Electronic Technician (Cat ET). Cat ET service tool provides service technicians with easy access to stored diagnostic data through Cat Data Link to simplify problem diagnosis and increase availability. Diagnostic Capability. Critical data from the electronic engine and transmission controls, including transmission shifting, engine speed and fuel consumption, provides service technicians with enhanced diagnostic capability to reduce downtime and operating costs. Overspeed Protection. The transmission control electronically senses engine conditions and automatically up-shifts one gear to prevent overspeeding. If overspeeding occurs in top gear, the lock-up clutch is disengaged.
Cat Data Link. Electronically integrates machine computer systems to optimize overall power train performance, increase reliability and component life, and reduce operating costs.
Controlled Throttle Shifting. Regulates engine RPM during shifting to reduce power train stress and clutch wear by controlling engine speed, torque converter lock-up and transmission clutch engagement for smoother shifts and longer component life. Economy Shift Mode. Reduces engine speeds, resulting in decreased fuel consumption, lower noise levels and potentially longer engine life.

Large target area provides high load carrying capacity. Its diverging flow design gives clean load ejection, which maximizes production and avoids waste of material carryback. Truck Payload Management System (TPMS). The optional TPMS system calculates the payload the truck is carrying and determines truck cycle times. Fast Hoist Cycle Times. Single-stage hoist cylinders provide fast dump cycle times of 10.5 seconds for raise and 11.2 seconds for lower.
Ejector Body. The ejector body offers clean load ejection and the capability to work in areas with restricted overhead clearance and soft underfoot conditions.
Structures
Rugged Cat structures are the backbone of the AD30 underground mining trucks durability.
Frame Design. The frame incorporates a box-section design with wide and stiff frame beams to handle torque loads. The frame design decreases stress in the hitch area and optimizes suspension geometry. Materials and weld joints are matched to optimize the life of the structure.
Articulating/Oscillating Hitch. The articulating hitch provides the truck with steering articulation and the oscillation ensures the truck maintains all wheel ground contact in rough terrain. Hardened steel pins, taper roller bearings and oscillating stops allows the rear frame to move independently from the front frame.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull
To determine gradeability performance: Read from gross weight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistance equals actual percent grade plus rolling resistance as a general guide use 2% for rolling resistance in underground application or refer to the Cat Performance Handbook. From the total
