2 TEJB9047 Cat 5110B/5110B L Hydraulic Excavators January 2003

Overview
Cat 5110B Mass Excavator
Cat 5110B L Hydraulic Excavator

The Caterpillar 5110B/5110B L Hydraulic Excavator is designed for mining, quarrying,
heavy construction and material handling applications. Weighing 127-129 metric tons
(140-142 U.S. tons), the 5110B establishes a new size class and is ideally suited for
loading Cat 773E trucks and other 45- to 55-metric ton capacity (50- to 60-ton)
trucks in four passes. The 5110B is also capable of loading trucks with capacities as
large as 90 metric tons (100 tons), such as the Cat 777D.
The Cat 5110B Hydraulic Excavator is the newest excavator in the Cat mass excavator
line-up and offers customers a new choice in excavator size and performance. Designed
and built for superior strength and durability in the most demanding digging condi-
tions, this new machine provides higher production and better pass matches than
January 2003 TEJB9047 Cat 5110B/5110B L Hydraulic Excavators 3

Overview
competitive 100- to 110-metric ton general purpose excavators. Yet the 5110B is as
versatile and transportable as 110-metric ton machines. In North America, the 5110B
ships in six truck loads.
The 5110B will be offered in three configurations to match a range of applications.

Designed for mining and heavy construction applications, the current mass excavation
configuration is built to meet the performance, reliability and durability standards
expected of Caterpillar equipment. Mass excavator buckets range from 6.2 to 10.4 cubic
meters (8.1 to 13.6 cubic yards). The general purpose configuration is optimized for
construction, trenching and pipelaying. The material handling configuration, will be best
suited for industrial applications.
The 5110B features superior breakout and crowd forces and a long and wide
undercarriage. The combination creates a stable machine with aggressive digging
capabilities for high productivity. Proven Caterpillar components the Cat 3412E
HEUI engine and proportional priority pressure compensating hydraulics ensure
smooth performance and high reliability at a lower cost-per-ton. The electronically
controlled engine delivers the power to keep material moving at 758 gross/696 net
horsepower (565/519 kW).
The 5110B stands out from the competition in the areas of productivity, reliability,
durability, safety, transportability, customer service and versatility.
Productivity
With the largest available heavy duty rock bucket in its class, the 5110B/5110B L
swings a 15 to 25% greater payload, produces higher digging forces, and moves more
tons-per-hour than the competition. With PPPC hydraulic control, an independent
swing hydraulic circuit, and electronically controlled pumps and engine, the 5110B
can efficiently and economically apply full hydraulic power on demand.
Reliability
The 5110B/5110B L is designed to provide the customer maximum machine avail-

ability. Field proven Cat components are matched to the machine for smooth,
responsive performance and high reliability. Parts commonality with the large Cat
machine line-up ensures maximum parts availability, lower repair costs and reduced
downtime. The 5110B uses the same engine as the 773E, 990, D10R, and 24H; same
swing drives as 5130B and 5230B; same cab as 345B; same main control valve as
385, 5130B and 5230B; same track links as D10R; and same track tensioning system
as the 5130B.

Overview
Durability
The 5110B/5110B L is designed for significantly longer structural and service life
than the competition. The machine incorporates robust design features for superior
structural strength and durability. Additionally, it is designed to be economically
rebuildable, for added service life.
Versatility
With a variety of boom and stick options and wide range of work tools, the 5110B L
provides maximum versatility to accomplish a wide range of jobs.
Safety
Some 5110B/5110B L safety features include:
Ladder. Wide, stationary ladder allows the operator to mount and dismount the machine
while maintaining three points of contact at all times with steps and hand holds.
Service Access. Most routine servicing can be accomplished from ground level.
A cross walkway provides service access to all main maintenance points.
Bulk head. A bulk head wall separates the engine from the pump room, minimizing
heat exposure to the hydraulic system.
Minimally-pressurized Hydraulic Tank. Reduces oil discharge in the event of a leak.
Access Lighting. Permits 24-hour boarding and service access.
Operator Station. The front windshield is standard laminated glass; the right and
rear windows are impact resistant polycarbonate. The cab is quiet.
Walkways. Slip-resistant steel materials provide reliable access in broad range of

climatic and operating conditions.
Standards. Designed, tested and self-certified to national and international standards.
Shut Off Switches. Switches are located in the engine compartment and at ground
level for safe shutdown.
Control Lever. Hydraulic activation control lever prevents hydraulics from oper-
ation when in locked position.

