Efficient

Integrated CAT technologies like CAT Payload** with Assist and on-board job aids make machine operation easier, so your jobsite is more efficient.

10% more productivity

New Autodig with Auto Set Tires offers automated loading, consistent high fill factors, and reduced tire wear, while CAT Payload with Assist helps you load to target every time to boost productivity.

Performance Series Buckets

Easy-to-load Performance Series Buckets improve material retention and reduce dig times, significantly improving productivity and fuel efficiency, resulting in unsurpassed production capabilities with increased fill factors – ranging from 100% to 115%.

Powershift transmission

Featuring a lock-up clutch torque converter, our power trains deliver smooth shifting, fast acceleration, and speed on grade, amplifying your performance and fuel efficiency.

Better traction

New Autodig with Auto Set Tires assures that the front tires have adequate traction for consistent high bucket fill factors delivering up to 10% more productivity compared to previous model. Front manual differential lock is standard with optional automatic front and rear locks.

Optimised ride control system

Dual accumulator system enables a better ride in loaded and unloaded situations. It improves smoothness over rough terrain, increasing confidence and efficiency and ensuring excellent material retention.

Aggregate handler

Aggregate packages are specialised offerings for loose aggregate rehandling applications. Payloads can be increased above other applications by installing larger buckets and counterweights in compliance with Caterpillar payload policy.

CAT Payload with Assist

Cat Payload technology delivers precise bucket load information with on-the-go weighing, which helps prevent over-or underloading. The low lift weigh and manual tip-off functions optimize the final bucket process and maximise efficiency.
