Introduction
Cat
D11 track-type tractors have been working around the world proving themselves as highly productive,
reliable, and durable machines backed by world class support. The Cat D11T builds on that expectation for
performance, reliability, durability and operator comfort.
Since the D11N was introduced in 1987, it has become the standard of the industry for large construction
and mining tractors. The R series tractors built on that standard while meeting more stringent Tier 1 emissions
requirements. With changing times comes new opportunities. Caterpillar has taken every opportunity and
designed the new D11T with the next generation in mind. The new D11T and D11T Carrydozer (CD) will be
offered with two variations of the C32 engine with ACERT Technology. One will be U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final
certied and required for sale in the United States and Canada. The other will remain at 2006 U.S. EPA
Tier 2 equivalent emission levels for sales outside of the United States and Canada.
The D11T combines power and efciency with advanced technology for outstanding production at a
lower cost-per-yard. The durable construction of the D11T is well suited for tough working conditions.
Combined with the Cat C32 ACERT engine for superior performance, fuel economy and meeting
emissions targets, it keeps material moving with the lowest overall cost.
The Komatsu D475A-5, rst introduced in 2003 and updated in 2006 with a U.S. EPA Tier 2 engine,
is the primary competitor for the D11T. The D475A-5 is primarily used in mining and large-scale
heavy construction projects. The development of this tractor focused on operator comfort, sound levels,
and reduced maintenance and repair cost.
The main selling points of the D475A-5 are the lock up torque converter and low cab sound levels.
The low sound design focuses on sound absorbing fan blades, side enclosure with air duct, double hood,
and viscous cab mounts.
Summary/Key Selling Points
The D11T frame is a fabrication featuring box section construction, and high strength steel castings in
high stress areas giving it higher strength and durability.
The D11T has outstanding durability due to frame design containing castings used in important stress
prone areas and component placement, such as the suspended undercarriage that raises the nal drives
above the ground.
The mainframe is built to withstand high impact loads induced by heavy dozing and ripping in hard
clays, shales, and rock.
The D11T has better ride quality, especially in reverse, than the D475A-5 due to its fully suspended
undercarriage and sprocket placement.
The elevated sprocket raises the sprocket above abrasive materials, extending sprocket life. Shock loads
from the blade are directly carried to the mainframe rather than through the nal drive cases. More track
is located aft of the sprocket for better balance and improvements to traction and otation while
counteracting front-end rise during heavy dozing and drawbar work.
D11T Featuring Elevated Sprocket Design
The D11T has a torque divider and a three-speed planetary transmission. The D475A-5 uses a lock-up
torque converter and a three-speed planetary transmission. The torque divider, offered by Caterpillar,
provides a more efcient power train system over a broader operating range than a torque converter
and does not require the operator to decide when to enable or disable lock-up capability.
The major power train components of the D11T are designed as separate modules that are easy to
remove. Komatsu uses a one-piece power module that is difcult to remove. The D475A-5 requires
pulling off the ROPS, cab, operator platform, and fuel tank to get the power module out.

Cat Modularity Komatsu Body and Frame
The blade tag-link design of the D11T keeps the blade closer to the tractor, improving maneuverability,
tractor balance, blade penetration force, pryout force, and blade control.
D11T Tag-Link
The D11T has standard open labyrinth seal guards to protect the nal drive components when working
in applications where mud packing is common.
D11T Standard Open Labyrinth Seal Guards
The D11T provides an ergonomically designed cab and electro-hydraulic controls, making the operator
more comfortable and efcient. With the updated cab interior there is more commonality across the
product line and is easier to clean. Also, the new Automatic Climate Control system automatically adjusts
the heating and air conditioning controls to maintain a consistent cab temperature throughout the day.
Suite of Electronics
Standard Automatic Blade Assist (ABA) allows the blade to pitch forward and backward
automatically through preset positions to improve productivity.
Autocarry (optional) provides automatic blade control (raise and lower only) during the carry
segment of the dozing cycle.
Terrain for Grading (optional) enables an electronic site plan to be sent to the machine from
the ofce in real-time, directing the operator where to cut and ll. Terrain for Grading provides
high precision management of dozing and grading applications for enhanced safety, productivity
and efciency.
Automatic Ripper Control (optional) reduces operator fatigue and decreases wear and tear on the
machine. This is done by monitoring the tractor speed with the new cab mounted Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) to automatically adjust engine speed and ripper depth to minimize track slip.

D11T Terrain for Grading
The D11T features Finger Tip Controls (FTC) that require less effort and are more comfortable for long
periods of operation than the D475A-5 Palm Command Control System (PCCS).
D11T Finger Tip Control Steering D475A-5 PCCS Control Steering
An integrated electronics suite provides building blocks for future machine control and management
strategies that are being developed today.
The D11T offers optional features including a hydraulically powered ladder that can be raised and
lowered for access to and from the operator station, rear platform that can be attached to the 1911 liter
(505 U.S. gallon) fuel tank, and spectator sound suppression for locations where sound levels are a concern.
Standard heavy duty guard rails are strategically placed on the edges of the fender platforms outside the cab.
Strategically placed heavy duty grab handles and non-slip steps and decking aid the operator getting
on and off the machine.

