VEHICLES, TRUCKS & TRAILERS
Designed and engineered for Australian
B-double applications, the new Cat
CT630S and CT630SC models feature
attributes to cope with heavy-duty tasks
including B-triple and roadtrain double
configurations.
Both the CT630S and the CT630SC are
the result of Cat Trucks' engineers in
Australia and the US setting out to develop
models capable of accommodating
34 pallet B-double combinations within the
regulated overall length envelope of 26m.
This goal was achieved by raising the
cab around 50mm and moving it forward
approximately 250mm to produce a model
which in non-sleeper form has a bumper
to back-of-cab (BBC) dimension of just
2845mm, or 112 inches.
The shortened hood and raised cab of
the ‘S’ and ‘SC’ also provide an improved
line of sight from the driver’s seat to the
road as well as a smoother passage of air
underneath the cab.
Manoeuvrability is improved with the
shorter BBC of the ‘S’ and the ‘SC’. Both
On the road with two new Cats
models also retain the smooth, rounded
lines which factor in the aerodynamic
efficiency which helped Cat Trucks gain
a reputation for frugal fuel consumption.
While the CT630S is available as a day
cab or with an integral extended sleeper
cab, the CT630SC is equipped with a
40 inch mid-rise sleeper designed and built
in Australia to Cat Trucks’ guidelines.
All versions are configured to haul 34
pallets in the 26m B-double length limit.
The ‘S’ and ‘SC’ carry a gross combination
mass rating of 90 tonnes and are powered
by Cat’s C15 engine, dispensing peak
power of 550hp (410kW) at 1800rpm
and top torque of 1850lb ft (2508Nm) at
1200rpm.
The C15’s outputs feed through an Eaton
‘Solo’ clutch into Eaton’s RTLO-20918
18-speed overdrive transmission offered in
manual form or the optional Ultrashift-Plus
automated version featuring the ‘Hill Start
Assist’ function.
Cat’s C15 meets the ADR 80-03 emissions
standard without the cost and complexity
of an EGR or SCR emissions system. The
C15’s emissions compliance is due to the
dual diesel particulate filters (DPF).
