Caterpillar 613G Scraper
Like its predecessor, the 613CII, the G-Series elevating scraper is a work alone machine able to cut and fill, finish grade, stockpile and condition material. Its ability to perform a variety of functions (load, haul, dump, spread, and compact) can reduce job site congestion with the use of a single machine. The 613G has a 8.4-cubic-metre heaped capacity, and it's an ideal machine for compact work areas. Add the efficiency of AccuGrade grade control, and the 613G can work to a plan and move dirt once - profitably - in both the cut and the fill.
Safety updates include an articulation neutraliser valve that prevents the machine from articulating when the operator enters or exits the cab while holding the wheel. Fatigue fighting features like a new, more ergonomically friendly cab allows the operator to swivel the seat for more comfortable loading. With its larger area and glass, the cab offers the operator a better field of vision around the machine. All daily service check points are at ground level, and when climbing on the machine is unavoidable, convenient hand holds and step platforms are situated for greatest security. This includes the platform and handhold that facilitates daily removal of the AccuGrade receiver. These platforms and handholds line up when the machine is articulated 90 degrees to the right.
The 613G features a cleaner, quieter and more powerful engine, a 360-litre fuel tank that supports 10 to 12-hour shifts, 30 percent more cab space for greater operator comfort, plus numerous improvements to the hydraulic, braking and electrical systems for reliable and durable operation.
Powering the 613G is a Cat C6.6 Engine with air-to-air aftercooling. It meets U.S. EPA Tier 3 and European Union Stage III A emissions regulations and delivers 144 kWs, a 3 percent increase over the previous model. A torque converter increases rim pull, improving performance and manoeuverability in tough materials. The combination of higher rim pull and faster elevator speed allows the 613G to fill its bowl significantly faster than the 613C II.
