A Legendary Legacy that Leads

    
• Founded in 1925, Caterpillar established the standard for tractors and construction equipment from the outset. Over the years, the company’s leaders have gained a great deal of knowledge about what works and what doesn’t. Caterpillar has grown alongside its customers, developing new products for hardworking individuals who want to push the limits. With that history comes innovation, change, creation, and learning. Caterpillar has partnerships across multiple industries and companies, continually developing and refining its understanding of how equipment should operate. Our commitment to designing and building the world’s best equipment is evident in every single product.

    
• At the touch of fingertips and navigating user-friendly icons, the latest operator oriented User Interface (UI) maximizes uptime and gets crews to work without delay. From re-ordering work tool lists to creating new work tool combinations as needed, operators can quickly set up machines and easily access information.
    
• The interface allows operators to maintain accuracy and makes the most of every second of their shift. Adding the ability to input couplers and attachments into the system makes setting up work tool combinations highly efficient by significantly reducing calibration time. It also eliminates the need to measure up again when changing Cat® work tool attachments and makes it manageable for a single person to check and adjust for bucket wear.

    
• Cat Payload provides operators with on-the-go weighing to help them hit load targets and avoid overloading, underloading, or misloading materials. Advanced Payload is a system upgrade that offers expanded features and capabilities, including custom tags, daily totals, and electronic ticketing. Combine Payload with VisionLink® Productivity* to analyze jobsites and individual assets for remote management of production targets and key metrics.

Work in Comfort

    
• Demolition cab with standard Operator Protective Guards (OPG) includes front and roof of P5A
  10 mm (0.4”) laminated glass.
    
• Tilt-up 30° for a more productive and comfortable sight line.
    
• The windshield and roof one-piece parallel wipers with three intermittent settings include washer spray.
    
• Premium heated and cooled seat is standard.
    
• Get in and out of the cab easier using the tip-up left console.
    
• Control the excavator comfortably with easy-to-reach controls all located in front of you.
    
• Stow your gear with plenty of in-cab storage beneath and behind the seat, overhead, and in the consoles.
    
• Use the standard radio’s USB ports and Bluetooth® technology to connect personal devices and make hands-free calls.

Boost Efficiency and Productivity with Cat Technology

    
• The latest operator oriented User Interface (UI) has been designed to maximize uptime by allowing operators to easily reorder work tool lists and quickly create new work tool combinations. It also eliminates the need to measure up again when changing Cat® work tool attachments and makes it manageable for a single person to check and adjust for bucket wear. 
    
• Standard Cat Grade with 2D with a retrofit boom indicates depth and slope on the monitor with auditory alerts.
    
• Cat Payload onboard weighing helps you achieve precise load targets to improve your operating efficiency with a retrofit boom. Pick up a load of material – with either a bucket or grapple – and get a real-time weight estimate without even swinging.
    
• Combine Payload with VisionLink® and remotely manage your production targets. The monitor’s USB port lets you download results from one shift all the way up to 30 days of work, so you can manage your progress without needing an internet connection or VisionLink subscription.
    
• The stability monitoring system continuously informs operators of work tool position within the safe working range and warns when approaching the stability limit.
    
• Know the excavator’s exact position relative to GPS and GLONASS systems. The machine automatically compensates for excavator pitch and roll caused by sloping ground conditions.
    
• VisionLink provides actionable data insights for all assets - regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer.* Review equipment data from your desktop or mobile device to maximize uptime and optimize assets. Dashboards provide information such as hours, miles, location, idle time, and fuel utilization. Make informed decisions that lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your jobsite.
    
• VisionLink Productivity gathers and summarizes machine telematics and jobsite data from all your equipment – regardless of the manufacture.* View actionable information such as idle time, fuel burn, location, payload, load counts, total cycles, and more to improve machine efficiency, productivity, and utilization. Access data anywhere via a mobile, tablet, or desktop device - on or off the jobsite.
    
• Remote Flash is a mobile application that allows you to update onboard software without a technician being present, allowing you to initiate software updates when convenient, increasing your overall operating efficiency.

Sustainability

    
• The Cat® C9.3B engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, and Japan 2014 emission standards.
    
• Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels** up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)* or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details.
    
• Auto Engine Speed Control helps reduce unnecessary fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by allowing the engine to automatically go into idle mode when the machine is not working.
    
• Cat Grade technologies combine advanced guidance with optional automated machine control helping you reach grading targets while reducing fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by improving efficiency, job site productivity, and accuracy.
    
• Cat® Payload for excavators provides on-the-go material weighing which helps reduce fuel burn by improving loading efficiency, job site productivity, and eliminating trips to the scale.
    
• Cat® 2D E-fence keeps the front linkage within a predefined work area to avoid hazards such as traffic - not only helping keep personnel safe but also helps you avoid repairs, downtime, and costly job site fines.
