Delivery of performance is critical to your bottom line.

Performance

Impeller Clutch Torque Converter (ICTC).ICTC combined with the RimpullControl System (RCS) allows theoperator maximum flexibility inmodulating rimpull.

• Compensates for wear by providingthe ability to recalibrate for optimumleft pedal modulation regardless oftorque converter wear.

• The impeller clutch torque converteruses the left brake pedal to modulaterimpull from 100 to 24 percentof available rimpull for reducedtire slippage.

• The RCS selector dial is usedto select the desired rimpullsetting from four factory presets(Maximum, High, Medium and Low).The reduced rimpull is only activein first gear forward.

• RCS will allow the operator tomatch rimpull to ground conditions.

• The torque converter is equippedwith a lock-up clutch for direct driveefficiency in second and third gear.

ICTC is standard with lock-up and freewheel stator.

Heavy-Duty Axles. The heavy-dutyaxles feature standard axle oil coolers,permanently lubed universal joints andstrong axle components in both thedifferentials and final drives for increasedperformance, serviceability and durability.

• Axle oil cooling system circulatesoil from the brakes and differentialsthrough an oil-to-air cooler thatprovides increased oil life whileextending component performanceand durability.

• The 854K features planetary reductionin each wheel. Torque is developedat the wheel, putting less stress onthe axle shafts. The planetary unitscan be removed independently fromthe wheels and brakes.

• Conventional differential is standard.

PROVEN ENGINE TECHNOLOGY.The 854K utilizes the Cat® C32 ACERT®

engine, certified to meet U.S. EPATier 2 and EU Stage II emission.The C32 is a Mechanically actuatedElectronically controlled Unit Injection(MEUI) diesel engine. This 597 kW(801 constant net hp), 12 cylinder,32 liter, turbocharged and aftercooledengine is common with the Cat 777F,993K, 992K and D11.

The 854K produces the same net poweras the 854G but has increased powerdensity with the C32 engine. The increasein power density yields improved engineresponse and fuel efficiency.

Single Lever Blade Controller. The 854Kis equipped with a new implementcontroller. The new implement controlleris a fully pilot driven control systemfrom the previous 854G with a cable-driven lift/lower. The new pilot drivenimplement system is easier to use andminimizes operator fatigue.

The right control pod contains a singlelevel blade control that permits theoperator to adjust lift, tilt and pitchwith minimal effort. Additionally,with all control centralized in one pod,the operator utilizes less effort whilecontrolling blade movements. Featureson the pod include:

1) A momentary switch at the front ofthe blade control lever changes left-right functionality from tilt to pitch

2) Horn

3) Set/Decelerate – Throttle Lock

4) Resume/Accelerate – Throttle Lock

5) Hydraulic Lockout

6) Dual Tilt

Load Sensing Steering. The 854K’sSTIC uses a single lever for steeringand transmission control. Left handoperation enables the operator to shiftor change directions without lettinggo of the steering control. The STICreduces operator fatigue by providingan ergonomic location that allows theoperator to work with a fluid andeffortless motion.
