Cat 814 specifications

Classification: Cat wheel-dozer identification.

The 814's blade weight is separate from machine weight

Cat identifies this C7.1-powered 814 as a wheel dozer. Its blade schedule separates attachment weight from total operating weight, and the straight and coal blades have different equipped-machine totals. The blade-only entry cannot serve as the transport weight of the entire dozer.

Use the row for the fitted blade and the applicable emissions configuration when identifying the published operating condition.

The two engine configurations also explain apparently conflicting torque entries. The Tier 4 Final/Stage V schedule and the Brazil MAR-1 configuration have separate peak-torque and torque-rise figures. Cooling-system refill quantities differ as well.

Those are configuration differences within the manufacturer's schedule; combining the larger torque figure with the other configuration's refill column would produce an unsupported specification.

Keep the steering and blade hydraulic schedules separate. Cat specifies a lift/tilt circuit and a steering circuit with their own pump output and relief setting. The hydraulic tank-only refill also differs from the complete implement/steering system capacity.

A tank figure does not include every hydraulic compartment simply because both entries describe the same machine.

Inspect the control arrangement and push-beam structure

The 814 product brochure describes STIC as a combined steering, direction and gear-selection control. It works with a planetary powershift transmission and its APECS shift-control system. Distinguish a steering complaint from a gear-selection complaint when describing an operating problem, even though the commands share a lever.

Engine Idle Shutdown and Auto Idle Kickdown are separately named engine-management functions, so an idle-speed change alone does not identify a transmission fault.

Cat also describes a push beam extending across the frame width to distribute corner-dozing stresses. Inspecting the blade alone misses that structural connection. The brochure's service layout groups daily checks near ground or platform level and provides swing-out engine-compartment doors.

Sight gauges and ecology drains serve different purposes: the gauges allow a visual level check, while the drains control fluid removal. The coal blade's wider, higher-capacity arrangement is intended for lighter material; its extra volume should not be read as an equal increase in dense-earth payload.

Short answer

The C7.1-powered Cat 814 is a wheel dozer. Cat lists a 48,526 lb operating weight for the Tier 4 Final/Stage V configuration, with 249 hp net engine power. The straight-blade attachment weight is a separate quantity.

Match the emissions and fitted-blade columns before using these specifications.
