Cat’s quick coupler systems allow operators to change attachments in a matter of seconds for hydraulic equipment such as dozers, skid steers, compact track loaders, excavators. This one is simple: Operators can save time and increase efficiency on the job site.
Cat’s TiltRotate System for excavators allows increased flexibility in movement, rotating 360 degrees and tilting 40 degrees to either side. This makes attachments such as buckets, forks, grapples and compactors more nimble and able to avoid obstacles on the job, instead of needing to reposition the excavator itself.
Demolition is dangerous work, and high-reach excavators, such as the Cat 340 UHD Ultra High Demolition Excavator, which can reach up eight stories, allowing safer options for dismantling buildings. Attachments can rotate 360 degrees, giving operators precise control while generating less dust and falling debris. New in 2023 for Cat are two new rotary cutter attachments — the RC20 and RC30 models — for demolition and controlled trenching in confined spaces.
Telematics systems use sensors to gather data from the whole fleet of Cat equipment that operators can use to make informed job site decisions, saving time and money. Most new Cat heavy equipment already has telematics built-in and ready to be managed through Cat’s VisionLink system. Using this data, operators can successfully reduce equipment costs, extend the life of machines and attachments, identify issues before they require costly repairs and identify overused or underused machines and attachments. Telematic systems create efficient job sites.
Additionally, Cat’s new PL161 tracking device can be attached to attachments. This durable device Bluetooth technology allows fleet operators to use VisionLink to track the location of attachments across multiple sites and collect data specific to each attachment without interrupting work in progress.
The Cat Grade with 3D for the skid steer loader or excavator allow the equipment to reach target grade quickly and with fewer passes, no matter the job or type of material being graded. These high-tech systems for infrastructure or commercial site projects harness the power of real-time satellite positioning guidance to accomplish for precisions grading, providing detailed and highly accurate slope and elevation guidance. Operators use a touchscreen monitor in the cab to see work site designs and make any needed changes on the fly.
