CAT

The Cat® R1300G stands as our smallest underground loader, yet packs a punch with a breakout force of 12,020 kg (26,504 lb) and 117 kW (157hp) of engine power, delivering maximum production capability to smaller mines. Its productivity is further boosted by a smaller turning circle compared to competitors, along with a larger fuel tank for extended run time between refills. With superior bucket reach and dump capabilities, loading and emptying are faster and more efficient. Operators love the R1300G for its excellent loaded weight distribution, ride control, and seat suspension, ensuring maximum comfort during operation. For enhanced air quality within your mine, the R1300G offers an optional diesel particulate filter. Paired perfectly with the Cat AD22 truck, the R1300G is the ideal solution for underground mining operations.
