Overview
Maximise Every Payload
Next generation material handlers take on all kinds of tasks - loading, sorting, stockpiling, and more. Cat® Payload technology provides on-the-go weighing to help operators hit exact targets every time and avoid overloading, underloading, or misloading materials.
Benefits
Increased Productivity
Precision payload weighing from the cab helps to eliminate underloading, overloading and misloading while increasing operator productivity.
Faster Loading Times
By utilizing low-lift weight technology combined with in-cab payload weight information, unnecessary cycles are reduced for greater efficiency and faster loading.
Zero Guesswork
The system's fast calibration, easy-to-read display, and real time in-cab feedback provides operators with all the information needed to load efficiently.
Features At A Glance
- Payload is standard on many new next generation material handlers.
- Payload technologies provide operators with a simple-to-use tool for precise loading.
- An easy-to-read display shows grapple and truck load weights while tracking load counts and material movements.
- Cat Payload functions with a wide array of work tool attachments, including orange peel grapples, clamshell grapples, demolition and sorting grapples.
- Reduce Costs - Save on time, labor, and fuel costs.
- Improve Accuracy - Precise payload targets help eliminate over and under loading.
- Increase Operator Efficiency - Experienced operators work more accurately than ever, while new operators can get up to speed more quickly.
- Enhance Safety - Prevent truck overloading, which creates heavier and more unstable loads, reducing braking performance and putting the driver at greater risk of tipping.
- The Cat Payload system calculates material weight on-the-go by using data from sensors that measure grapple position and hydraulic pressure.
- Automatic weighing provides estimated weights at low lifts (below weigh range) and scaled weights with the boom raised (through the weigh range).
- Easily tip-off excess material on the last pass with real-time weight estimates for precise loading - eliminate under / over loading.
- Grapple payloads are transferred to the truck cumulative payload weight as soon as an estimated weight is calculated. The payload load is latched to the truck once the grapple load is fully dumped.
- Set optional grab and dump area boundaries to help prevent payload miscounts, which may occur during activities such as re-sorting.
- View grapple payload and truck cumulative payload weight effortlessly from the touchscreen monitor.
- Receive payload overload alerts when grapple loads exceed machine payload limits.
- Operators can track daily production from the cab with quick access to truck target weights, load and cycle counts, material movement, and daily totals.
- Managers can view payload details and key performance indicators online to help manage the business - requires a Cat Productivity or VisionLink® Productivity subscription.
NOTE: A VisionLink® Productivity plan for each asset is required. Machines must be equipped with Cat Payload to provide more advanced productivity data. Availability may vary by region and model, not available for track material handlers. Consult your Cat dealer for details.