D11T Rear Platform
D11T Hydraulically Powered Ladder D11T Raised Ladder with Rear Platform
Multiple visibility package options enhance the operators visibility of their surroundings and provides
a broader view of the work area. The packages include a Work Area Vision System (WAVS) camera
system (single or dual) and mirrors inside and outside the cab.
D11T Dual Camera System D11T Camera View from Operators Station
D11T Carrydozer was developed from the standard D11T, but with the following modications:
Frame has been modied to provide durability and reliability in the carry dozer application.
Hydraulic specs are redened for optimal performance when using a Carrydozer blade.
Carrydozer blade is designed to carry material inside the blade curvature for maximum productivity.
Heavy single shank and multi shank rippers along with optional counterweight are available for rear
attachment.
The D11T offers safety and sustainability features including ecology drains, longer oil change interval
in certain applications, remanufactured parts and components for repair, extended life coolants,
SOS
SM
sampling ports, and sight gauges.
D11T Ground Level Service Option
A standard ground level service center mounted on the rear attachment or ripper provides easy access to:
secondary engine shutoff, access lighting switch, fast fuel and optional high speed engine and power train
oil change.
The D11T is supported by the unmatched worldwide Cat dealer network of trained experts that will
keep the machine up and running, maximizing your equipment investment.
World class product support through the worldwide Cat dealer network offers many repair options
including piece parts, complete new components, complete remanufactured components, and dealer
exchange and rebuild.
Many Cat dealers offer extended warranty options, Maintenance and Repair Contracts (MARC),
and Customer Service Agreements (CSAs).

D11T Case and Frame
The D11T mainframe is built to absorb high impact
shock loads and twisting forces of severe dozing
and ripping. The full box section design keeps
components rigidly aligned. Heavy steel castings
provide a strengthened main case, equalizer bar
saddle, front cross member and mounting location
for the forged steel tag-link trunnion. Top and
bottom rails are made from continuous rolled sections
to eliminate welds and machining, which provide for
superior mainframe durability. Heavy steel hydraulic
tubing is pressed into the main case to minimize
external hoses and to ensure a leak-free drive train
oil system. Robotic welding in critical areas ensures
weld consistency and strength.
The pivot shaft and pinned equalizer bar maintain
track roller frame alignment. The equalizer bar is a
high strength steel forging. The case and frame features
a one-piece cast case with provisions for ripper and
ROPS mounting. It elevates the nal drives well
above the ground level work area to protect them
from impact loads, abrasion and contaminants.
The power train oil reservoir is included in the
one-piece rear case casting. The heavy cast saddle is a
ribbed design that increases frame life. The front engine
and radiator guard mounts are heavy castings as well.
The frame design allows for easy servicing of the
transmission, bevel gears, steering clutches, brakes,
and nal drives. These components are accessible
directly from the rear or side of the tractor and do not
require any major component removal for access.
D475A-5 Case and Frame
The D475A-5 mainframe is a hull, fabricated plate
design. The fabricated plate design can experience
excess vibrations and/or early stress fractures.
The hull design reduces power train access.
To service the torque converter, transmission, bevel
gears, steering clutches, and brakes, they must be
raised vertically out of the frame. As a result,
the cab, ROPS, operator platform, and fuel tank
must be removed to service these components.
These components are combined into a single unit
that Komatsu calls a power module.

Features
Features
D11T Cooling System
The D11T cooling system uses a two-piece radiator
built with rugged, highly efcient aluminum bar
plate cores. The aluminum bar plate construction
aids durability and allows for higher heat transfer
and superior corrosion resistance. The aluminum
bar plate radiator has 8.5 ns per inch density, with
(optional) 6 ns per inch for plugging applications.
The new air to hydraulic oil cooler reduces hydraulic
oil temperatures thus improving component life.
The core is built using the same rugged aluminum
bar plate design as the jacket water cooler.
The use of a hydraulically variable demand fan
provides engine cooling capability that is matched
to the ambient conditions. In cooler conditions,
the fan turns at a slower speed, reducing power
demands. This reduces fuel consumption in lower
load factor operations. Low speed fan operation also
reduces both operator and spectator sound levels.
The D11T also offers an optional hydraulic reversing
fan for automatic clean-out with ultra low fan speeds
for cold climate applications.
Another optional attachment for the D11T cooling
system is the Mesabi Radiator.
D475A-5 Cooling System
The D475A-5 features a one piece radiator with
one individual core. Komatsu does not offer optional
radiator packages to meet customer needs for
different application requirements.
The engine cooling system requires manual activation
and uses a hydraulically driven engine cooling fan
that is controlled depending on the hydraulic oil
and coolant temperature. Two modes are available;
reverse and reverse/clean-out to facilitate radiator
maintenance. It is unclear if these modes are
automatic on the D475A-5.

