BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Sustainable development for Caterpillar means leveraging technology to increase your efficiency and productivity with less impact on the environment and assisting our customers do the same. Caterpillar is providing products, services and solutions that use resources more efficiently - from reducing emissions to remanufacturing.

Sustainable Features

Meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Interim, EU Stage IIIB and Japan MLIT Step 4 emission standards.
Fuel efficient engine and features such as the Eco Modes help reduce your overall fuel consumption. Decreases in fuel consumption result in a decrease in combustion of carbon.
Technologies like AccuGrade and Product Link™ help improve overall efficiency, save fuel and fluids as well as wear and tear on equipment.
Biodiesels (20% maximum, mixed with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel) and biodegradable hydraulic oil can be used without reducing the life of the system. Always refer to your Operation and Maintenance Manual for proper usage of fluids.
Major components are built to be rebuilt, eliminating waste and saving customers money.

Make sure you’re safe

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Both new and experienced operators will find operating the machine easy with our new Stable Blade Control. Stable Blade Control senses ground conditions to complement operator input for smooth finish grading results with less operator effort. This system reacts faster than humanly possible.

Smooth and responsive to changing loads

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Performance: Hydrostatic Transmission Engine speed is automatically maintained to match the power requirements of the application. It also offers independent power and control of each track, for fast acceleration and on-the-go direction changes.

Quick response to varying loads for shorter cycle times
Traction control allows better traction when working in poor underfoot conditions

Unsurpassed Maneuverability

Intuitive controls help you work in tight areas
Power turn feature provides power to both tracks while working in confined area
Counter-rotation provides quick steering corrections during side loading applications

Eco Modes

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Eco Modes achieve significant fuel consumption reduction by allowing the engine to run at lower speed whenever possible, and rapidly increasing speed when power is needed. Designed to save fuel in light or medium duty applications, the extremely fast engine response allows these modes to be used even in power demanding applications and eliminates the need to constantly shift into and out of Eco Modes.

Operators can either select the “Reverse only” or “Forward and Reverse” mode
Can help save from 5 percent up to 22 percent of fuel depending on the application

Solutions to lower your costs per hour

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Updated Undercarriage Design The new undercarriage design improves durability and increases stability to allow smoother ride and excellent finish grading performance. You can grade faster, while still producing a top quality finish grade at the first pass.

Choice of Undercarriage Configurations to Meet Your Application Track frames are available in extra long (XL) or low ground pressure (LGP) configurations:

XL undercarriage for most applications where flotation and side stability are not extreme
LGP undercarriage for soft underfoot conditions where additional flotation is required

Track Selection Caterpillar offers a choice of two undercarriages - Sealed and Lubricated Track (S
