Massive material movement with a reduced number of people, making it possible for fewer people to be put in potentially hazardous situations.
Machines that undergo risk assessments and are designed to meet strict codes and regulations.
Stairways, walkways, platforms and access points incorporated throughout to ensure safe and convenient access for maintenance personnel.
Dual access/egress doors and an optimally placed trainer seat with independent emergency stop.
Safety features incorporated into the operator cab, structures, surfaces and electrical equipment.
Safety-enhanced electrical system, with a single cabinet separating the power electronics from the centralized control electronics that restricts personnel access to the power electronics when troubleshooting; separation of the control electronics provides shielding of electrical noise that would eliminate high-frequency bonding.

Major structures designed for extended performance in harsh mining conditions, manufactured using impact-resistant, high-strength steel with select welds of full-penetration, profiled and ground type.
Large furnaces used to stress-relieve entire weldments for reduced susceptibility to cracking.
Equipped with AC IGBT Electrics, which deliver superior availability — routinely greater than 95% — thanks to fewer components, interchangeable inverters, no fuses or circuit breakers required, elimination of regular maintenance on power control modules, and reduced motor maintenance.
Mine-quality IGBT system with rugged welded cabinets to withstand harsh mining conditions.

X-3 Lip System that features side pin and vertical couplers that work with a full selection of tip styles and lip protection.
Retainer built into the tip for simplified operation; can be locked or unlocked with just one turn to speed change-up; and hammerless system requires no special tools and enhances safety.
Cat lips that feature 100% CapSure retention and machined fit surface for optimized fit.
Multiple tip options, including Heavy Duty Below Centerline, which is designed for extreme top abrasion and high-impact environments most common in dragline applications.
Quality Cat wire rope, manufactured using thermal injection process that provides complete penetration of plastic into the rope to resist the unwanted effects of abrasion and impact damage by encapsulating the strands to reduce steel-to-steel contact and seal in lubricants that prolong wire life.
Cat Dragline Wire Rope available in 6- and 8-strand design, with and without plastic impregnation; lengths and fittings built to specific requirements.
