Operator Station

Visibility

Good visibility is key to your safety and efficiency. Large windows make it easy to see the moldboard and tires, as well as behind the machine. A rear vision camera is available to enhance your sight lines to the rear of the machine.

Comfort and Control

Experience the most spacious, comfortable cab in the industry. Revolutionary joystick controls replace levers, so hand and arm movement is reduced by 78%, helping to reduce operator fatigue. Rocker switches and control levers are in easy reach. A standard Cat Comfort Series suspension seat and electronically adjustable control pods add even more to comfort and productivity. Multiple isolation mounts significantly reduce sound and vibration for a more relaxed work environment. The high capacity Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system dehumidifies and pressurizes the cab, circulates fresh air, seals out dust and keeps windows clear. Enjoy streaming audio from a portable device or hands-free use of a mobile phone while operating machine with available Bluetooth technology.

In-Dash Instrument Cluster

Easy-to-read, high-visibility gauges and warning lamps keep you aware of critical system information. Cat Messenger offers real-time machine performance and diagnostic data to help you get the most from your machine.

  • Information Display in cab shows service/maintenance concerns and diagnostic codes are logged.
Performance and Productivity

Performance and Productivity

  • Motor graders have a direct impact on how productively all other mining machines operate – in particular in their role in haul road maintenance. The 16is optimized exactly to this goal:
  • Additional weight along with adjusted weight balance offers enhanced performance improving traction and the ability to keep ground speed, especially when carrying a large load.
  • Available with three variations of the C13 engine depending upon sales region.
  • Emissions reduction technology is transparent, with no action required from the operator.
  • Multi-color / touch screen information display is the operator's gateway to monitoring machine performance and provides convenient way of modifying machine parameters to tailor performance to the current task. Assist in providing service information for troubleshooting.
  • Cat Product Linkâ„¢ Elite integrates into the machine, taking guesswork out of equipment management. Provides easy access to machine location, hours, fuel usage, idle time and event codes via the online VisionLink® user interface helping you manage your fleet and operating costs.
  • Manage your fleet of machines while reducing fuel burn with Cat Production Measurement System option. The Efficiency Coach and Application Segmentation work together to monitor operators and machines simultaneously. Measure your jobsite’s efficiency and productivity from anywhere on the website.
Ensuring a Safe Jobsite

Ensuring a Safe Jobsite

  • Caterpillar considers the safety of everyone in, on or around Cat equipment when developing products or enhancing safety features.
  • The 16has safety features including -
  1. Access to Tandem
  2. Rear View Camera
  3. Seat Belt Indicator

Steering and Implement Controls

Steering and Implement Controls

Operators are more comfortable and productive with two electro-hydraulic joysticks. Electronically adjustable control pods help position operators for optimal visibility and proper operation.

Joystick Functions

The left joystick controls steering, articulation, return-to-center, wheel lean, gear selection, left moldboard lift cylinder and float. The right joystick controls drawbar, circle and moldboard functions as well as electronic throttle control and manual differential lock/unlock. Joystick lean angle mirrors the steer tires' turning angle. A brake tensioning system holds the joystick in position until the operator moves it. The steering control automatically reduces steering sensitivity at higher ground speeds for predictable control. A Programmable Auxiliary Hydraulic Pod controls up to five additional hydraulic circuits to optimize your machine for specific applications.

Electronic Throttle Control

Provides easy, precise and consistent throttle operation. An automatic/manual mode switch offers flexibility for different applications and operator preferences.
Top Service and Support

Top Service and Support

  • Cat dealers are committed to helping you succeed, ensuring you have the right machine for the job, making parts available, operator training and providing a wide range of versatile work tools.