Overview
Secondary Egress. Secondary or emergency egress from the cab is provided out
the rear window.
Electrical System Disconnect. Disconnect switch is located outside the battery

compartment to lock out the electrical system.
Travel Alarm. Exterior warning sounds when the travel circuit is activated.
Swing and Travel Brakes. Swing brake automatically engages when operator leaves
hydraulic controls untouched for 8 seconds. Travel brakes engage when machine
is not moving.
Transportability
Despite its greater weight, the 5110B/5110B L is transportable in the same number
of U.S. legal truck loads as the competition. Balanced lift eyes are provided on all
major structures. Hydraulic and grease lines are designed to disconnect quickly and
cleanly. The result is a machine with reduced assembly and disassembly time and
cost.
Customer Support
Caterpillar and the worldwide dealer network provide customer support that is
unmatched in the industry. Cat dealers offer a range of maintenance services to help
protect your investment. Field service, parts availability and product support is superior
to the competition, and enable customers to operate longer with lower operating costs
and less downtime.

Machine Positioning Strategy
Superior Productivity
High bucket fill factors and fast cycle times drive the 5110Bs productivity. This
machine is capable of loading 55 metric ton (60 ton) haulers in well under two
minutes, and is pass matched to the 773E Off-Highway Truck. Intelligent on-demand
hydraulics deliver quick lift and swing performance to meet that goal. Machine
stability is enhanced with a long undercarriage and wide track gauge for a 10 percent
larger footprint. High drawbar pull aids maneuverability.
Productivity is more than quick cycle times it also requires a full bucket load.
Superior breakout and crowd forces combine to provide a competitive advantage
in bucket loading. Additionally, the 5110B has a 15 to 25% larger bucket than the
competition and has demonstrated more than a 30% productivity advantage.
Reliable Performance and Durability
The 5110B/5110B L is designed to meet the reliability and durability expectations of

Cat customers. With a greater operating weight and superior structural design features,
the 5110B provides reliable performance and durability well beyond the competition.
Structures are validated using computer Finite Element Analysis and are double-
checked by strain gauge testing in the field.
The 5110B incorporates many design features for superior structural strength and
long life, including:
Cross roller swing bearing. Mining-duty bearing provides stiffer design with greater
contact area than competitive ball bearing designs.
Swing bearing mounting. Bolted directly to machined surface on carbody to

eliminate welds in critical stress area.
Surface tension transfer welding. Enhanced weld geometry process eliminates

need for back bars in confined weld areas and improves reliability.
Castings. Heat-treated castings in high load areas of frame, stick and boom,
ensure smooth transition of stresses into structures.
Thermal stress relieving. Stress relieved boom, stick and carbody weldments
reduce residual stresses and provide longer structural life.
Break-in coatings. Manganese-iron-phosphate coated bushings provide initial

lubrication for trouble-free startup.

The 5110B is designed for superior performance in extreme temperatures. Hydraulic

