High Performance

    
• Work up to 3000 m (9,840 ft) above sea level without de-rating.

    

• Match the excavator to the job with three operating modes: Power, Smart, and ECO.

    

• The Cat® C18 engine meets Brazil MAR-1 emission standards, equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA. 

    

• 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.

    

• Three levels of fuel filtration protect the engine from dirty diesel fuel.

    

• Grease sealed between track pins and bushings reduces travel noise and prevents debris from entering to increase undercarriage life.

    

• The center track guiding guard helps align the excavator track when traveling and working on slopes.

    

• The sloped track frame prevents mud and debris accumulation, helping reduce the risk of track damage.

    

• Swing torque increase of 10% makes cycle times faster than the previous series.

    

• Multifunctioning is smoother and more efficient with the hydrostatic swing circuit.

    

• Auxiliary hydraulic options allow you to use a wide range of Cat® attachments.

    

• Enhanced heavy lift mode increases system pressure to help you easily pick and place heavy material.

    

• Booms, sticks, and frames are up to two times more durable than the previous series, giving you years of reliable performance in the harshest environments.

    

• Advansys™ bucket tips increase penetration and improve cycle times. Tip changes can be done quickly with a simple lug wrench instead of a hammer or special tool, improving safety and uptime.

    

• Auto warm-up speeds up hydraulic oil warming in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components.

    

• Don’t let the temperature stop you from working. This excavator has a high-ambient capability of 52° C (125° F) and a standard cold start capability of –18° C (-0.4° F).

Efficiency Through Technology

    
• Boost productivity up to 45% versus traditional grading with standard Cat® Grade with 2D system – includes indicate-only and laser capability.

    

• Operator Coaching is an in-cab system that recognizes specific opportunities for operators to be more productive and prevent unnecessary machine wear and tear. 

    

• Automatically stop excavator swing at operator-defined set points in truck loading and trenching applications with Swing Assist.

    

• Cat® Payload helps you achieve precise load targets to improve operating efficiency. Pick up a load of material--with a bucket and thumb combination or grapple and clamshell attachments--and get a real-time weight estimate without swinging.

    

• Combine Payload with VisionLink® and remotely manage your production targets.

    

• Want a 3D system to improve your digging results? Caterpillar's single antenna global navigation satellite system (GNSS) makes it easy by giving you visual and auditory guidance to grade. Plus, you can create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while on the job. If your application calls for a dual antenna system, it’s easy to upgrade.

    

• Upgrade to our dual antenna GNSS for maximum grading efficiency. The system lets you create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job, or you can have the plan design sent to the excavator to make your work easier. You also benefit from avoidance zones, cut and fill mapping, lane guidance, augmented reality, and advanced positioning capability.

    

• Standard Grade Assist helps you stay on grade –and effortlessly – with single-lever digging.

    

• All Cat® Grade systems are compatible with radios and base stations from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica. Already invested in a grade infrastructure? You can install Trimble, Topcon, and Leica grade systems onto the machine.

    

• Dig with guidance to grade depth, slope, and horizontal distance. You can set up four different depth and slope targets to help save time and money.

Take the Guesswork Out of Managing Your Equipment

    
• 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.
