Cat Grade with 2D helps excavator operators work up to 35% more efficiently in a wide variety of applications. Delivering real-time guidance for accurate vertical and horizontal control, Grade with 2D helps to ensure that cuts and fills are made to exact specifications – without under or overcutting.
Grade with 3D adds GNSS technology and RTK positioning guidance to simplify the grading process of complex designs often found on large infrastructure and commercial projects.
Cat Grade with Advanced 2D gives excavator operators the ability to input, edit, and grade simple two-dimensional designs by using real time bucket tip and elevation guidance provided by the system.
