BOOST EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY

    
• Standard Cat Grade with 2D 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. 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.
    
• 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 Troubleshoot is a mobile application that allows your Cat dealer to perform diagnostic testing on your connected machine remotely to help ensure that issues are resolved quickly and with less downtime.
    
• 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.

SIMPLE TO OPERATE

    
• Start the engine with a push button; use a Bluetooth® key fob or the unique Operator ID function.
    
• Program each joystick button, including power mode, response, and pattern, using Operator ID; the machine will remember what you set each time you go to work.
    
• Make moving the excavator much easier with standard Cat Stick Steer. Simply push a button and use one hand to travel and turn instead of both hands or feet on levers or pedals.
    
• Trouble cutting through tough material? Auto dig boost gives you an automatic power increase when you need it for better bucket penetration, shorter cycle times, and greater payloads.
    
• Need more lift during your shift? Auto heavy lift gives you more power exactly when you need it for as long as you need it.
    
• Not sure how a function works or how to maintain the excavator? Always have the operator’s manual at your fingertips in the touchscreen monitor.

SAFELY HOME EVERY DAY

    
• The front windshield and roof window are made with P5A glazing for enhanced impact resistance.
    
• A travel direction indicator helps operators know which way to activate the travel levers.
    
• Enjoy great visibility in each swing direction and behind you with the help of smaller cab pillars, larger windows, the standard radial roof wiper and washer, and a flat engine hood design.
    
• Operator Protective Guards (OPG) protect the roof and front window in a demolition application while also maintaining visibility to the jobsite.
    
• A ground-level shutoff switch stops all fuel to the engine when activated and shuts down the machine.
    
• Rearview and right-hand-sideview cameras are standard. Upgrade to 360° visibility and you’ll easily visualize objects and personnel around the excavator in a single view.
    
• Serrated steps and anti-skid punch plate on the service platform help prevent slipping.
    
• Keep your excavator secure with Operator ID. Use your PIN code on the monitor to enable the push button starting feature.
    
• Cat Lift Assist helps you avoid tipping by letting you know if your load is within the excavator’s safe working range.

SUSTAINABILITY​​​​​​​

    
• The Cat® C13B engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V 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.
    
• Don't waste fuel idling. Cat VisionLink® online fleet monitoring helps you manage idle time and reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions.
    
• Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine.
    
• Remote Flash minimizes downtime and maintenance time while keeping your asset running with maximum efficiency. Alerts for machine updates are sent virtually from your Cat dealer and updates can be deployed without a dealer technician needing to be onsite.
    
• Remote Troubleshoot decreases maintenance time and keeps your machine running with maximum efficiency by allowing your Cat dealer to virtually test the machine while working. Once a problem is identified, a technician can fix it the first time, saving time and money.
