Milton CAT 950H - Manual (Page 12)

• Comfortable operation
• Excellent visibility
• Easy entry and exit
• Controlled vibration
• Choice of steering systems
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT. The 950H
maintains the distinction of offering the
largest, most ergonomic cab in its class.
Seat. The Cat C-500 Series Comfort air
suspension seat, standard in the 950H,
is built strong and durable and is 6-way
adjustable to accommodate all-sized
operators. The cast one-piece back and
seat pan prevent protrusions under the
cushions. The seat features an
automotive-style lumbar support for
maximum comfort. The right hand
armrest with integrated implement
controls adjusts for comfortable,
convenient operation. A heated seat
option is available for additional
comfort.
VISIBILITY. The 950H provides
excellent visibility to both the front and
rear of the machine. Distortion-free flat
glass stretches to the floor of the cab for
excellent visibility to the bucket. Wet-
arm wipers on both front and back keep
the windows clean in any condition.
The cab roof has channels that direct
rain off the corners of the cab keeping
windows clear. An overhang on all
sides protects the operator from glare.
Windshield Cleaning Package. An
optional windshield cleaning package
provides additional steps and handrails
to provide easy access for cleaning the
front windows.
Rear Vision Camera. An optional rear
vision camera is available to clearly
monitor movement behind the wheel
loader.
Lighting Packages. Optional lighting
packages are available for roading or
low-light applications. The optional
High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights
provide exceptional lighting for night
work. A rotating beacon is available as
a safety feature.
ENTRY AND EXIT. A ladder with self-
cleaning steps keeps debris build-up to
a minimum. The ladder is at a 5°
forward incline for easy entry and exit.
Platforms are wide allowing ease of
movement to the front or rear of the
machine. The main cab door opens a
full 180° and latches in place to allow
safe navigation to the rear of the
machine.
The right side door opens 10°, or
completely for secondary exit simply by
pulling a pin. A full-length ladder on
the right side facilitates safe exit if
needed.
VIBRATION. Caterpillar understands that
wheel loaders work in some of the
harshest environments. By controlling
normal machine vibrations, operator
efficiency and productivity are
improved. From the ground up, the Cat
950H is designed with many features,
both standard and optional, that reduce
vibration.
• The oscillating rear axle follows the
contour of the ground while
allowing the cab to stay steady.
• The cab is attached to the frame with
iso-mounts designed to reduce shock
loads from the ground.
• The articulation joint is equipped
with two neutralizer valves that
prevent frame-to-frame contact.
• Cylinder dampening slows the
bucket as it reaches the limits of
travel, preventing machine jarring.
• Ride Control is an option designed
to reduce jolting and bouncing
during load and carry operations. An
accumulator acts as a shock absorber
to reduce machine pitching and
provide a smoother ride over rough
terrain.
• Electronically controlled, automatic
kickouts prevent the jerking and
bouncing associated with abrupt
cylinder stops.
• Air suspension seat-mounted
implement controls reduce vertical
vibrations that come up through the
floor.
AGGREGATE AUTODIG. The optional
Aggregate Autodig System provides
smoother loading cycles and
consistently full payloads without
touching the controls - reducing
operator fatigue.