cooling system with extra large cooling capacity meets ambient temperature rating of
50C (122F), while optional high ambient cooling raises this rating to 55C (131F).
The 5110B cooling system is quiet and meets 1999 European sound regulations.
Electronic Monitoring System III (EMS III) alerts the operator to conditions in
critical systems throughout the machine, so potential problems are caught and
corrected early, preventing costly downtime. EMS II also improves reliability by
notifying the operator of potential problems before catastrophic failure occurs.
Compared with competitive machines in this size class, the 5110B is 15 to 20% larger
by operating weight. However, when comparing smart weight (i.e. components,
structural steel and drive system) after removing dumb weight (i.e. counterweight
and fluids), customers actually get 20 to 30% more working machine. This relates
directly to strength, durability and production.
Low Operating Cost
The 3412E Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injection (HEUI) engine offers the most
efficient fuel injection system available today. Injection, timing, duration, and pressure
are optimized continuously, based on sensor input for RPM, air pressure, temperature,
etc. Solid state electronics eliminate repair costs associated with mechanical injection.
Engine history is stored in memory to allow service personnel to monitor engine
performance and diagnose preventative repairs.
Implement and travel circuits conserve fuel by using a closed-center, load sensing
hydraulic system. The system delivers oil flow according to demand instead of
circulating oil flow continuously, and needlessly consuming fuel. The independent
hydraulic cooling system has variable speed capability, with fan rotation speed
determined by input from temperature sensors, and draws only the power required by
current conditions. Automatic Engine Speed Control automatically reduces engine
RPM when controls are left untouched for four seconds.
The fuel tank holds enough fuel for two shifts at an average load factor, maximizing
machine availability. Optional automatic lubrication reduces manual maintenance
required every ten hours. Walk-around access to the engine and pumps makes routine
visual checks easy.
The undercarriage, with sealed and greased track, is lifetime lubricated and automat-
ically tensioned for maintenance-free duty.

Smooth Handling, Efficient Hydraulics
Technology advanced hydraulics allow the Cat 5110B/5110B L to respond to

operator actions with predictable, smooth operation.
Cat pressure-compensating valves regulate flow to the actuators in the implement

circuit, delivering only as much flow as the operator requests, even when other
functions in the circuit are receiving higher flow. Intelligent hydraulics deliver oil to
all desired circuits without having to modulate some of the other circuits.
Proportional priority enables every circuit to receive the amount of flow determined
by the operator control setting during normal operation. When demand exceeds
system capacity, such as during simultaneous travel and linkage operations, flow is
divided proportionally between the circuits according to demand.
Electronic underspeed control prevents excess engine lugging. This electronic

protection makes it unnecessary to maintain a reserve of engine power, maximizing
fuel efficiency.
The Cat 5110B hydraulic system consists of durable, proven components, including
Cat XT hose and couplings. A dedicated piston pump drives the independent swing
circuit for fast, consistent cycle performance.
An optional auxiliary valve with control arrangement allows the 5110B to operate
high pressure tools such as thumbs, hammers, shears and crushers.

Competitive Situation
The 5110Bs three primary mass excavator competitors in the 80- to 140-metric ton
(90- to 150-ton) class are the Komatsu PC1250SP-7, Hitachi EX1200-5 BE, and
Liebherr 984C. Komatsu and Hitachi compete worldwide. Liebherrs efforts are
focused primarily in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

*Operating weight less fluids and counterweight
A brief review of specs reveals that the 5110B is larger than the Komatsu machine
most significantly almost 20% larger in smart weight and with a nearly 15% larger
bucket. This relates to a weight-to-capacity ratio of about 13.7 metric tons/m3 for the
Komatsu, slightly lighter-duty than the 14.2 metric tons/m3 for the 5110B. The
PC1250 uses an electronic open centered hydraulic system and does not have an
independent swing circuit, further effecting productivity. Therefore, the Komatsu
requires the use of manual mode selection switches to set hydraulic priorities.
Additionally, the Komatsu swing function suffers loss of hydraulic flow when the
other functions are operating. With 6% less power, 11% less hydraulic flow, and
2% less hydraulic relief, the PC1250 generates 17% less bucket force than the 5110B,
all of which adds up to a noticeable difference in production.
Much like the 5110B, the PC1250 uses a cross walkway for engine access, however
access is limited to one side only. The side-by-side engine/hydraulic cooling system
on the Komatsu is not as efficient as the independent system used on the 5110B.
Additionally, the pump room is accessible only from one point (the end) and is
mounted rather low, both of which result in a poor working space. Despite recent
improvements, the bulkhead separating the pump room from the engine still provides
the poorest protection of all the competitors. Neither the engine nor the pump room
have covered or lighted access.

