Cat®ExternalPayload Display
Underloading Cat trucks can compromise machine productivity,
while overloading trucks can cause excessive wear to drive
train
components, frames and tires, drastically impacting costs.
With
Caterpillar’s Truck Payload Monitoring System (TPMS) and
VitalInformation Management System (VIMS), truck operators can
maintain proper payload weight control, minimize
underloading
and overloading, and ultimately lower cost per ton.
Caterpillar’s Mining and Earthmoving Technology Systems
(METS) group has developed a new tool to help optimize
payload
and production. The Cat External Payload Display displays
measured payload on haul trucks during loading and roading
for
shovel and loader operators. By making VIMS and TPMS payload
information available and visible to machine operators and
mine
managers, haul trucks can be used more efficiently.

The display consists of a large 14" x 27" (356 x 686 mm)
screen
mounted on the side of a haul truck, displaying measured
payload
in 10" (254 mm) red digital numbers. Loading tool operators
can
view the screen and quickly determine if the truck is full or if
they
need to make another pass. Experienced operators can
consistently
optimize truck payload by observing the display and
adjusting
bucket fill factors based on payloads of trucks previously
loaded.
The display is available in three configurations: right only,
left only,
and right and left combination. The screen displays in English
or
metric units and offers excellent visibility, even in bright
daylight.
The display connects through the telemetry port and provides
a
communication feed through additional devices.
The Cat External Payload Display is available on new trucks,and
is retrofittable on existing trucks. The display can be ordered
through CMT Custom Products, 217-475-4230 (4310), or can be
ordered on a Miscellaneous Machine Shipping Order (MMSO)
through the Machine Order Division.
Part numbers for machines equipped with VIMS are as follows:
For machines equipped with TPMS, contact CMT Custom
Products for part numbers.