Features
Cat C32 Engine
C32 Engine The D11T and D11T CD feature a
Cat C32 ACERT engine to deliver the performance
and efciency that customers demand. An engine
that meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final emissions
standards will be available for sales in the
United States and Canada.
Performing at full rated net power of 634 kW (850 hp)
at 1,800 rpm with a high torque rise of 21 percent,
the large 32.1 L (1,959 in
3
) displacement and high
torque rise allow the D11T to doze through tough
material. Matched with high efciency torque divider
and electronically controlled power shift transmission,
it will provide years of dependable service. For higher
altitude applications, the Cat C32 engine offers 22%
more altitude capability over the Komatsu engine.
The Cat C32 engine does not require derating up
to 3658 m (12,000 ft). With the Komatsu engine
no derating is required up to 2999 m (9,840 ft).
To improve high altitude performance above 3658 m
(12,000 ft), Caterpillar offers an optional arrangement
that uses a different impeller in the torque divider.
To best of our knowledge Komatsu has no optional
higher altitude arrangement.
ADEM A4 Engine Controller The ADEM A4
electronic control module manages fuel delivery and
air ow to get the best performance per liter (gallon)
of fuel used. It provides exible fuel mapping,
allowing the engine to respond quickly to varying
application needs.
MEUI Fuel System The Cat MEUI fuel system
is a eld-proven design, combining the technical
advancement of electronic control with the simplicity
of direct mechanically controlled unit fuel injection.
This system has a strong history of reliability and
design integrity. It excels in its ability to control
injection pressure over the entire engine operating
speed range.
This system electronically controls injection pressure
by monitoring the engine speed and load conditions.
In the MEUI fuel systems, a low-pressure fuel
transfer pump provides fuel to the injectors, which
then introduce highly pressurized fuel into the
combustion chamber with precise timing, duration,
and pressure. The injectors pressurize the fuel to
deliver very ne, atomized fuel particles into the
combustion chamber, thus producing a more
efcient burn. Combined with electronic control,
engines with ACERT Technology are producing
more work for a customers fuel dollar.
Overhead Cams Two, single (one per head)
overhead cams are driven by gears on the ywheel
end of the engine. Placing the cam gears at the
ywheel end signicantly reduces noise and vibration.
To reduce wear, two pendulum shock absorbers are
mounted at the front of the camshafts. These features
contribute to the long-life and durability of this engine.
Component Life Oil-cooled pistons and full-length
water cooled cylinder liners provide maximum heat
transfer, and utilize additional coolant passages to
provide maximum cooling to the engine. Through-
hardened crankshaft journals and steel-backed,
copper-lead bearings, help assure reliable performance
in the toughest applications.
Fuel Heater (optional) The optional fuel heater
uses the temperature of the engine return fuel to
warm the cold fuel coming directly from the tank.
The heater is strategically placed directly at the fuel
tank and ahead of any lters in order to minimize the
risk of fuel gelling. Temperature regulators built into
the fuel heater ensure that the heat exchange only
occurs at cold fuel temperatures. The fuel heater
option allows an easier transition to winter blended
fuels during season changes.
Features