The Komatsu PC1250 is a relatively new machine released mid 2002, and is an
enhanced version of the PC1100. Although many improvements have been added
such as increased horsepower, hydraulic flow and additional weight, the PC1250 still
does not match up to the 5110B.
Structurally, the top plate of the carbody is not a single plate design like the 5110B.
The PC1250 plate is cut and welded to accommodate the swing bearing mounting
ring, unlike the single solid top plate of the 5110B that has better structural integrity.
Cat 5110B vs. Hitachi EX1200-5 BE
Weight Class Caterpillar Hitachi Cat

100+ Ton 5110B EX 1200-5 BE Advantage
Payload tonne (ton) 13.7 (15.1) 10.1 (11.1) +36
Dump Height m (ft) 8.6 (28.2) 8.0 (26.3) +7
Reach @ Ground Level m (ft) 13.5 (44.3) 13.4 (43.9) +1
Drawbar Pull kN (kip) 846 (190) 617.8 (139) +37
Footprint m2 (ft2) 26.2 (282) 23.1 (249) +14
As with the other competitive machines, the 5110B is larger than the EX1200. With
22% more smart weight and a 36% larger bucket, the 5110B out classes Hitachi.
Further affecting productivity, the EX1200 uses an open-centered hydraulic system
and does not have an independent swing circuit. Therefore, it requires the use of
manual mode selection switches to set hydraulic priorities. Additionally, the swing
function suffers loss of hydraulic flow when the other functions are operating. With
13% less gross engine power (8% less net), 21% less hydraulic flow, and 2% less
hydraulic relief, the EX1200 generates 7% less bucket force than the 5110B. Hydraulic
flow and power is significantly less than the 5110B, resulting in much slower speeds.
A production study showed that the 5110B is about 30% more productive than the
Hitachi machine.
The EX1200 uses a cross walkway engine access much like the 5110B, however
engine access is limited to one side only. Engine access is a step below deck cavity,
which further limits workspace. The side-by-side engine/hydraulic cooling system is
not as efficient as the independent system used on the 5110B. The pump room is
accessible only from one side (the end) and is at the end of the walkway, limiting
crane access and working space. Additionally, neither the engine nor the pump room

Cat 5110B vs. Liebherr R984C

Hydraulic Flow L/min (gpm) 1800 (476) 1819 (481) 1
Dump Height m (ft) 8.6 (28.2) 9.2 (30.0) 6

Drawbar Pull kN (kip) 846 (190) 867 (195) 2
Footprint m2 (ft2) 26.2 (282) 23.2 (250) +13
As with the other competitors the 5110B is larger than the Liebherr. With 22% more
smart weight and a 13% larger bucket, the 5110B out-classes this competitor. Of
the three competitors, the 984C has the largest operating weight at 111.1 metric tons,
however 17% of that weight is the 19-metric ton counterweight. As a result, the 984C
has about the same smart weight as the Hitachi EX1200. The 984C has a similar
smart weight-to-capacity ratio of relatively light 13.3 metric tons/m3, significantly
less than the 5110Bs 14.2 metric tons/m3.
The 984C does not have a crosswalk, which hampers access for inspection and
maintenance. It uses a tandem hydraulic and engine cooling system that is much less
efficient than the independent system on the 5110B. The 984C only has a single
swing drive, which concentrates all of the swing forces to one point on the swing gear
and causes most of the wear on the front half of the swing gear. The top plate of the
carbody is not a single plate design like the 5110B. The 984C plate is cut and welded
to accommodate the swing bearing mounting ring, unlike the single solid top plate of
the 5110B that has better structural integrity.
The 984C uses a hydraulic system with similar power and flow characteristics to the
5110B, despite this, the 984C only produces stick and bucket forces about equal to
the EX1200, giving the 5110B a 7% bucket and 10% stick force advantage. Addition-
ally, the 5110B has a 21% advantage in swing torque. All of these factors combined
give the 5110B a significant production advantage.

