Caterpillar: Electric Vehicle Mining Equipment Cases
Challenge
Caterpillar is transitioning to electric mining equipment with the Cat 793F battery-electric prototype. They need cases for high-voltage battery components, charging infrastructure, and electric drive systems transported to mining sites. Cases must: (1) meet UN 38.3 + IEC 62619 + MSHA standards, (2) survive mining site conditions, (3) protect $300,000+ battery systems, (4) integrate with Cat supply chain, (5) be reusable 500+ cycles.
Solution
KeXinMaterials provided EV battery cases with: (1) UN 38.3 + IEC 62619 + MSHA + IP67 compliance, (2) PP copolymer with anti-static and insulating properties, (3) custom foam for Cat 793F battery modules, charging stations, electric drive components, (4) serialized QR + Cat supply chain, (5) 500+ cycle rating. Custom foam for CATL battery cells, ABB charging stations, Siemens eDrives.
Result
1,500 cases deployed across 45+ mining sites. 18 months zero battery damage. 100% UN 38.3 + IEC 62619 compliance. Caterpillar standardized KeXinMaterials as a qualified EV mining case vendor.
Client Testimonial
Caterpillar's transition to electric mining equipment requires safe battery transport to harsh mining sites. KeXinMaterials cases have proven UN 38.3 and IEC 62619 compliance across our global Cat 793F deployment. The 500+ cycle reusability supports our ESG goals. They're our standard EV mining case. — Caterpillar Electric Vehicle Operations Director