Air-to-Air Aftercooling Air-to-air aftercooling on
the D11T cools hot, compressed air coming out of
the turbocharger which provides cooler and denser
air into the air intake system. Bringing more cool air
into the engine increases power generation and lowers
emissions. In addition, the aftercooler, along with
the tight-tolerance combustion chamber components,
maximizes fuel efciency.
Steel Spacer Located between the block and head
to eliminate the need for block counterbores, and
extend block life.
Service Engine enclosures provide easy access to
maintenance points within the engine compartment.
Easier maintenance and repair is available through
monitoring of key functions and logging of critical
indicators. Electronic diagnostic access is possible
with a single tool, the Caterpillar Electronic
Technician (ET).
ET is a personal computer-based service tool that allows
the technician access to service all ECMs. ET offers
ash programming and histogram capabilities, and
saves machine systems status data.
Features
The information below only refers to the
C32 engine that meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final
emission standards.
The C32 ACERT engine meeting U.S. EPA Tier 4
Final emission standards will continue to be counted
on to work productively and economically in tough
applications. It delivers the power and torque needed
for optimal performance.
High Efficiency Turbocharger A new high
efciency turbocharger with a simple design and
fewer moving parts enhances reliability. It delivers
variable boost, dependable performance and long
service life in the most demanding applications.
Emissions Reduction Technologies To meet U.S. EPA
Tier 4 Final emissions standards, Cat emissions
reduction components have been designed to match
application needs. D11T and D11T CD system
components include:
Cat NOx Reduction System The Cat NOx Reduction
System captures and cools a small quantity of
exhaust gas, then routes it into the combustion chamber
where it drives down combustion temperatures and
reduces NOx emissions. The result of more than
a decade of Caterpillar engineering research into
this technology, the Cat NOx Reduction System is
designed to be the most reliable system of its type.
Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)
The DOC uses oxidation, a chemical process,
to condition exhaust gases to meet regulatory
requirements.
The DOC does not require maintenance because
it is a ow-through device and the particulate
matter does not get trapped in the component.
DOC only Muffer
Integral
Mounting
Cradle
Aftertreatment will consist of Cat Clean Emission
Module (DOC + mufer). A Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF) is not required, so the D11T does not have a
Cat Regeneration System.
MEUI-C Fuel System Developed from the eld
proven MEUI-A system while increasing fuel
efciency and further NOx reduction.
EUI injector platform retained
Precise multiple injection capability
Injection pressure 30,000 psi
Features
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) Fuel and
Low Ash Oil
ULSD fuel ( 15 ppm or mg/kg) sulfur is required
Cat ECF-3 spec (API CJ-4 and ACEA E9)
low ash oil is required
U.S. EPA Tier 4 Testing and Validation The testing
and validation program of Cat Tier 4 engines is the
largest in Caterpillar history. This industry-leading
engine validation program will ensure that all new
Cat engines deliver reliable performance from the
rst day on the job.
Multi-segment, multi-phase validation of prototype,
pilot and support machines was conducted in a wide
variety of the most demanding applications.
Developed a new manufacturing plant process
designed to improve production and quality.
Advanced power system simulators provide
extensive modeling, analysis and testing.
Next generation simulation techniques enhance
cooling system design, increase electronics
capabilities and optimize power train integration.
Features
Komatsu SAA 12V 140E-3 Engine
The D475A-5 uses a Komatsu SAA 12V 140E-3
diesel engine, with net power of 641 kW (860 hp)
at 2,000 rpm with fan fully engaged. The SAA 12V
140E-3 engine has a bore of 140 mm (5.51 in) and
a stroke of 165 mm (6.5 in). It uses a direct injection
fuel system with an all-speed electronic governor.
The engine has no derating up to 2999 m (9,840 ft).
The intake air system is turbocharged and uses
air-to-air after cooler.
The SAA 12V 140E-3 engine is also used in
HD785-7 off-highway truck, PC2000-8 shovel,
and WA800 and WA900 wheel loaders.
The engine is emissions certied for Tier 2 EPA.
The Cat C32 engine with a displacement of 32.1 L
(1,959 in
3
) has a 5.3% displacement advantage
over the Komatsu SAA 12V 140E-3 engine which
has a displacement of only 30.48 L (1,860 in
3
).
The larger displacement and high torque rise of
the C32 allow the D11T to doze through tough
material more efciently.
Features
D11T Torque Divider and Transmission
The D11T is equipped with a single stage torque
converter with an output torque divider that sends
75 percent of engine torque through the converter
and 25 percent through a direct drive shaft for greater
driveline efciency and higher torque multiplication.
The torque converter shields the driveline from
sudden torque shocks and vibration. Using a torque
divider provides higher efciency than a normal
torque converter and it does not require the operator
to select the operating mode. The Komatsu uses a
lock-up clutch which requires the operator to choose
when to enable or disable the lock-up capability.
The planetary power shift transmission has three
speeds forward and three speeds reverse, utilizing
large diameter, high-capacity, oil-cooled clutches.
Some of the features of the transmission include:
Modulation system permits fast speed and
direction changes.
Modular transmission and bevel gear slide
into rear case for servicing ease, even with
ripper installed.
Oil-to-water cooler for maximum cooling capacity.
Forced oil ow lubricates and cools clutch packs
to provide maximum clutch life.
Controlled throttle shifting regulates engine
speed during directional shifts for smoother