The 5110B Ls three primary mass excavator competitors in the 80- to 140-metric
ton (90- to 150-ton) class are the Komatsu PC1250LC-7, Hitachi EX1200-5 BE and
Liebherr 984C. Komatsu and Hitachi compete worldwide. Liebherrs efforts are
focused primarily in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

A brief review of specs reveals that the 5110B L is larger than the Komatsu machine
most significantly almost 15% larger in smart weight and with a 20% larger bucket.
The weight-to-capacity ratio of both machines is equal, calculating to be between 18 to
20 metric tons/m3. The PC1250 uses an electronic open centered hydraulic system
and much like its predecessor, the PC1100, the PC1250 does not have an independent
swing circuit. The Komatsu requires the use of a manual mode selection switch to set
hydraulic priorities. Additionally, the Komatsu swing function suffers loss of hydraulic
flow when other functions are operating. Both the 5110B L and the PC1250 offer the
heavy lift mode option, which enhances lift capability by approximately 10%. With
6% less power and 11% less hydraulic flow, the PC1250 generates 25% less bucket force
and 20% less crowd force than the 5110B L, all of which adds up to a noticeable
difference in production capability.
Much like the 5110B L, the PC1250 uses a cross walkway for engine access,
however access is limited to one side only. The side-by-side engine/hydraulic cooling
system on the Komatsu is not as efficient as the independent system used on the
5110B L. Additionally, the pump room is accessible only from one point (the end)
and is mounted rather low, both of which results in a poor working space. Despite
recent improvements, the bulkhead separating the pump room from the engine still
provides the poorest protection of all the competitors. Neither the engine nor the
pump room have covered or lighted access.

The Komatsu PC1250LC is a relatively new machine, released mid 2002, and is an
enhanced version of the PC1100. Although many improvements have been added,
such as increased horsepower, hydraulic flow and vehicle weight, the PC1250LC still
does not match up to the 5110B L.
Structurally, the top plate of the carbody is not a single plate design like the 5110B L.
The PC1250 plate is cut and welded to accommodate the swing bearing mounting
ring, unlike the single solid top plate of the 5110B L that has better structural integrity.

As with the other competitive machines, the 5110B L is larger than the EX1200.
With 20% more smart weight and a 50% larger bucket, the 5110B L outclasses the
Hitachi. Further affecting productivity, the EX1200 uses an open-centered hydraulic
system and does not have an independent swing circuit. Therefore, it requires the use
of manual mode selection switches to set hydraulic priorities. Additionally, the swing
function suffers loss of hydraulic flow when the other functions are operating. With
8% less net engine power, and 21% percent less hydraulic flow, the EX1200 generates
15% less bucket force than the 5110B L. Hydraulic flow and power is significantly
less than the 5110B L, resulting is much slower speeds. A production study showed that
the 5110B L is significantly more productive than the Hitachi machine.
The EX1200 uses a cross walkway engine access much like the 5110B L, however
engine access is limited to one side only. Engine access is a step below deck cavity,
which further limits workspace. The side-by-side engine/hydraulic cooling system is
not as efficient as the independent system used on the 5110B L. The pump room is
accessible only from one side (the end) and is at the end of the walkway, limiting
crane access and working space. Additionally, neither the engine nor the pump room

As with other competitors the 5110B L is larger than the Liebherr. With 20% more
smart weight and a 28% percent larger bucket, the 5110B L out-classes this competitor.
As a result, the 984C has a similar smart weight-to-capacity ratio of relatively light
18.9 metric tons/m3, significantly less than the 5110B Ls 21.8 metric tons/m3. Of the
three competitors, the 984C has the largest operating weight at 114 metric tons,
however 16% of that weight is the 19-metric ton counterweight.
The 984C does not have a crosswalk, which hampers access for inspection and
maintenance. It uses a tandem hydraulic and engine cooling system that is much less
efficient that the independent system on the 5110B L. The 984C only has a single
swing drive, which concentrates all of the swing forces to one point on the swing gear
and causes most of the wear on the front half of the swing gear. The top plate of the
carbody is not a single plate design like the 5110B L. The 984C plate is cut and
welded to accommodate the swing bearing mounting ring, unlike the single solid top
plate of the 5110B L that has better structural integrity.
