Machine Setup Simplification
        
  • 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*
        
  • Cat Payload provides operators with on-the-go weighing to help them hit load targets and avoid overloading, underloading, or misloading materials. Combine Payload with VisionLink® Productivity** to analyze jobsites and individual assets for remote management of production targets and key metrics.

Swing Assist
        
  • Swing Assist automatically stops machine swing at operator-defined preset points. Simply swing to the desired stopping point and activate using the machine monitor or a preset joystick button. As you get closer, the machine will automatically decelerate and not allow swing past the set point. Swing Assist helps you hit more repetitive swing targets to help reduce fuel use and improve cycle times.

*Payload technologies are not legal for trade.
**VisionLink® subscription required.
