleaner running engine. The advanced filtration is accomplished without the shorter change intervals often required with other brands.

Cooling System

The all new cooling system includes engine radiator, Air-to-Air After Cooler (ATAAC), and hydraulic oil cooler. Engine radiator consists of two units of bar plate cooler, which are connected at the top with hose. The aluminum bar plate construction provides improved durability to debris plugging, abrasion and corrosion resistance.

 

Power Train

Powerful efficiency

The power shift transmission, unique Cat torque divider and differential steering are matched with the C9 engine to deliver outstanding power and reliability. The integrated system efficiently puts more power to the ground, utilizing more of the available horsepower, so you get more done with less.

Differential Steering System

Differential steering puts you on the leading edge of productivity by maintaining power to both tracks while turning. When one track speeds up, the other slows down an equal amount. Maneuverability – especially with large blade loads – is improved, as well as cycle times in other applications. Greater load capacity, power and speed control are possible in soft underfoot conditions on steep slopes because both tracks are powered during turns. A single tiller bar controls all directional and speed functions for ease of operation.

Torque Divider

A unique Cat torque divider sends 70 percent of engine torque through a converter and 30 percent through a direct drive shaft for greater driveline efficiency and higher torque multiplication. The D7R torque divider provides high reliability and low dynamic torque. Components are designed to absorb full engine power, and deliver an optimum combination of operator efficiency and driveline reliability.

Planetary Power Shift Transmission

The transmission includes three speeds forward and three speeds reverse, featuring thick, large diameter, high capacity, oil-cooled clutches. These clutches provide higher torque capacity and increase service life. The planetary power shift transmission has a proven, robust mechanical control system. Modular transmission and differential slide into rear case for servicing ease, even when a ripper is installed. An oil-to-water cooler provides maximum cooling capacity, and forced oil flow lubricates and cools clutch packs for maximum clutch life.

 

Structures

Rugged design for maximum service

The foundation of every Cat dozer is a rugged frame built to absorb high impact shock loads and twisting forces. Castings provide added strength to the main case and equalizer bar saddle. The pivot shaft runs through the mainframe and connects the roller frame for independent oscillation. The full-length pivot shaft distributes impact loads throughout the case, reducing bending stresses on the case. This design eliminates alignment problems and the need for diagonal braces on the roller frames. The pinned equalizer bar gives the roller frames the ability to oscillate up and down to better match ground contours for maximum traction and operator comfort. Equalizer bar end pins are oil filled with limited slip seals for longer life and reduced repair costs. The D7R also features the tag-link design to mount the blade closer to the machine for excellent maneuverability, machine balance and blade penetration. The tag-link provides solid lateral stability and eliminates the need for diagonal bracing since it transfers side loads to the mainframe instead of dozer push-arms.

 

Undercarriage

Proven productivity

Since its ground-breaking introduction in 1978, the Cat elevated sprocket undercarriage arrangements allow optimized balance for best possible performance in each application. This is a field-proven design that offers outstanding machine performance and longer component life. Ground and implement shock loads are transferred to the mainframe to protect final drives, axles and steering components from harsh impacts for longer component life. The elevated sprocket design gives the operator excellent sight lines to the blade, sides and back of the machine. However, machine center of gravity remains low, offering excellent stability, balance and traction. Modular power train components make it quick to remove and repair the transmission, final drives, steering differential or brakes. Modular undercarriage components simplify service. Lifetime lubricated idlers and track/carrier rollers provide the ability to re-use internal components and rebuild or reshell components. This reduces owning and operating costs, and saves raw materials and natural resources.

Heavy Duty Undercarriage

Standard Heavy Duty undercarriage components are designed for extended wear life in abrasive conditions and high impact applications like forestry, side-slopes, or working in rocky or uneven terrain. Heavy duty track is designed for enhanced penetration. The leading and trailing edges of each track shoe overlap the adjacent shoe to increase durability and component life. Three (3) Undercarriage Arrangements are available:

• Standard arrangement – A general purpose undercarriage that performs well in many applications with firm underfoot conditions
• XR arrangement – More track to the rear positions the tractors weight forward, which increases traction and stability in drawbar, skidding and ripping applications
• LGP arrangement – Specifically designed to work in soft or wet conditions. Wide track shoes, long track frames, and a wider machine gauge increases ground contact area and reduces ground pressure for improved stability requiring flotation in swampy conditions.

Track Shoes

Moderate Service and Extreme Service track shoes are available to help optimize the machine based on its most frequent applications. Proper track shoe selection helps minimize wear for optimal undercarriage life – especially in high impact or highly abrasive conditions.

 

Work Tools

Equipped for the job

Load Sensing Hydraulics

Field-proven, load-sensing, pilot controlled hydraulics respond to operating requirements by automatically and continually adjusting hydraulic power to maximize work tool efficiency.

Cat Blades

Blade designs feature a strong box-section design, made from steel with high tensile strength to stand up to the most severe applications. Heavy moldboard construction and hardened bolt-on cutting edges and end bits add strength and durability.

• Semi-Universal Blade – designed for superior load retention and penetration in tightly packed materials. The Semi-Universal blades are available with optional Wear Plates for working in abrasive rock conditions.
• Straight Blade – available for the LGP machine. The Straight blade features ability to handle heavier material with aggressive cutting capability.
• Angle Blade – can be positioned straight or angled 25 degrees to either side manually. Designed for side casting, pioneering roads, backfilling and cutting ditches.

Multi-Shank Ripper

The three-shank adjustable paralleogram ripper is an excellent tool for preparing hard-packed material before dozing operations. The D7R multi-shank ripper also allows the ripper tip angle to be adjustable.

Rear Counterweight

Optimize balance for backing up steep slopes or increasing performance in heavy dozing applications and if another rear attachment is not specified.

Integrated Electronic Solutions

Technology to reduce costs and improve productivity

AccuGrade System for Track-Type Tractors

The AccuGrade system automates blade control for improved grading accuracy and more cost effective operation. Sensors calculate precise blade slope and elevation, then automatically adjust the blade to maintain grade. Automated blade control improves efficiency by reaching grade faster and in fewer passes, reducing the need for traditional survey stakes or grade checkers.

AccuGrade™ Ready Option

AccuGrade systems and controls can be integrated from the factory, making system installation and setup quick and easy. Integration also provides greater system protection and reliability.

AccuGrade Systems

Three (3) systems are available to match the AccuGrade Ready Option integrated ex-factory selection. All calculate necessary blade adjustments to achieve grade, make automatic blade adjustments and calculate cut/fill requirements.

• LASER enables automatic blade control to execute 2D profiles and requires direct line of sight to a LASER transmitter. Field-proven and versatile, the dual laser system is ideal for fine grading of sites with flat, single or dual slope surfaces, such as industrial, commercial and residential building sites.
• Universal Total Station (UTS) is a high accuracy dynamic system to track a machine and monitor blade positioning. The UTS instrument continuously measures the target’s position and transmits real-time positioning data to the operator via the in-cab display showing the exact position of the blade in relation to desired design.
• Global Satellite Navigation control systems are the best solution when a site involves contours, rather than single or dual slope planes. This technology uses Satellite Navigation to compare a blades position to a 3D computerized site plan and signals the operator, or automatically through the hydraulic system, to maneuver the blade to achieve the design.

Product Link

The optional Product Link* system is a factory installed or easily retrofitted wireless system that simplifies equipment fleet tracking. Using satellite or cellular technology, it automatically reports key machine parameters such as location, machine hours, active and logged service codes and security alarms. * Product Link licensing not available in all areas.
