The importance of fuel efficiency in the Cat 980F

Diesel costs are one of the heaviest and expensive line items in a contractor’s budget. Latest heavy construction machines, especially Cat 980F wheel loader can significantly decrease the amount of diesel fuel burned each day. This fuel efficiency feature helps extend machine’s runtime and give greater productivity, long-lasting work, less time refueling and acquiring fuel. This amazing feature also reduces the total operating costs and, ultimately, be more competitive when a contractor bids for any big construction project. In this article, we’ll cover a few major principles of the fuel efficiency feature, which enhances the life of a Cat 980F wheel loader machine.

The impact of attachments on fuel consumption rate: –

The health of the sharp cutting edge or a bucket or teeth on a blade of a wheel loader machine can actually impact on fuel consumption rate. That’s why the 980F Cat has the latest and flexible tools, which smoothly work throughout the operating cycle. Keep in mind that dull, rounded ground engaging gadgets and attachments add more resistance and make it harder for the heavy construction equipment to cut through the material. That tough resistance ultimately burns more fuel over time.

Another important consideration is that the wheel loader bucket has the right kind of teeth/edge on it, so the Caterpillar Company has manufactured the strongest wheel loaders, in which they integrated the sharp teeth and cutting edges. The other brands of wheel loader bucket with rough teeth may actually produce more work at the construction site because of the cleanup of extra spillage, which is usually caused during the loading cycle. Contractors should properly understand the applications and choose the ground engaging equipment, like Cat 980F which is best suited for the majority of the task they perform.

Consistent work operation: –

The used heavy equipment machine engines are not meant for idle or stop, and they run most powerfully when the built-in engine is put under a consistent heavy load. When you idle the machine, then it represents an obvious waste of diesel/fuel with no productive effort taking place, but when the operator uses machine’s applications where he constantly throttles up, throttles down, accelerates and brakes, so these things cause an inefficient fuel burns as well as it damages the machine’s life too. The Cat 980F wheel loader gives a consistent work operation. This feature saves the expensive fuel of the machine and the contractor does not have to bear extra expense of fuel.

The operating modes of the Cat 980F wheel loader: –

No construction machine’s engine needs to run wide open at all times. This is totally wrong and wastes the machine’s energy and fuel. This is why the Caterpillar Company gives exclusive operating modes in the Cat 980F wheel loader machine. This feature helps to keep the fuel consumption rate down by managing the wheel loader’s runtime relative to in-operation.
