Operator Station
The 140M features a revolutionary cab design that provides unmatched comfort, visibility
and ease of use, making the operator more confident and productive.
Advanced Joystick Controls. Two electrohydraulic joysticks reduce hand and wrist
movement as much as 78% compared to
conventional lever controls for greatly
enhanced operator efficiency. The intuitive
pattern is easy to learn and provides the
precise implement control you expect
from Caterpillar.
Auxiliary Pod and Ripper Control.
The optional ripper control and auxiliary
control pod are ergonomically positioned
to allow simple, comfortable operation
for the multiple hydraulic options.
Visibility. The 140M boasts excellent
visibility to the work area, made possible
with angled cab doors, a tapered engine
enclosure and a patented sloped rear
window.
Cat Comfort Series Seat. The Cat
Comfort Series suspension seat has an
ergonomic high-back design, with extra
thick contoured cushions and infinitely
adjustable lumbar support that evenly
distributes the operators weight.
Multiple seat controls and armrests
are easy to adjust for optimal support
and comfort all day. The optional air
suspension seat enhances ride quality
for additional comfort.

Articulation Return-to-Center.
This exclusive feature automatically
returns the machine to a straight frame
position from any articulation angle
with the touch of a single button.
Return-to-Center helps improve
productivity and safety by allowing
the operator to focus on controlling
the moldboard.
Power Train
Integrated, electronically controlled systems, deliver smooth reliable performance
with reduced operating costs.

Engine
The 140M combines power management with ACERT Technology to deliver maximum
power and efficiency while reducing the environmental impact.
Power Management. The 140M Power
Management System automatically
delivers an additional five horsepower
in each forward gear 1st through 4th,
and each reverse gear 1st through 3rd.
This standard feature optimizes rimpull
for all gears by balancing traction, speed
and horsepower while conserving fuel.
The system limits horsepower in lower
gears, which helps reduce wheel slip
where traction is limited. With the
Variable Horsepower Plus (VHP Plus)
option, an additional five-horsepower
is delivered in each forward gear 5th
through 8th for more power at
higher speeds.
12
Hydraulics
The 140M electro-hydraulics enable advanced machine controls with precise and
predictable movements.
Consistent and Predictable Movement.
PPPC valves have different flow rates
for the head (red) and rod ends (blue)
of the cylinder. This ensures consistent
extension and retraction speeds for
each cylinder, and gives the operator
a consistent and predictable response
every time an implement control
is moved.
Balanced Flow. Hydraulic flow is
proportioned to ensure all implements
operate simultaneously with little effect
on the engine or implement speeds.
If demand exceeds pump capacity, all
cylinder velocities are reduced by the
same ratio. The result is improved
productivity in all applications.
Predicable movements

Drop-Down Rear Lights. Optional dropdown lights fold out from the rear of the
machine. This creates a wider, lower
profile to be better aligned with
passenger cars.
Rearview Camera. Visibility is further
enhanced with an optional Work Area
Vision System (WAVS) through a
178 mm (7 in) LCD color monitor in the
cab. Developed specifically for rugged
applications, this durable camera
improves productivity and increases
operator awareness of surroundings.
High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting.
Optional HID lights can replace the
standard halogen lamps. The powerful
HID lights are four times brighter,
improving night time visibility and safety.

Net power is tested per ISO 9249, SAE J1349, and EEC
80/1269 Standards in effect at the time of manufacture.
VHP Plus is an optional attachment.
Net power advertised is the power available at rated speed
of 2,000 rpm, measured at the flywheel when engine is
equipped with fan running at minimum speed, air cleaner,
muffler and alternator.
No engine derating required up to 3048 m (10,000 ft).
