Benefits & Features
MAXIMIZE PRODUCTIVITY
- Move up to 13 percent more material per pass with the largest standard Semi-Universal blade in the size class (10.3 m³).
- More horsepower than the previous model with a proven Cat C15 engine.
- Dual Tilt blade option optimizes blade pitch for up to 10 percent more productivity.
BUILT TO PERFORM
- Simultaneous blade response and steering performance with dedicated implement and steering pumps.
- Cab-mounted air conditioning condenser supports better system performance, improved engine cooling and serviceability.
- Auto Shift automatically downshifts to the most efficient gear based on load for fuel savings.
OPERATOR COMFORT AND CONTROL
- Updated cab, with an integrated Roll Over Protection Structure offers greater all around visibility.
- Improved cab pressurization helps keep dust out for a cleaner operating environment.
- Electro-hydraulic controls reduce operator effort , improve precision and response, and enable Cat GRADE technologies.
- Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) places machine data, settings menus, grade control data and more conveniently in front of the operator.
- LCD display is rear-camera-ready for added safety.
TECHNOLOGY THAT PUSHES PROFITS
- Standard Slope Indicate displays machine cross-slope and fore/aft orientation right on the main display.
- Cat GRADE with Slope Assist™ automatically maintains pre-established blade position without a GPS signal
- Versatile, scalable Cat AccuGrade™ is an optional dealer-installed grade control system. Choice of Laser, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) or Universal Total Station (UTS) so you get the right level of accuracy to match your job requirements.
- Product Link™ collects machine data that can be viewed online through web and mobile applications.
- Access information anytime, anywhere with VisionLink® and use it to make informed decisions that boost productivity, lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve security on your job site.
BECAUSE UPTIME COUNTS
- Cat dozers are designed with features like wide engine panel access doors to minimize maintenance and repair time.
- Cab-mounted air conditioning condenser supports better system performance, improved engine cooling and serviceability.
- Ecology drains help reduce spills during power train fluid changes.
- Fast fuel system at ground level, with positive fuel shut-off, helps prevent fuel spillage/waste and speeds refueling for more uptime.
- High-speed oil change attachment to help make servicing even faster.
- When you need repairs, Cat dealers and our unmatched Caterpillar distribution network excel at getting you the right parts you need quickly.
- Maximize your equipment investment with services like Customer Support Agreements, preventive maintenance programs and guaranteed maintenance contracts.
- Remanufactured parts offer a lower cost replacement option.
- Certified Rebuild gives a “second life” for your machine.
WASTE HANDLING PERFORMANCE
- Build or close cells, push trash or spread cover – Cat Waste Handlers are designed and built from the frame up to take on the challenges of landfill work.
- Specialized guarding, striker bars and seals help protect against impact and airborne debris.
- Bottom and Final Drive guarding helps prevent damage from wrapping debris.
- High debris cooling system with easy access for cleanout.
- Specialized air handling features help deliver cleaner air to the machine and to the cab.
- Landfill blades and center-hole track shoes help optimize your waste handler for the job.
- Lights are mounted up and away from main debris area for protection, while still shining plenty of light on the work area.
