- Continuously variable transmission delivers smooth, fast acceleration and speed on grade.
- Machine maneuvering on grade is made easy with speed-hold and anti-rollback.
- Integrated continuously variable transmission provides maximum, steady power at optimal speeds.
- Advanced rimpull control for best loading efficiency in the pile and tire wear reduction.
- Autodig with Auto Set Tires for consistent high bucket fill factors.
- Application Profiles optimize machine settings for different applications at one push of a button.
- Job Aids help operators improve and optimize their operating skills.
- Performance Series Buckets utilize a system-based approach to balance bucket shape against the machine’s linkage, resulting in higher fill factors and better material retention when compared with other buckets of the same rated capacity.
- Automatic engine idle shutdown system significantly helps to reduce idle time, overall operating hours, and fuel consumption.
- Dual ride control accumulator system enables a wide payload range and better ride quality.
- Optional limited slip differentials increase traction and reduce tire slip, lowering operating costs.
- Optional aggregate handler configuration offers higher payload capability for loose aggregate handling.**
- Fusion™ Quick Coupler allows for easy tool changes without leaving the cab, letting the machine move quickly from task to task.
**Optional configurations and equipment may vary from region to region and require conformance to Caterpillar payload policy. Consult your dealer or Caterpillar representative for details.
- Standard Cat technologies to monitor, manage, and enhance your jobsite operations.
– Cat Payload* with Assist provides accurate weighing of the bucket payloads. Data is displayed in real time to improve productivity and loading accuracy with manual tip-off.
– VisionLink® provides actionable data insights for all assets – regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer.* Customizable dashboards provide information such as hours, miles, location with mapping, idle time, asset status, asset operation, and fuel utilization. Make informed decisions that help to lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your jobsite.
*Data field availability can vary by equipment manufacturer.
– Autodig allows the operator to fully automate bucket loading to improve fill factors and loading time.
– Auto Set Tires promotes proper loading technique, significantly reducing tire slip and tire wear.
- Optional Cat Advanced Payload** with Assist:
– Tip Off Assist automatizes load adjustment of the final bucket to match hauling unit target.
– Enhanced lists management, site integration, and extended scale features to help manage and improve productivity and profitability of operations.
– e-Ticket allows an operator to generate a weighing ticket and effortlessly send it over the air to any email address.
- Optional VisionLink Productivity gathers and summarizes machine telematics and jobsite data from all your equipment. Improve machine efficiency, productivity, utilization and reduce per-unit costs.
