Cat Grade with Cross Slope
Specifications
Overview
Cat® Grade with Cross Slope is an integrated system that enables operators to achieve grade faster and more accurately by automating the cross slope of the blade, allowing the operator to do more in the same amount of time.
While the operator controls the height of one end of the blade, Cat Grade maintains the cross slope, instantly adjusting the other end of the blade to follow the operator’s lead.
Cat Grade with Cross Slope is simple to use with all functions on the joysticks and decreases the number of necessary operator inputs, lowering operator fatigue and strengthening productivity.
Cat Grade with Cross Slope improves the accuracy and efficiency of all operators and reduces the need for grade stakes and grade checkers, improving jobsite safety and cutting costs.
For 3D benefits, Cat AccuGrade 3D is available as a retrofit.
