INTERMAT launch for updated D6N

Caterpillar has given its D6N fine grading and muck-shifting dozer an EU Stage IIIb emissions-compliant engine for 2012. The 129kW C6.6 Acert engine now gets a DOC and DPF with passive regeneration, helping the machine to a 2% productivity boost primarily from sharper throttle response. There is also a selectable economy mode – linked to 2nd gear – that automatically shifts the dozer into 3rd gear when reversing, and simultaneously reduces engine revs from 2000 to 1700rpm. This system can give fuel saving

D6N gets host of improvements
178 Caterpillar has given its D6N fine grading and muck-shifting dozer an EU Stage IIIb emissions-compliant engine for 2012.

The 129kW C6.6 Acert engine now gets a DOC and DPF with passive regeneration, helping the machine to a 2% productivity boost primarily from sharper throttle response.

There is also a selectable economy mode – linked to 2nd gear – that automatically shifts the dozer into 3rd gear when reversing, and simultaneously reduces engine revs from 2000 to 1700rpm. This system can give fuel savings of up to 25%, said Cat.

The previous generation’s cast blade tower has been replaced by a fabricated and welded steel structure, enabling a ball-socket coupling – similar to that found on the D6T.

    JLG says the high-torque hydrostatic transmission of its L2906H compact telehandler, on show at INTERMAT 2012, allows for all-terrain application suitability “unmatched” by competitors. The L2906H and the rest of JLG’s compact range are equipped with a Stage IIIa Deutz engine that delivers 74.9kW Even in extreme rough terrain situations, the limited-slip differential feature on the front axle further enhances the traction provided by the high-torque hydrostatic transmission.

  • Meeting engine emission regulations challenges
    February 16, 2012
    New engine emission regulations pose major challenges for engine manufacturers - Geoff Ashcroft reports. The arrival of emissions regulations in January for engines over 130kW has meant that engine makers have adopted varied technologies to meet and exceed those goals. For the end user though, buying new kit that complies with Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emissions regulations is likely to carry additional costs.
