Cat Detect vision systems scale your jobsite needs to provide increased visibility and help you manage ever-changing conditions that pose unexpected risks potentially leading to injury or repair costs.
- Rear vision camera enhances visibility behind the machine, helping you work safely and confidently.
- Surround vision provides 360 degree visibility around the machine, including the articulation hitch area, enhancing an operator’s situational awareness.
Collision mitigation system utilizes an integrated and intelligent sensor array to provide reverse collision warning, people detection, motion inhibit and automatic emergency braking. Additionally, visibility into event data and safety trends is available through Visionlink™.
- Collision Warning: Radar specifically targets collision potentials that emerge behind the machine within three detection zones – awareness, caution, and critical alarm zone.
- People Detection: Smart rear camera highlights people on the in-cab monitor to alert the operator when a person is detected behind the machine.
- Motion Inhibit: When the machine remains stationary for a period of time and the rear detection system identifies a potential collision, this feature will prevent the machine from reversing. Additionally, it applies the brakes to avoid unintended coasting, ensuring the machine stays securely in place.
- Automatic Emergency Braking: If the machine is reversing and a collision potential is detected in the machine path, the brakes will automatically engage if the operator does not take action.
Cat Advanced Payload now gives you greater control and efficiency—recipe mode ensures accurate material blends, while expanded split mode simplifies load tracking to boost productivity and reduce errors.
Single Life Cutting Edge GET delivers reliable performance and reduces downtime, helping you maximize productivity with fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs.
The Auto Set Tires feature has been refined, continuing to simplify setup and ensure optimal performance, helping you save time and reduce wear for smoother, more efficient operation.
Operators can instantly access training videos and feature guides using the on-board QR code*.

Collision Warning System with Motion Inhibit helps to improve worker safety on the ground. It utilizes radar and vision sensors to detect hazard potentials, alert operators and inhibit motion in the instant a machine transitions from an inactive to an active state. Audible and visual alerts can deliver the power to see, mitigate and manage hazards that may otherwise go undetected to operators. People Detection is an effective solution that utilizes both a smart camera and radar to alert the operator when a person is detected behind the machine. When machine is stationary for at least 15 seconds, and if the rear detection system detects something in the alarm zone, Motion Inhibit will prevent the machine from engaging reverse gear helping to keep those around the machine safe.
Cat® Command remote control enables equipment operators to work safely outside the machine when working in hazardous environments. Command offers the choice of handheld Consoles* (line-of-sight) or long-distance virtual Stations (non-line-of-sight). Deep integration with machine systems enables efficiency and productivity by maintaining the use of in-cab technology* features (Payload, Assist, etc.).
*Cat Command is not available in all regions or for all models. Please consult with your Cat dealer for machine compatibility and availability in your area.
