For Dealer Sales Personnel
2011 Caterpillar - All Rights Reserved
The new D7R is positioned in power and weight to compete with regional domestic manufacturers in Emerging Markets around the world as well as traditional international manufacturers operating in same regions. The D7R brings world class features with benchmarks in reliability and durability.
Standard Equipment Changes
The D7R features commonality with the recently released D6R. Changes over the D7R Series II include: - Engine changed to the Cat C9 ACERT (8.8 L) over the 3176C SCAC (10.3 L). Net engine power remains unchanged. Aluminum Bar plate radiator cores replacing the NGMR (AMOCS) cores. Aluminum Bar Plate Cores provides improved abrasion and corrosion resistance. Mechanical controlled Differential Steering and transmission. Removes the electronic controlled version on the D7R Series II. GEN II monitoring system. Same as used in the D6R with 3-level monitoring/warning. Universal and Angle blades will no longer be offered and are to be covered as a custom basis.

Engine Cat C9 engine with ACERT Technology certified to China Stage II emission regulations that is equivalent to EPA Tier 2 or EU Stage II emission levels. This engine replaces the Cat 3176C engine certified at EPA Tier 2 or EU Stage II emission levels used on the D7R Series II and will allow future growth to EPA Tier 3 or EU stage IIIA equivalent emission levels as emerging markets dictate and/or require for the D7R. All variants of the D7R (Standard, XR and LGP) will be 179kW (240hp) net engine power at 2100 rpm advertised rated speed. A maximum net engine power of 194kW (260hp) occurs at 1900rpm and represents no change over D7R Series II machine. Superior net engine torque rise at 50% delivers superior lugging capability.

Caterpillar designed and manufactured Power Train Unique Torque Divider Planetary Power Shift Transmission Differential Steering
Caterpillar Confidential: Yellow
v2011-11-18
The D7R will feature the reliable and durable Torque Divider that is unique to Cat Track-type tractors that adds efficiency in utilizing 30% of the engine torque transmitted through a planetary gear set in the torque converter as direct drive. The torque converter provides cushioning to the remainder of the drive line and necessary torque multiplication. The Torque Divider is connected to the three speeds forward and three speeds reverse planetary Power Shift transmission. This transmission is mechanically controlled and is expected to deliver unrivalled reliability in the remote locations within Emerging Markets as a Voice of Customer deliverable. Differential Steering is mechanically controlled and maintains an unmatched steering system to competitors offering. Differential Steering provides a platform where there is uninterrupted power to both sides of the track when turning as compared to Clutch/Brake systems that interrupt power to a track side when turning. Differential steering provides constant center-line speed by simply speeding up one side and slowing down the other and demonstrating unmatched performance when spreading loads when maneuvering around obstacles on construction sites. Undercarriage Heavy-Duty Sealed & Lubricated Track as standard equipment Elevated Sprocket (hi-drive) configuration for Final Drives Pivot Shaft Design
The D7R will continues to feature Heavy-Duty Sealed & Lubricated track links with Tough Steel sprocket segments as standard equipment for the Standard, XR and LGP variants. Heavy-Duty Sealed & Lubricated track delivers the best performance when operating in high impact and general conditions seen globally. This undercarriage has the ability to continue in lowering operating costs by completing a pin-bush turn at link mid-life to provide the customer with unmatched undercarriage life. The Elevated Sprocket design removes the planetary Final Drives from impact shock loads and material sprocket packing to provide durable life and extending undercarriage life. The location aids remove and install times of major components that have customers back at work with minimal down time. The Pivot Shaft design assists to provide track oscillation as well as transmit forces back into the machines mainframe. Idlers, Track and Carrier Rollers are lifetime lubricated and guaranteed not to leak. They also offer a Sustainability element to the machine in the ability to re-use the internal components and either re-shell or rebuild the outer component.

Wide retractable seat belt (75mm/3in)
Pilot hydraulics for blade and ripper controls provides low effort and precise control of implements. Linked with ergonomic control handles with adjustable arm rests provide an operator station that will reduce fatigue over long periods and ultimately higher production. Pilot hydraulics also allow for the integration of Machine Control & Guidance controls such as AccuGrade in automatic control to grade in laser and three dimensional (3D) systems. The Differential Steer tiller bar provides all direction and speed controls in a single control lever that reduces fatigue and provides a more comfortable operator station when on construction sites where maneuverability is a key feature when navigating obstacles.
The AccuGrade Blade Control System is an integrated machine control and guidance system which enables operators to grade and fill with increased accuracy, minimizing the need for traditional stakes and grade checkers. The AccuGrade option will include an additional machine ECM (Electronic Control Module) to meet automatic control features and can accommodate Laser (right), GPS or UTS systems.
The instrument cluster (right) is the same as offered in the D6R and provides clear operating ranges of key machine parameters and a simple three-level warning system of critical system functions. This allows the operator to concentrate on the task at hand.
