Features At A Glance

Cat Grade 3D Ready

The Cat Grade 3D Ready option includes all the hardware required for the Grade with 3D system, installed and tested from the factory. This option provides an easier upgrade path for customers who want to add Grade with 3D after their initial purchase. To activate, contact your Cat Dealer to purchase the required 3D software licenses. Licenses can be installed remotely or manually loaded onto the machine.

Cat Payload*

The Cat Payload option provides operators with on-the-go weighing to help them hit load targets and avoid overloading, underloading, or misloading materials.

*Payload technologies are not legal for trade.

Not all features are available in all regions. Please check with your Cat dealer for specific offering availability in your area. Build Number: 07E

Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•S^SM) ports are located at ground level, helping simplify maintenance and allowing for quick, easy extraction of fluid samples for analysis.
Boost productivity with proactive service reminders. The Integrated vehicle health management system alerts the operator with step-by-step service guidance along with parts needed so you don't experience any unnecessary downtime.

Start the engine with the push-to-start button, a Bluetooth key fob, or the unique Operator ID function.
Program your power mode and joystick preferences using Operator ID; the excavator remembers your settings each time you go to work.
Navigate quickly on the standard high-resolution 254 mm (10 in) touchscreen monitor or with the aid of the jog dial control.
The axle locks at zero speed and unlocks when the travel pedal is activated. The axle can also be manually locked with a button on the right-hand console or with a joystick button.
Turn on Heavy Lift mode and get more force when you need it.
Cat continues to improve user interface functionality for operators of all skill levels. The touchscreen monitor is an easy-to-use operating tool that presents the jobsite dashboard with an intuitive format. Productivity applications are displayed in grid-view to read on-the-go, and touchscreen navigation is programmed to make sure job performance continues without any hold ups.

Access daily maintenance points from ground level.
Keep your excavator secure with Operator ID. Use your PIN code on the monitor to enable the push button starting feature.
The standard Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) cab meets ISO 12117-2:2008 requirements.
Enjoy great all-around visibility with the help of small cab pillars, large windows, and a flat engine hood design. Rear and right-side-view cameras are standard.
The service platform design helps provide easy, safe, and quick access to the upper service platform; the service platform steps use anti-skid punch plate to help prevent slipping.
The standard hydraulic lockout lever isolates all hydraulic and travel functions in the lowered position.
The travel and swing lock prevent the front linkage and upper frame from moving as you travel.
The ground-level shutoff switch stops all fuel to the engine when activated and shuts down the machine.
Optional inspection lighting helps make service work easy and safe. With the flip of a switch, lights will illuminate the engine, pump, battery, and radiator compartments to enhance visibility.
Optional Operator Protective Guards (OPG) protect from falling and flying debris.
Optional Cab Avoidance helps you avoid contact between your worktool attachment and the cab.
Optional 2D E-fence is integrated right out of the factory to prevent the excavator from moving outside operator defined set points.

The latest operator oriented User Interface (UI) has been designed to help maximize uptime.
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.
Remote Flash is a mobile application that allows you to update onboard software without a technician being present, allowing you to initiate software updates when convenient, increasing your overall operating efficiency.
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.
Optional Cat Grade with 2D system helps boost productivity versus traditional grading.
Optional Cat Grade with Assist helps you stay on grade – simply and effortlessly – with single-lever digging. Set your desired bucket angle and let Bucket Assist automatically maintain the angle in sloping, leveling, fine grading, and trenching applications.
Optional Cat Payload helps you achieve precise load targets to improve your operating efficiency. Pick up a load of material with a bucket and get a real-time weight estimate without swinging.

*Data field availability can vary by equipment manufacturer.

The Cat C4.4 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.
Auto Engine Speed Control reduces unnecessary fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by allowing the engine to automatically go into idle mode when the machine is not working.
Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine.
Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•S^SM) Services helps reveal excessive wear, contaminated fluids or other “unseen” issues that can shorten component life. In many cases, you can extend oil and coolant change intervals by using fluid monitoring. Consult your Cat dealer or the machine's operation and maintenance manual for more information.
Remote Flash minimizes downtime and maintenance time while keeping your asset running with maximum efficiency. Alerts for machine updates are sent virtually from your Cat dealer and updates can be deployed without a dealer technician needing to be onsite.
Remote Troubleshoot decreases maintenance time and keeps your machine running with maximum efficiency by allowing your Cat dealer to virtually test the machine while working. Once a problem is identified, a technician can fix it the first time, saving time and money.
Cat Grade technologies combine advanced guidance with optional automated machine control helping you reach grading targets while reducing fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by improving efficiency, jobsite productivity, and accuracy.
Cat Payload for excavators provides on-the-go material weighing which helps reduce fuel burn by improving loading efficiency, jobsite productivity, and eliminating trips to the scale.

*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).
**Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from lower-carbon intensity fuels are essentially the same as traditional fuels.
