Improve productivity and Lower Your Heavy Equipment Operating Costs
Salesman's Toolbox (STB)
This suite of software applications is developed for use by Caterpillar and is used to estimate and validate the production capability and cost of a project across a variety of Construction, Earthmoving, Waste and Mining applications. The suite is designed for machine application experts, dealer staff and customers to evaluate their production, fleet and purchasing decisions. The tools can be ordered as a package or individually through your Cat® dealer.
Fleet Production and Cost Analysis (FPC) provides the means to simulate hauler cycle times in applications that are designed for the user by following the course created from their sites.
Cat Cycle Timer (CCT) enables the user to collect cycle times using a laptop. Users can choose dozing, trenching/excavating, truck loading and hauling (loader and/or full cycle).
DozSim™ is a dozer simulation program that estimates Cat dozer productivity (D6 through D11) in surface mining applications.
Motor Grader Calculator (MGC) calculates the number of Motor Graders needed to do the job given a set of application conditions and parameters.
