Caterpillar to unveil new Cat® R1700 XE LHD battery electric vehicle with MEC500 Mobile Equipment Charger at MINExpo


The new Cat® R1700 XE LHD, with a 15-tonne payload and 24,190-kg lift and tilt breakout, features a battery electric design that delivers superior productivity in underground applications with the benefits of no engine heat or exhaust emissions.

It offers an 18 km/h top speed, an Autodig function optimizes loading and traction control to extend tire life. Liquid cooling allows the batteries to be cooled while the machine is put back in operation, increasing machine uptime availability.

To maximize runtime, batteries stay on the machine. Using the portable Cat MEC500 Mobile Equipment Charger, the R1700 XE can be fully charged in less than 30 minutes using a single charger or in less than 20 minutes using two chargers.

The new Cat MEC500 Mobile Equipment Charger is designed to charge quickly and safely wherever it is needed. Its 500-kW capability delivers an impressive range of 300-1,000 Volts and up to 700 Amps. The charger is built rugged meeting ISO2867 rockfall protection and IP66 rating for water and dust protection. Key components are isolation mounted against vibration or seismic activity. It is sealed against humidity with enclosed air conditioning

MINExpo 2021 attendees will get a first look at the R1700 XE and MEC500 this September in the Caterpillar Central Hall exhibit 6229.
