Ideal for large rock excavation applications including surface mining, overburden removal, site preparation and road demolition
The T1155III surface miner is equipped with a Caterpillar® C15 ACERT Tier 3 or Tier 4 Final electronic engine, giving you the power needed to level surfaces on your construction or mining site
Pair this with a top-down cutting system to achieve greater rock penetration
Conduct surface mining extraction, remove ground surface, or create a smooth, level area for construction site preparation
Features may include:
Advanced technology for improved machine efficiency
SmartTEC performance monitoring assists operators with adjustments to machine controls to help improve efficiency and tracks the operational performance of the machine on a consistent platform across all machine models.
Elevated operator visibility and comfort
The elevating rollover protective module cab features LEXAN glass, filtered and pressurized air, heating and air-conditioning. The cab’s vantage point allows an optimal view of the boom, trench and conveyor.
Superior ground penetration and low chain wear
A rotary power trencher drive motor and splined headshaft produce a low speed and high torque which provide maximum ground penetration and low chain wear for optimal production results.
