WHY CHOOSE THE 16?

MAKE THE GRADE

CAT GRADE WITH CROSS SLOPE for mining helps you improve haul road quality and consistency — resulting in higher productivity, increased safety and reduced wear and tear on your machines.

AUTO ARTICULATION combines two functions into one by automatically articulating when the operator makes steering inputs, which improves maneuverability and performance in tight working spaces, enhances operator comfort and reduces fatigue.

PRODUCTION MEASUREMENT

Cat Production Measurement (CPM) provides near-real-time reporting on machine analytics to achieve more efficient grading and significant fuel cost reductions.

GET THE INFORMATION YOU NEED

Cat® Product Link™ wirelessly connects you to your equipment, giving you valuable insight into how your machine or fleet is performing. Most new machines leave the factory with Product Link installed, but conversion kits are available for older models already in the field.

With Product Link Elite, you can stay connected to your machines and get critical data any time, anywhere. It delivers accurate, timely and useful information about the location, utilization and condition of your equipment — the kind of information that can make a huge difference in the efficiency and costs of your entire operation.

OPTIONAL ACCESS PLATFORM

This optional platform provides a full second access path to the engine compartment and cab, including walkways, handrails and cab access from both sides of the machine.

OPTIONAL SERVICE ACCESS

The 16 can be equipped with additional ladders, walkways and handrails for enhanced fall protection while accessing the engine compartment from either side of the machine.

TANDEM ACCESS

Strategically placed grab handles and non-slip steps are located behind the tandems for access to tandem walkways. 

MAXIMIZE THE EFFICIENCY OF DOZING & GRADING OPERATIONS

A smooth, even grade can be the difference between a productive mine and hours of costly unplanned downtime. When you equip your Cat Motor Grader with Cat MineStar Solutions for grading, you help your operators achieve the right grade in fewer passes, helping to increase the productivity of your whole fleet — and improve the safety of your operation for everyone.

Caterpillar is committed to joining you wherever you are on your technology journey. Our experts will work with you to develop a solution that meets your mine's specific challenges.

The 16 can be equipped with all the hardware necessary for the Cat MineStar technologies of your choice right out of the factory. Retrofit kits are also available to implement MineStar on machines already working in the field. Talk to your dealer to learn more.
