Features At A Glance

Solid through-width push beams transfer and absorb stresses through a larger portion of the frame.
The full box-section rear frame helps resist torsional shock and twisting forces.
Heavy-duty steering cylinder mounts efficiently transmit steering loads into the frame.
Optimized axle mounting helps result in increased structural integrity.
Delayed engine shutdown allows your machine to cool before shutting down the engine to help prevent engine and after-treatment damage.
Resilient, durable blades are designed with excellent dozing and rolling characteristics.

The Cat C15 engine is designed for maximum fuel efficiency in the most demanding conditions.
Load sensing hydraulic steering system helps enable precise machine control for easier loading.

Optional Cat Detect technologies help enhance awareness of the environment around the machine for increased safety.

Steering and Transmission Integrated Control (STIC™) system combines directional selection, gear selection, and steering into a single lever, helping to maximize
responsiveness and control, while reducing operator fatigue.
Operators can easily enter and exit the cab with fold-up STIC steer/armrest, reduced access stairway angles, and standard stairway lighting.
Experience reduced vibrations with isolated cab mounts and seat-mounted implement and steering controls.
Large backlit membrane switches feature LED activation indicators and ISO symbols for quick function identification.
Reduced interior sound levels help keep operators comfortable throughout their entire shift.

Automatic engine and electrical system shutdown helps conserve fuel and helps reduce component wear when machine is not in use.
Generate less waste with maintenance-free batteries.
Maximize machine life and help lower operating costs with Caterpillar Reman and Certified Rebuild programs, which utilize reused or remanufactured components for 40 to 70% cost savings.
Retrofit packages from Caterpillar deliver new features to older machines to get the most from your investment.
