Cat Grade Assist for excavators automates boom and stick movements for more accurate cuts with less effort. Grade Assist uses machine position sensors and operator defined depth and slope parameters to enable single-lever digging.
Cat Lift Assist is an excavator safety feature that quickly calculates the actual load you are lifting and compares it to the rated load the excavator is capable of handling. Visual and auditory alerts tell you if you are within safe working range or need to take action to avoid tipping.

Cat® 2D E-fence keeps the front linkage within a predefined work area to avoid hazards like traffic. 2D E-fence uses data from position sensors to automatically stop motion when the front linkage reaches the defined boundaries.
While machines are designed to maximize operator visibility, it can be challenging to constantly monitor what is going on around them. Cat® Detect - People Detection for excavators is an intelligent vision camera system that can alert an operator when someone enters within a machine’s hazard zone.
