Even in Teck Coal’s demanding, high-production application, the powerful and efficient powertrain ensures the material is moved at a lower cost per ton. The milestone D11T is equipped with a Cat C32 engine, producing 850 hp and capable of moving up to 900 loose cubic meters of material per hour. Teck’s newest D11T will be used for production dozing, dump area support, mining shovel support and haul road development. The world’s second-largest seaborne exporter of steelmaking coal, Teck currently operates significant numbers of Cat dozers, each of which logs up to 7,000 operating hours annually in the mines. “We are honored to celebrate this achievement with Teck, and we are grateful that their Elk Valley mines have counted on Caterpillar, Cat equipment and their dealer, Finning Canada, to help them reach their production goals since 1992.” “This milestone is important, not just because of the sheer number of Cat machines sold, but also because it represents the many long-lasting and mutually beneficial business relationships established with customers like Teck,” Hepler said. D11T, will operate in the Elk Valley Region near Sparwood, British Columbia, where the company produces steelmaking coal at five mining operations. For more than 10 years, Teck has been one of the top customers in the world for Cat large dozers.
