Milton CAT IT62H - Manual (Page 7)

Integrated Braking System. The Cat
exclusive Integrated Braking System
reduces axle oil temperatures and
improves transmission neutralizer
smoothness. IBS has a direct impact on
durability of the axles and brakes
especially in applications involving
long distances and/or heavy braking.
STRUCTURES. The articulated frame
design of the IT62H features a durable
box-section engine frame and rigid
four-plate loader tower that is
robotically welded. Robotic welding
creates frame joints with deep plate
penetration welds and excellent fusion
for maximum strength and durability.
Engine End Frame (EEF). A full box-
section engine end frame with hitch
plates at the front end provides a strong,
rigid structure that resists twisting and
impact loads. The result is an extremely
solid mounting platform for the engine,
transmission, axle, ROPS and other
accessories.
Spread Hitch. The distance between the
upper and lower hitch plates is an
important contributor to machine
performance and component life. The
Caterpillar spread hitch design provides
excellent load distribution and bearing
life. Both the upper and lower hitch pins
pivot on double tapered roller bearings
– improving durability by distributing
both vertical and horizontal loads over a
larger surface area. The wide opening
also provides excellent service access.
Non-Engine End Frame (NEEF). The
non-engine end frame provides a solid
mounting base for the front axle, lift
arms, lift cylinders and tilt cylinders.
The fabricated, four-plate loader tower
absorbs the forces associated with
loading, twisting and penetration.
Counterweight. The one-piece
counterweight is integrated into the
IT62H design and styling. This 4389 lb
(1991 kg) counterweight incorporates
the rear lights into the top of the
structure.
8-Bar Linkage. This linkage provides
parallel lift to keep the load level
throughout the lift cycle – particularly
important when using forks. Parallel lift
allows the operator to concentrate on
placing the load, instead of retaining it.
Visibility to the work tool is excellent.
Larger tilt cylinders and a more robust
linkage design improve breakout force
and overall rackback capability. Rotary
sensors for the lift circuit let the
operator electronically set detent
positions from the cab.