operation and longer component life.
Electronic Long Range Transmission (ELRT)
controlled throttle provides smoother shifting
and reduces shock loads on the components.
This feature provides auto-shift capability that
allows the operator to go from rst forward
to second reverse just by making a directional
change. The operator can override the auto-shift
feature at any time.
The D11T electronic transmission control system
is equipped with auto downshift. This feature
adds value by enhancing safety and productivity
during the dozing cycle. If the torque converter
speed ratio drops to a specied threshold, this
function automatically downshifts the transmission.
However, manual upshift is still available. After a
manual upshift is made, the auto downshift is prevented
for 2 seconds. This function works in forward and
reverse gears. Auto downshift switch has no function
unless the switch functions is enabled by the
operator in Advisor.
Features
D475A-5 Torque Converter and Transmission
The D475A-5 features an automatic lockup torque
converter system. The lockup mode, when selected
by the operator, allows the system to automatically
engage the torque converter lockup clutch. Locking up
the torque converter transmits all the engine power
directly to the transmission resulting in increased
efciency. This is only when clutch is locked up.
When heavy loads are applied to the tractor the clutch
will unlock resulting in lower efciency operation.
Best productivity in dozing applications is achieved
by loading the blade to the point that ground speed
is 1.4 to 1.6 mph. This maximizes productivity by
minimizing reverse time. At these speeds it is not
uncommon to see the D475 running with an unlocked
torque converter. This reduces overall efciency
and productivity.
The Komatsu TORQFLOW transmission consists
of a water-cooled, 3-element, 1-stage, 1-phase torque
converter with lockup clutch and planetary gear sets.
The multiple-disc clutch transmission is hydraulically
actuated and force-lubricated for heat dissipation.
The D475A-5 utilizes a new power train electronic
control system. The controller registers the amount
of operator control (movements of lever and operation
of switches) along with machine condition signals
from each sensor to accurately calculate the control
of the torque converter and transmission to optimize
machine operation.
This tractor has an Electronic Controlled Modulation
Valve (ECMV) controlled transmission. This allows
for automatic adjustments of each clutch engagement
depending on travel conditions such as gear speed,
rpm, and shifting pattern. This feature is designed
to provide shockless and smooth clutch engagement;
while improving component reliability, component
life and operator ride comfort.
Features
D11T Brakes and Steering Clutches
The D11T features high capacity brakes (high power
dissipation) that are hydraulically released, spring
applied, and have computerized electronic control
for excellent brake modulation while providing
safe and reliable braking performance. Thick, large
diameter plates and disks provide high torque capacity
and service life. The brake housing has cast-in ribs
for more durability. A single pedal simultaneously
applies brakes to both tracks for fast stops.
The parking brake is electronically controlled.
The D11T features standard oil cooled, wet steering
clutches. Both the clutches and brakes are serviceable
from the side of the tractor.
D475A-5 Brakes and Steering Clutches
The D475A-5 features an Electronic Controlled
Modulation Valve (ECMV) system that provides
sensors to monitor the machine operating conditions
and electronically control the steering clutches
and wet, multi-disc brakes. Depending on the
conditions the ECMV controller adjusts every
clutch engagement automatically.
The ECMV sensors monitor application parameters
such as size of load during dozing, and incline angle
of slope and load provides smooth and easy operation
by reducing counter steering on downhill travel.
When dozing and turning, ECMV automatically
controls stroke ratio of steering clutches and brakes
depending on degree of load.
Wet steering clutches are standard on the D475A-5.
Interconnected control of steering clutch and brake
reduces the load on the transmission during forward
and reverse directional changes, resulting in the
improved durability and reduced component
maintenance cost. Serviceability of the Komatsu
torque converter, bevel gear, transmission, steering
clutches and brakes is adversely affected by the
design of the tractor. All of these components
are combined into a single unit called a power
module which is housed inside the hull style frame.
Access to these components requires the ROPS,
Cab, Platform, and fuel tank to be removed.
On the D11T/D11T CD all components mentioned
above can be removed without removal of the ROPS,
Cab, Platform, and fuel tank. Repairs should be
faster and easier on a Cat D11T/D11T CD.
Features
D11T Final Drives
The D11T features an elevated sprocket with large,
strong nal drives for durability and long service
life. Double reduction planetary gears, with tapered
roller bearings, spread torque loads for increased life.
Gears and planet carriers are sized for high loads,
while the axle and spline are larger for higher torque.
The support hub is made of a high strength casting
for increased life and is large and strong at the inboard
bearing to accommodate higher drawbar pull.
The hub spline improves fatigue life and the sprocket
bearings are designed for increased load capacity.
The elevated nal drives are protected from ground
and implement induced impact loads, extending
power train life. Open Labyrinth Seals are standard.
This seal minimizes wet material entry into the nal
drives and is ideal for mud-packing applications.
The new seal provides replaceable seal wear surfaces
and is retrotable to earlier tractor models.
Sprockets have four bolt-on, replaceable rim
segments with more bolts to resist high impact loads.
Abrasion-resistant steel increases the sprocket
segments wear life.

