D475A-5 New Crawler Dozer

Genuine Answers for Land & Environment Optimization

 Background & Purpose of Development
Background of Development
Current model is productive against D11R. But recently environment &
operator comfort have become important factor in market.
So D475A-5 needs advantage in environment & operator by model change.

Purpose of Development
Differentiation in environment & operator comfort.
(1) Extreme low noise
(2) Operator comfort
Reduce R&M cost

 SOUND ABSORBING BLADE
 The sound absorbing blades are installed in front
of the cooling fan to directly absorb the noise
coming out of the fan.
 SIDE COVER WITH AIR DUCT
 The side cover has the inlet air duct lined with
sound absorbing material to cut the noise
radiated through the air inlets for the radiator.
With this duct, air supplied to the radiator is not
heated by the engine and the engine noise is not
directly released.
All the air inlets are installed to the front side so
that the noise level near the operator will be Absorbing blade
further reduced.

 DOUBLE HOOD
 The double hood prevents the engine noise from going out through
its top. It is made similar to the side cover so that the air supplied
through the sides to the radiator will not be heated by the engine.
Since the hood top has additional sound absorbing capacity, less
noise enters the cab through the front window, thus the inside of
the cab is kept extremely quiet.

Cab glass Window glass & Rear glass : 5 mm (Option: 10 mm)
 Thickness of the door glass is increased from 5mm (0.2'') to 10 mm
(0.4'') to reduce the noise which enters the cab through the door glass.
Floor frame
 The floor of the floor frame is doubled to reduce the noise of the power
train, etc. which enters the cab through the floor.

Cab
 Quietness in the cab is increased by increasing the pressurization,
improving the interior materials, and increasing the glass thickness.

Cab materials
 The cab headliner is given porosity and sound absorbing
performance by changing the forming method of the ceiling material.

Air conditioner
 The indoor unit of the air
conditioner is moved from inside
of the dashboard to rear of the
operator's seat. Accordingly,
there are no inlets and outlets of
the air conditioner hoses behind
the dashboard and the engine
compartment is isolated from the
operator's area. In addition, the
fresh air inlet is moved from the
engine compartment to above D475A-5
the fender to reduce the noise
which may enter through the air
inlet.

• Preset Travel Speed Selection Function
– Three preset patterns: F1-R1, F1-R2, F2-R2
– Moving joystick forward/rearward selects speed automatically F1,R2
– Reduces cycle time & fatigue

・ Auto-shift Down Function

– Controller monitors engine speed, travel gear, travel speed
– When load applied & speed reduced, automatically shifts down to
optimum gear speed to achieve more effective fuel consumption
– Comfortable operation and highly efficient production

＊ The auto-shift down function does not work when the brake pedal is used.
