Features that assure the Generation 2 Loaderis the right machine for the mine1236457891. BucketsAll P&H LeTourneau-Series buckets are SAE rated, whichmeans that the rated capacity and payload of the bucketcan be achieved in accordance to SAE standards. Not allmanufacturers follow this standard. The Generation 2 wheelloaders offer a wide variety of bucket sizes, types: (coal, rockor combo), lip configurations and GET options. This providesus with the ability to optimize a bucket to match your fleetfor maximum production.2. Frame and Lift ArmsThe frame structures are fabricated from high-strength,low-alloy steel with excellent weld characteristics and lowtemperature properties throughout. High strength castingsare used in key areas of fabricated structures to reducestress and improve structural life. The front axle is an integral,fixed part of the frame. The rear pivoting axle is designed tooscillate eleven degrees (11.0, 12.50 on the L-2350). Theindependent power module mounting system is cradled withinthe rear frame by a three-point isolation system.3. KLENZ Air Filtration SystemKLENZ – the world’s most efficient and money-saving airfiltration system in the wheel loader industry. This uniqueair filtration system cleanses, at 99.9% efficiency, all air tothe engine, drive system and operators cab down to 0.3micron particulates; resulting in extended time betweenfilter replacement up to 15 times longer than conventionalfiltration systems.4. Switched Reluctance(SR) Drive SystemThe SR Drive System is featured on all Generation 2 wheelloaders with independent wheel speed control at allfour positions.Simple and reliable motors/generators that areextremely efficient and maintenance free. No brushes, nocommutators, no copper windings on the rotor and no wear.5. Ball & Socket JointsFor over 60 years P&H LeTourneau-Series wheel loaders havesuccessfully utilized Ball and Socket joints for the FrameArticulation joints, Lift Arms attachment, Lower HoistCylinder support and Rear Axle oscillation pivot points. Thislong life and low maintenance attachment system is usedexclusively on all LeTourneau-Series wheel loaders to absorband distribute multidirectional stresses significantly betterthan traditional, higher maintenance, pin and clevis systems.6. LINCS II Digital ControlsThis new and exclusive control and monitoring systemprovides the operator with simple, highly responsive andsemi-automated control interface, facilitating the highestproductivity with low operator fatigue. It manages all machinesystems, including hydraulics, electrics, pneumatics, drivesystem and engine. LINCS II features a centrally locatedprocess automation controller that controls machine input/output directly or via CAN based network control. Variouslevels of entry into LINCS II are governed by a security keyappropriate to job function.Maintenance personnel are also provided with an interactiveoff-line tool that provides unparalleled machine downloadsfor diagnostics.7. P&H LeTourneau-Series DieselElectric Drive Constant RPMIn addition to assured longer engine life and reduced fuelconsumption; operating the engine at constant RPM alsofavorably impacts performance of the hydraulic pumps, whichare directly driven at engine speed. Constant RPM alwaysassures that full hydraulic flow is instantly available upondemand. Varying engine RPM on mechanical drive machinesalso negatively impacts the response of the hydraulic system.When the engine is operating at speeds less that the ratedRPM, the pump will be rotating slower and thus reducing theflow to the hydraulic system. This detrimentally affects theoptimum hoist and steering response time.8. Power RegenerationA typical wheel loader loading cycle is ideal for lending itselfto capitalizing on capturing regenerative power because ofthe slow speed operation with multiple braking occurrencesduring each loading cycle. Only electric drive affords itself topower regeneration and the Generation 2, SR drive, allows forone-hundred percent (100%) capture and utilization of allbraking energy during the loading cycle.9. BrakingFull Primary Braking is accomplished through the SR tractionmotor’s dynamic/regenerative braking system, which bringsthe loader to a complete stop without the requirement ofsecondary, air modulated traction motor speed disc brakes.The parking brake system is spring applied and air releasetraction motor speed disc brakes.8 | Joy Global | Generation 2 Wheel Loader Product Overview
Operator Comfort:Joy Global knows the importanceof the human element.We understand that a high level of operator comfort equals higher productivity.We demonstrate this dedication to ease of operation through a series of thoughtfulergonomically designed cabin features in every Generation 2 loader.The cab design features a 2-door ingress and egress, with a simplified dashlayout that includes a readily visible and easily readable LCD screen (even in thebrightest sunlight). The cab also features significant increases in Heating and AirConditioning capabilities for even greater comfort. P&H LeTourneau-Series wheelloaders are the operator’s choice when it comes to comfort and productivity.Elastomer-mounted,fully insulated enclosureGeneration 2 operator cabs areindependently elastomer-mountedto the frame, isolating the operator fromvibration and noise transmission. Theinsulated cabs provide temperatureprotection and additional sounddampening. All Generation 2 loaders meetor exceed the ISO and SAE standards forinterior sound levels.Eleven-way adjustableair ride seatA generously appointed, adjustableair suspension seat meets individualpreferences with eleven-wayadjustability. It is designed tocomfortably accommodate theoperator and incorporates a four pointretractable lap belt with shoulderharness assembly. Engineered formaximum shock absorption, thisdesign offers the operator fine-tuning oflumbar support, cushion angle, fore-aftpositioning, and more.Clearest forwardand rear visibilityGeneration 2 loaders also offerunmatched visibility for operators, fromthe tapered rear hood to the parabolicrearview mirrors and optional rear viewvideo camera. Exceptional visibility allowsthe operator to comfortably attack theloading face and approach the haul truckwith speed, accuracy and consistencywith an increased measure of safetyMaximized air flow throughoutThe cab’s superior, strategically placedventilation system provides ten (10)outlets from which a steady supply ofdouble filtered air flows. The cab receivespressurized filtered air from the KLENZsystem, which then passes through a finalcab-mounted air filter. The pressurizationis designed to keep particulates out evenunder the dustiest conditions.Automated climate controlFactory-fitted combination air-conditioningand heating system maintains interior cabcomfort under the harshest conditions.The Generation 2 operator’s cab utilizesa FOPS mounted condenser with theremainder of the unit in the cab for easeof maintenance and accessibility.Effortless joystick steering andbucket controlPerhaps most impressive is theGeneration 2 advanced joystick controlsystem featuring non-contact, halleffecttechnology that provides long life.Ergonomically designed, the joysticksprovide simple, effortless operation ofall loading, directional and steeringfunctions throughout the work day.Generation 2 Wheel Loader Product Overview | Joy Global | 9
