WDS Factory Option
The Cat® Water Delivery System (WDS) is an automated system with fully-integrated Cat design. It controls the amount of water and the spray patterns to prevent the hazards common with over-watering. The Cat WDS is available as a factory option for the Cat 777, 785D, and 789D WTR Off-Highway Truck Bare Chassis.
Improves Safety
- The Cat® Water Delivery System improves safety by providing variable water flow based on truck speed, preventing the hazards common with over-watering.
- With automated water delivery, the operator can remain focused on driving and traffic.
- Remote tank fill control allows the operator to stay in the cab during refilling, which reduces slip hazards.
- When the water tank is full, the auto shut-off feature prevents over-filling and also results in increased component life.
- The system features automatic start and stop, based on truck speed, which eliminates over-watering at road intersections to improve safety for all vehicles on site.
Saves Fuel
- Caterpillar tests show that the Cat® Water Delivery System's efficient pump control reduces fuel consumption by an average of 14%.
- The water cannon operates at idle, which reduces fuel consumption during cannon operation by up to 50%.
Conserves Water
- The Cat® Water Delivery System delivers a uniform spray of large water droplets for optimal gallons per square yard (liters per square meter) across the haul road.
- Caterpillar tests show that the Cat Water Delivery System can reduce water consumption by 25-50% compared to conventional water systems.
Improves Productivity
- The Cat® Water Delivery System features integrated and durable ergonomic cab controls that are both user friendly and easy to learn.
- Seven programmable automatic configurations are provided as well as intermittent spray in automatic or manual modes.
- The spray patterns are customizable to meet specific job site needs.
- And the efficient variable hydraulic pump and motor allow the truck to spend more time on the road and less time at refilling stations.
Delivers Reliability
- The Cat® Water Delivery System delivers reliability through stainless steel components and self-cleaning spray head nozzles, reducing maintenance.
- The monitor automatically displays diagnostic messages regarding water, hydraulics and electrical issues for quick resolution to keep the system running.
Provides Value
- The Cat® Water Delivery System is a premium product that offers a quick payback due to the significant savings in fuel, water, parts, and maintenance costs compared to conventional systems.
