Advantages and Features

Redesigned Cab

The redesigned cab provides better visibility to the ground, grouped control buttons for ease of operations, optional seat upgrades, and comfort customizations for the operator.

Safety

 

        
  • Operator presence monitor keeps the parking brake engaged and hydraulic implements disabled until the operator is seated and the machine is ready for operation.
    •     
  • Anti-glare paint eases night operation.   
    •     
  • Ground-level refueling requires no climbing on the machine to fill the fuel tank.    
    •     
  • Ensure three points of contact when entering and existing the machine with strategically placed walkways and grab rails.    
    •     
  • Work past sundown using the LED light package option for increased nighttime visibility. 
    •     
  • Speed Sensitive Steering lessens steering sensitivity as ground speed increases for greater operator confidence and control.   
    •     
  • The standard Secondary Steering System's electric hydraulic pump automatically engages in case of a drop in steering pressure to ensure operator can steer the machine to a stop.    
    •     
  • Hydraulic lockout disables all implement functions while still providing machine steering control. Especially useful while roading. 
    •     
  • Brakes are located at each tandem wheel to eliminate braking loads on the power train. Redundant brake systems utilize accumulators to enable stopping in case of machine failure.  
    •     
  • Perforated steel tandem walkways and convenient grab rails provide a sturdy platform when moving on, off and around the machine. 
    •     
  • Standard Circle Drive Slip Clutch protects the standard drawbar, circle and moldboard from shock loads if the blade encounters an immovable object and also reduces the possibility of abrupt directional changes in poor traction conditions. The optional Blade Lift Accumulators help absorb impact loads by allowing vertical blade travel. This optional feature reduces wear and impact loading for enhanced operator safety.

Technology

Using the data from technology-equipped machines, get more information and insight into equipment and operations.    

        
  1. Cat Grade Attachment Ready Option (ARO) is the building block for all Cat Motor Grader technologies.    
    2.     
  2. Equipment Management Technology                    
              
    1. Cat® VisionLink™ provides actionable data insights for all assets - regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer.* Review equipment data from your desktop or mobile device to maximize uptime and optimize assets. Dashboards provide information such as hours, miles, location, idle time, and fuel utilization. Make informed decisions that lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your jobsite.        
      2.         
    2. VisionLink Productivity gathers and summarizes machine telematics and jobsite data from all your equipment regardless of the manufacture.* View actionable information such as idle time, fuel burn, location, payload, load counts, total cycles, and more to improve machine efficiency, productivity, and utilization. Access data anywhere via a mobile, tablet, or desktop device - on or off the jobsite.       
      3.         
    3. Cat® Inspect is a mobile application that allows you to easily perform digital Preventative Maintenance (PM) checks, inspections, and daily walkarounds. Inspections can easily be integrated with other Cat data systems like VisionLink so you can keep a close eye on your fleet.        
      4.         
    4. Cat® Remote Troubleshoot is a mobile application that allows your Cat dealer to perform diagnostic testing on your connected machine remotely to help ensure that issues are resolved quickly and with less downtime.        
      5.         
    5. Featured Cat Technologies                        
                    
      1. Cat Grade 3D
                    Cat Grade with 3D for motor graders, also called "mastless," is a machine integrated grade control system that helps you get to grade faster with more accuracy, efficiency, and productivity. Automatic blade control reduces operator inputs and the number of passes to get the job done to save you time and money. E-fence is fully calibrated from the factory.                
        2.             
      2. Cross Slope Assist
                    Cross Slope Assist now includes Position Sensing Shift Cylinder (PSC), E-fence Blade Avoidance, and two sensors to simplify mastless upgrades. It allows the operator to manually control one end of the moldboard while the system controls the other.                
        3.             
      3. Attachment Ready Option
                    ARO provides sensor-ready swivel mountings for faster aftermarket work tool installation.

Lower Maintenance Costs

        
  1. Grouped filters and access points help operators   
    2.     
  2. Engage Eco mode to reduce fuel burn.    
    3.     
  3. Filters, such as hydraulic oil, engine air, and DEF filters, are grouped together for easy access and preventative maintenance. The next generation filters help reduce your fluid and filter costs.    
    4.     
  4. Spend less time cleaning the cooling system with the reversing fan option, which helps keep costs down when cleaned once per week giving you more uptime.   
    5.     
  5. Optional High Performance Circle helps eliminate hours of monthly planned maintenance for frequent inspection, wear strip replacement and circle shoe adjustments associated with conventional circles. Advantages include increased circle torque, performance, and improved durability. It provides a smooth, effortless rotation of blade and assists in meeting road design elevation tolerance.    
    6.     
  6. Maintain roads with the standard drawbar circle moldboard with hardened circle teeth for increased durability. For tight finish grading, consider the top adjust drawbar option for applications that require maximum accuracy, and offers up to 45 percent reduction in maintenance cost over the standard.

Sustainability

        
  • The Cat engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.    
    •     
  • Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)* or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations (SEBU6250) for details.    
    •     
  • Engine Idle Shutdown Timer reduces fuel burn, greenhouse gas emissions and unnecessary idle time by shutting down the machine after a pre-set idling period.      
    •     
  • Cat® Grade helps reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by enabling you to achieve grade faster and more accurately by automating blade actions.    
    •     
  • Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine.        
    •     
  • VisionLink™ displays the CO2 emissions for monitored assets, calculated by fuel type for the Runtime Fuel Burned each day in a selected date range.        
    •     
  • Don't waste fuel idling. Cat VisionLink online fleet monitoring helps you manage idle time and reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions.        
    •     
  • Cat® Reman parts are a sustainable choice. New Cat parts are designed with the potential to have more than one life, so Cat Reman parts are truly remanufactured not just repaired, rebuilt or reconditioned. Because the process ensures the latest design changes are incorporated into Cat Reman parts, you get like new quality and outstanding performance at lower cost.    
*Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel (for use of blends higher than 20% biodiesel, consult your Cat dealer).