D475A-5 Final Drives
The D475A-5 double-reduction nal drive consists
of spur and planetary gear sets. Segmented sprocket
teeth are bolt-on for easy replacement.
The oval track design places the nal drives at
ground level exposing these components to additional
impact loads that can result in decreased life of the
nal drive components. It also allows impact loads
to be passed into the power module which could
result in a decrease in service life.

Features
D11T Undercarriage
Caterpillar developed the elevated sprocket to deliver
the benets of suspended undercarriage. This design
transfers implement shock loads to the mainframe,
so nal drives, axles, and steering components are
isolated from harsh impact loads commonly seen in
large track-type tractor applications.
The elevated sprocket also keeps nal drives and
sprocket teeth away from abrasive materials and
moisture, resulting in longer nal drive and seal life.
Because more track is located to the rear of the roller
frame, the elevated sprocket improves traction and
otation. It also counteracts front-end rise during
heavy dozing and drawbar applications.
The suspended undercarriage has a low center of
gravity and wide track gauge. When working in
uneven or rocky conditions, the bogie system keeps
more track on the ground for increased stability.
The suspended design makes tractors more stable in
rocky conditions because the track readily adjusts to
match the ground contour; the more track in contact
with the ground, the greater the machine stability.
With 4444 mm (14 ft 7 in) of track on the ground,
the D11T delivers exceptional balance.
The elevated sprocket and suspended undercarriage
work together to reduce shock loads to tractor
components, increasing traction and giving the
operator a smoother ride. These benets translate
into higher production and longer component life.
To increase strength, durability, and reliability, the
undercarriage has large idler caps and roller caps
with an abutment joint and three-bolt mounting.
Optional attachment idler guards further improve
undercarriage wear life in some applications.
These guards bridge the gap between the track roller
frame and the idler, and substantially reduce the ow
of abrasive material into the track chain. The guards
steel-reinforced rubber construction allows them to
follow the oscillation of the idler, while still being
durable for long life. Guards are recommended for
high abrasion, low impact applications.
The D11T offers optional carrier rollers, and the
base tractor is equipped with carrier roller mounts
for more exibility as job conditions change.
Previously, mounts had to be welded to the roller
frame before a carrier roller could be added.
The new, integrated mounts minimize the time
needed to recongure the tractor.
The end pin bearings in the equalizer bars benet
from remotely greased bearings to maximize service
life and eliminate daily maintenance. This design
provides impact resistance as well as a service point
that is easy to access. The center pin bearing is made
with oil-impregnated powdered metal for longer life.
The pivot shaft and pinned equalizer bar eliminate
diagonal braces, which improves ground clearance
and track oscillation, increasing traction in all
underfoot conditions.
Features
A special coating on the track bushing provides an
abrasion- and corrosion-resistant protective layer
on the end of the bushing. The coating improves
track sealability. In addition, 75W140 synthetic
oil reduces pin galling and increases seal life.
This exclusive technology reduces unscheduled
track maintenance and improves machine reliability.
The D11T features the Cat Sleeve Bearing Track that
is a patented design proven in a series of eld tests
to extend track life. Because it extends undercarriage
life, the need for service before normal bushing
turn time is also reduced which in turn reduces
maintenance costs as well as unscheduled downtime.
Sleeve Bearing Track eliminates galling between
pin and bushing, increases track re-seal point from
4,000 to 6,000 hours, and a separate post-turn track
seal provides sealability after bushing turn.
Positive pin retention prevents track link assembly
end-play generation while providing additional
benets that include preventing link movement
on pin, improved oil retention (sealability), and
consistent seal face contact on the bushing.
Changes to the geometry of the D11T master link
provides improved resistance to cracking through
a larger radius in the end serrations, increasing
service life.
Standard shoe size is 710 mm (28 in). Shoes are
available in additional sizes: 810 mm (32 in),
and 915 mm (36 in). Abrasion resistant material,
trapezoidal holes, and tall tough steel links for
highly abrasive, high wear applications are also
available as options.
The D11T elevated sprocket design provides improved
operator comfort resulting in higher productivity.
This is because when an obstacle is encountered on
the return portion of a dozing cycle by the D11T the
rst thing to encounter the obstacle is the track with
an idler supporting it. The obstacle can cause the
rear idler to experience up to 107 mm (4.2 in) of
upward travel as it oscillates. This idler movement
allows the D11T to build a ramp to smoothly climb
over and then envelop the obstacle reducing the
shock loads experienced by machine and operator.
The reduced shock loads provides an improvement
in machine life and keeps the operator comfortable
allowing them to maintain the highest level of
production possible. This is only possible with a
machine that has a fully suspended undercarriage.
Cat elevated sprocket machines are the only
Large Track-Type Tractors that can offer this capability.

D475A-5 Undercarriage
The Komatsu K-Bogie undercarriage System has the
current features:
Effective length of track on ground is consistent.
Shoe slippage is minimized therefore, high
traction is obtained.
Oscillating front idler.
K-bogies oscillate with two fulcrums, and
track roller vertical travel is greatly increased.
Because track and rollers are always in contact
with track link, impact loading to undercarriage
components is reduced and durability of
components is improved.
Features
Undercarriage life is improved due to better
control of track chain alignment with track rollers.
Vibration and shock is reduced when traveling
over rough terrain.
Standard shoe size is 710 mm (28 in). Shoes are
available in additional sizes: 810 mm (32 in) and
910 mm (36 in).
The oval track undercarriage places the nal drive
close to the ground on the D475A-5. This provides
reduced ride comfort for the operator resulting in
decreased productivity. The rst thing to reach an
obstacle during the return part of the dozing cycle
is a track supported by a rigidly mounted sprocket
attached to the nal drive. With the nal drive close
to the ground, there is no ramp for the tractor to
transition over the obstacle resulting in the tractor
jumping over the obstacle. This produces a
signicant shock load into the tractor that must be
absorbed by both machine and operator. Over the
course of a long day these shock loads add up and
can cause an operator to reduce travel speeds to
provide a better ride for improved comfort which
lowers machine productivity.
Features
Implement and Steering Controls
Reduced operator fatigue for increased performance.

D11T Dozer Control Joystick
Dozer Control Joystick A low-effort electronic
dozer control handle gives the operator control of all
dozer functions with one hand. Fore/aft movement
of the joystick lowers and raises the blade. Left/right
movement directionally tilts the blade. Blade response
and blade oat can be set/adjusted using the
Advisor Panel.
The thumb lever at the top of the handle and the
trigger switch controls blade pitch fore and aft.
The two thumb buttons to the left of the implement
control provide control over the semi-automated
blade pitch functions that Dual Tilt provides.
Blade pitch for load, carry and spread segments
can be preset on Advisor and controlled by one
button. The other button is used for the optional
Autocarry feature.
Lower-Raise Pushing joystick forward will
lower the blade. When joystick is released,
it will return to the hold position. Pulling back
on joystick will raise the blade. When joystick
is released, it will return to the hold position.
Float Pushing joystick fully forward will
move the blade control to oat. When joystick is
released, it will return to the hold position while
staying in oat function. The oat function will
be deactivated through a dozer lift command.
Tilt Pulling joystick to the left will lower the
left side of the blade. Pulling joystick to the
right will lower the right side of the blade.
Pitch Rolling the thumb lever to the left will
pitch the top of the blade towards the machine.
Rolling the thumb lever to the right will pitch
the top of the blade away from the machine.
The trigger switch will do the same.
Automated Blade Assist Controls A semi-automatic
dozer control that makes use of preset blade pitch
positions. This increases efciency while reducing
operator workload. It can be controlled with the
two thumb buttons on the dozer control or the push
button key pad.

