CAT G.E.T. SOLUTIONS FOR
HYDRAULIC MINING SHOVELS
100-1,000 TON

1CL-1 FOR HYDRAULIC MINING SHOVELS
400 to 1,000 Ton
MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY THE MOMENT YOU HIT THE GROUND.
Caterpillar offers two styles of G.E.T. systems for CL-1. A performance system focused on increasing
productivity, rates of penetration, and bucket fill. The other being an extended wear life system focusedon maintaining the benefits of the performance system, but for use in hard rock applications and highabrasion areas.

2HIGH PERFORMANCEHigh performance, high productivity and quickchange out times.

MAXIMUM LIP
PROTECTION

Maximum lip protection, due to the tapered shroud
design.

MINIMIZED LIP
REPAIR

Minimized lip repair thanks to our nose geometry
and shroud stabilization.

CL-1 LIP AND SYSTEM DESIGN

CL-1 cast lips are designed foruse with CL-1 G.E.T systems. It is
designed to be highly productive witha lowest cost per ton target. CL-1 lips
are light weight which result in faster
cycle times, improved RSL, and higher
capacity bucket.

» Less energy required to penetrateand fill the bucket» Stronger lip resulting in less ﬂex» Less maintenance of cast lip due topositive retention» Optimized Spade Angle Shrouds
reduce normal material forces on theshroud faces» Contoured shroud is recessed intothe lip» 4300, 5100, 5600 mm widths» 5 nose sizes to match application3

CL-1 COUPLERS
All CL-1 couplers secure to the CL-1 nose base with a hammerless retainer that pulls the coupler
tight. Coupler pocket has dual load bearing surfaces to minimize nose stress and wear.
PERFORMANCE COUPLER» Minimize nose wear - Coupler pocket evenly distributes load on nose base to reduce stress.
» Durable tip life - Concave fit tooth and coupler transfers load into larger components.

EXTENDED WEAR LIFE COUPLER» Decreases maintenance time
- Increase in wear material reduces number of times for change outs
» Maintain Penetration and Material Flow
- Material added to top of coupler to create a uniform profile» Decreases wear on retention- Added material around retention system

Overlay comparison of EWL to Intermediate Coupler» Weight of the coupler has» increased which translate to 		additional wear material» On Avg. by 23%4CL-1 TIP OPTIONSThe CL-1 tip design improves penetration, resulting in more efficient bucket fill. The retainer lock is built into
each tip, simplifying installation. Our hammerless pull ring retention (PRR) secures the tip with the retainerlock. One turn with a common square drive will unlock the tip. Tip stabilizer legs contact coupler before pin todeﬂect operating load.

PENETRATION
The penetration tip provides excellent penetration
for moderate impact and abrasion applications.

ABRASION
Typically used in high abrasion applications where
aggressive penetration is needed. This tip has 8%
more wear material than the CL-P tip.

PANEL
The panel tip provides good all around penetration
and abrasion resistance in standard applications.

PERFORMANCE
The precision tip provides excellent productivity,
it works best in moderate impact and abrasion
applications.

HEAVY DUTY PENETRATIONThe HD penetration tip provides the highest levelof penetration in high impact and abrasion
applications.

EXTENDED WEAR LIFEThe EWL tip provides the same excellent
productivity as the precision tip but is for use inhard rock and extremely abrasive miningapplications.
5CL-1 BOX POINT TIPS
Cat box point tips are designed to act as both a tip and coupler for your CL-1 lip. The box point tips require fewerchange outs compared to traditional tips; therefore, reducing the maintenance cost of your G.E.T.

PANEL BOX POINT
The panel box point tip provides good overall penetration and abrasion
resistance in moderate impact and abrasion applications.

PENETRATION BOX TIP
The penetration tip provides excellent penetration for moderate impactand abrasion applications.

6The Pull Ring draws the tapered pin into the retainer until
it locks into pin channel. Spiral pin head pulls pin out ofpin indentation. Dust plug shortens clean out time.

COUPLER RETENTION SYSTEM» Safety Focus— Hammerless Retention» Minimize nose wear—Balanced Positive uptake» No Special Tooling—Square Hex Drive
CL-1 couple retention can serviced as one assemblyor a service kit.
Retainer pulls coupler onto nose base and inward,
reducing side movement.
Retainer locking cap reduces primary torque screw
movement during operation. Dust plug reduces
cleanout time during service.
