The loader lifts 18.5 tonnes a bucket. The AD60 carries 60 tonnes. That is 3.2 buckets to a full truck, which lands exactly in the window CAT designed the machine for, and it is why this class of LHD works to this class of truck in hard rock mines worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth models are 1:50, so the size gap between them on your shelf is the real size gap underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAT R2900 XE Underground LHD Loader\u003c\/strong\u003e, 1:50 scale die cast, SKU 85719\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAT AD60 Articulated Underground Truck, High Line Series\u003c\/strong\u003e, 1:50 scale die cast, SKU 85516\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy these two and not any other two\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaterpillar's launch release for the R2900 XE states that the loader \"offers a 3- to 4-pass match to the Cat AD63 truck\". The AD60 is the 60 tonne machine in that same class. Three buckets and a bit, truck away, next truck in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePass matching is the whole game in load and haul. Put too small a loader on a big truck and you burn cycle time filling it. Put too big a loader on a small truck and you spill ore over the tray or send it out light. Mines specify the pair together, which is why a set like this reads as correct to anyone who has worked underground, and a mismatched pair does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe specifications behind the castings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eR2900 XE: 18.5 tonne payload, 7.4 to 9.8 cubic metre bucket range, Cat C15 engine, switched reluctance diesel electric drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAD60: 60,000 kg nominal payload\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth 1:50 scale, Diecast Masters, officially licensed by Caterpillar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombined shipping weight approximately 4.4 kg, shipped as one consignment so freight is paid once\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model arrives in its own original branded box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the two separately and you pay full price on each, plus freight on each.