D11T Electronic Ripper Control
Electronic Ripper Control A rigidly mounted
handgrip provides rm support for the operator even
when ripping in the roughest terrain. The low effort
thumb lever controls raising and lowering.
The nger lever controls shank-in and shank-out
positioning. The programmable Auto Stow feature
automatically raises the ripper to the full up position.
Programmable options are to full lift, full lift and
shank-in, or full lift and shank-out.
Features
Automatic Ripper Control (optional) Automatic
ripper control is a new feature that reduces operator
fatigue and decreases wear and tear on the machine.
This is done by monitoring the tractor speed with
the new cab mounted Global Navigation Satellite
System (GNSS) to automatically adjust engine
speed and ripper depth to minimize track slip.
Performance Monitor The monitoring system
collects machine data and provides real-time feedback
on machine productivity to optimize performance.

Finger Tip Controls (FTC) Clustered for easy, one-
handed operation to the operators left. They control
steering, machine direction and gear selection.
Enhanced Auto Shift (EAS) A new standard
feature for the D11T and D11T CD is Enhanced
Auto Shift (EAS). EAS improves fuel efciency by
automatically selecting the optimal reverse gear and
engine speed combination based upon power train
load and desired ground speed. This feature functions
similar to an automatic transmission when traveling
in reverse. The operator can set a desired track speed
in reverse by using the upshift and downshift buttons
while using EAS, and the machine will automatically
adjust the gear and engine speed to maintain this
desired track speed. Once the track speed is set in
automatic mode no operator intervention is needed.
Autoshift This feature boosts productivity and reduces
operator fatigue by automating the transmission
settings to best match the job conditions. Autoshift
mode enables the operator to preset a forward or
reverse gear for directional changes. When activated
with the switch on the right console, an icon on the
front instrument cluster lights up. A directional shift
to the forward position will automatically shift to
either rst or second gear, based on the operators
preference. A directional shift to the reverse position
will go to the mode set up by the operator.
Modes available are:
1. 1F Auto
2. 2F Auto
3. 1F 2R
4. 2F 2R
5. 2F 1R
6. Off Manual Mode
The top banner on the Advisor screen will show
forward gear selected on the left side, center will
show reverse gear selected or reverse speed if
EAS is active.

Features
Terrain for Grading (optional) Provides high precision
management of dozing and grading applications for
enhanced safety, productivity and efciency. The system
enables an electronic site plan to be sent to the machine
from the ofce in real-time, directing the operator
where to cut and ll. A graphical map of the design
plan and a view of the machines horizontal and vertical
position simplify operation and enhance production.
GNSS technology (centimeter-level) and in-cab
computing capabilities combine for precise grade
control. Ideal applications include roads, leach pads,
dump areas, and reclamation sites.
Autocarry (optional) Autocarry provides automatic
blade control during the carry segment of the dozing
cycle by measuring ground speed and track slip
with a robust GNSS cab mounted receiver. It will
automatically raise and lower the blade to optimize
machine productivity by maintaining a desired blade
load on the tractor. It is intended to enhance the
operators productivity in high production earthmoving
with carry distances over 30.5 m (100 ft).
D475A-5 Blade and Ripper Controls
D475A-5 Steering Control
D475A-5 Implement and Steering Controls
The D475A-5 is equipped with PCCS (Palm Command
Control System) that provides the machine control
systems. The palm command electronic controlled
travel joystick presents the operator with ne control,
but the position for the hand may be uncomfortable
to some operators for extended operating periods.
Features
Gear shifting is done with thumb push buttons and
preset travel speed selection function is standard to
enable the operator to select forward and backward
travel speed among three preset patterns and
manual shift.
The auto-shift down function provides a controller
that monitors the engine speed, travel gear, and
travel speed. When a load is applied and the machine
travel speed is reduced and the controller automatically
shifts down.
The blade control joystick has PCC (Proportional
Pressure Control) valve and a similar type joystick
as the travel control joystick. The ripper control
lever is adjustable.
Komatsu does not offer a machine control solution like
Caterpillars Enhanced Auto Shift (EAS). EAS which
is standard on the D11T and D11T CD improves fuel
efciency by automatically selecting the optimal
reverse gear and engine speed combination based
upon power train load and desired ground speed.
Features

Features
D11T Blades
The D11T offers ve types of blades; high-capacity
universal blade (U), semi-universal blade (SU),
reclamation blade, three coal blade sizes ranging from
64 m
3
(83 yd
3
) to 75 m
3
(98 yd
3
), and a Carrydozer
blade. Additionally, the standard abrasion feature of
the SU blade and U blade extend blade life in
more severe applications. Abrasion blades are equipped
with rock guards, wear plates and extended wear life
cutting edges and end bits.
All D11T blades feature a strong box-section design
that resists twisting and cracking. Blades are made of
high tensile strength steel that stands up to the most
severe applications. Heavy moldboard construction
and hardened bolt-on cutting edges and end bits add
strength and durability. Cutting edges are made of
DH-2 steel. End bits are made of DH-3 steel
to provide maximum service life in tough materials.
The standard dual tilt feature improves load control
and allows the operator to optimize the blade pitch
angle for each portion of the dozing cycle, while a
single lever controls all blade movements, including
the optional dual tilt. Standard ABA allows the blade
pitch for load, carry, and spread to be preset.
The tag-link blade mounting brings the blade closer
to the machine for excellent maneuverability, machine
balance, and blade penetration. The tag-link also
eliminates the need for diagonal bracing because
it transfers side loads to the main frame instead of
the dozer pusharms. The design has fewer parts for
reduced wear and lower maintenance costs, and it
provides solid lateral stability and better cylinder
positioning for constant pryout independent of blade
height. In addition, having the blade closer to the
front of the machine provides more precise dozing
and load control.

