Caterpillar describes the R1700 as "a perfect 3-pass match with the Cat AD45 underground truck". Their words, not ours.

The R1700 is a true 15 tonne loader. The AD45 carries 45,000 kg. Three buckets fills the tray exactly, with no part pass and nothing tipped over the side. It is the most common Cat load and haul combination in mid-size hard rock mines anywhere in the world, and the two machines were specified against each other from the start.

Both models are 1:50, so they stand together at the right relative size.

What you get

  • CAT R1700 Underground LHD Loader, Core Classic Edition, 1:50 scale die cast, SKU 85140C
  • CAT AD45 Underground Articulated Truck, 1:50 scale die cast, SKU 85717

Why these two and not any other two

Pass matching is the whole game in load and haul. Three passes is the number mine planners want: fewer and the loader is oversized and spilling ore, more and the truck sits at the bay burning cycle time. Fifteen tonnes times three is forty five tonnes, which is the AD45 to the kilogram. That is not a coincidence, it is how Caterpillar sized the pair.

Put a mismatched loader and truck on a shelf and anyone who has worked underground will notice. Put this pair on a shelf and it reads as a real heading.

The specifications behind the castings

  • R1700: 15,000 kg payload, 5.7 to 8.6 cubic metre bucket range
  • AD45: 45,000 kg nominal payload
  • Both 1:50 scale, Diecast Masters, officially licensed by Caterpillar
  • Combined shipping weight approximately 4.4 kg, shipped as one consignment so freight is paid once
  • Each model arrives in its own original branded box

Buy the two separately and you pay full price on each, plus freight on each. Buy the matched set and the saving is the strikethrough above.