D475A-5 Blades
The D475A-5 has three blade options: semi-universal
dozer, universal dozer, and coal. A super (carry)
dozer option is also available. The front and sides
of the blade use high-tensile strength steel.
The standard dual tilt feature gives twice the dozer
tilt angle and tilt speed compared to a conventional
single tilt system.
Features
D11T Rippers and Counterweights
The D11T has optional single and multi-shank rippers
available. Rippers are made to penetrate tough
material fast and rip thoroughly for use in a variety
of materials. The standard ripper hydraulic lines are
Cat XT-3 ES hose for durability and reliability.
The (optional) Automatic Ripper Control is a new
feature that reduces operator fatigue and decreases
wear and tear on the machine. This is done by
monitoring the tractor speed with the new cab
mounted Global Navigation Satellite System
(GNSS) to automatically adjust engine speed
and ripper depth to minimize track slip.
Enhanced visibility to the tip is made possible
by the machines slotted fuel tank and large view
hole in the ripper frame. Increased strength and
productivity is realized from its large, one-piece
shank. Superior ripper carriage design features heat
treated spacer bars in the shank pocket for increased
shank life. And the ripper frame design is streamlined
and narrow for minimum clogging and slab retention.
The operator can adjust the single shank ripper depth
from the seat using a standard single-shank
hydraulic pin puller.
The multi-shank ripper tailors the tractor to the material
by using one, two or three shanks. Hydraulic pitch
adjustment cylinders vary the shank angle to get the
best penetration so the material is lifted and shattered.
On the standard D11T, Caterpillar offers the
following ripper options:
1. Single-shank standard ripper
2. Single-shank Carrydozer ripper
3. Multi-shank standard ripper
4. Multi-shank leach pad ripper
Standard and deep shanks are both available for
both Single-shank standard rippers and Single-shank
Carrydozer rippers on the standard D11T.
A Carrydozer ripper option is available for extreme
ripping applications or when rear machine weight

Features
Features
D11T Carrydozer (CD)
The D11T and D11T Carrydozer (CD) are highly
effective mass dozing tools that are ideally suited
to job applications requiring long push distances.
The D11T CDs higher operating weight and unique
carrydozer blade allow it to excel.
The frame has been designed to provide additional
durability and reliability due to the high loads
associated with the carry dozer application.

The Carrydozer blade has a unique bucket shape
that allows it to carry several cubic yards of material
inside the blade curvature for maximum productivity.
This acts as a counterweight that allows the
Carrydozer to push more material per pass than
a standard D11T. This also increases the effective
weight of the tractor which enables pushing a larger
pile of material in front of the blade. The carrying/
pushing effects combine to signicantly increase
productivity by up to 15%. The blade features a
strong box section made of high-strength, low-alloy
steel to resist twisting and cracking, and additional
wear plating is not necessary. Standard rock guards
and deector shields on the back of the blade help
protect lift and tilt cylinders from spillover. The blade
capacity is 43.6 m (57 yd).
The Carrydozer will not be as effective as the
U or SU dozer in tightly packed or poorly shot
material. It is also more sensitive to carry-back in
sticky materials.
The standard shoe size has been increased from
710 mm (28 in) to 915 mm (36 in).
The implement hydraulic pump has been resized
to match the larger blade pitch cylinders and longer
pitch length resulting in faster blade pitch cycle
times for the Carrydozer blade.
Heavier Carrydozer single and multi shank rippers
are available as optional attachments. When a ripper
is not used, an extended rear counter weight is
required for optimum tractor balance.
The operating weight for the Carrydozer is 112 698 kg
(248,456 lb). The operating weight includes lubricant,
coolant, full fuel tank, hydraulic controls and uids,
910 mm (36 in) extreme service shoes, 11 carry dozer,
single-shank ripper (optional equipment) and operator.

D475A-5 Super Dozer
The D475A-5 Super Dozer is based off of the
standard D475A-5. The Super Dozer provides a
large capacity super dozer blade providing lower
dozing resistance and provides 15% more production.
The blade capacity is 45 m (58.9 yd).
The fast fuel has become standard and the standard
shoe size has been increased from 710 mm (28 in)
to 810 mm (32 in).
Optional rear attachments include a single variable
giant ripper and counterweight.
The operating weight for the Super Dozer is
113 200 kg (249, 560 lb). The operating weight
includes strengthened super dozer blade,
counterweight, steel cab, ROPS, operator,
standard equipment, rated capacity of lubricant,
coolant, and full fuel tank.
Features
