TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS WORK DONE

• Boost productivity up to 45 percent vs traditional grading with the standard Cat Grade with 2D system– includes indicate-only and laser capability.
• Dig with real-time guidance on depth, slope, and horizontal distance to grade.
• The 2D system is upgradable to Cat Grade with Advanced 2D or Cat Grade with 3D.
• Standard Grade Assist -

1. Stay on grade - simply and effortlessly -with single-lever digging.
2. Set your desired bucket angle and let Bucket Assist automatically maintain the angle in sloping, leveling, fine grading, and trenching applications for easy, accurate, and fast jobs.
3. Keep your tracks on the ground in lifting and hard digging with Boom Assist.
4. Automatically stop excavator swing at operator-defined set points in truck loading and trenching applications with Swing Assist, which will help you use less effort and consume less fuel.

• Standard Cat Payload on-board weighing system -

1. Cat Payload helps you achieve precise load targets to improve your operating efficiency. Pick up a load of material--with a bucket and thumb combination or grapple and clamshell attachments--and get a real-time weight estimate without swinging.
2. Take payload data with you. The monitor’s USB port lets you download your results from one shift all the way up to 30 days of work so can manage your progress without needing an internet connection or VisionLink subscription.
3. Track your daily productivity such as truck target weights and load/cycle counts.
4. Calibration can be performed in a matter of minutes.
5. Combine Payload with VisionLink® and remotely manage your production targets.

• Upgrade to optional Cat Grade with Advanced 2D -

1. Create and edit grade designs with ease on a second high-resolution 10 in (254 mm) touchscreen monitor.

• Upgrade to optional Cat Grade with 3D -

1. Want a 3D system to improve your digging results? Caterpillar's new single antenna global navigation satellite system (GNSS) makes it easy by giving you visual and auditory guidance to grade. Plus you can create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job. If your application calls for a dual antenna system, it’s easy to upgrade.
2. Upgrade to our dual antenna GNSS for maximum grading efficiency. The system lets you create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job, or you can have the plan design sent to the excavator to make your work easier. Plus you get added benefits of avoidance zones, cut and fill mapping, lane guidance, and augmented reality along with advanced positioning capability.
3. Already invested in another brand’s 3D system? No problem. Standard Cat technology like Grade with 2D can readily integrate with that system to give you the precise results you need.
4. The machine automatically compensates for excavator pitch and roll caused by sloping ground conditions.

• Standard Product Link™ provides location, machine hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, diagnostic codes, and other machine data on demand through VisionLink® online interface, helping you improve jobsite efficiency with lower operating costs.
• Improve your accuracy and safety – Add a new Cat Tiltrotator system upgrade with factory-fit joysticks. The system allows a Tiltrotator to work with standard Cat 2D Grade and E-Fence; it uses the standard cab monitor to display the tool and engage its SecureLock™ so you don’t need spend money on an extra monitor.
• All Cat Grade systems are compatible with radios and base stations from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica. Already invested in a grade infrastructure? You can install grade systems from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica onto the machine.
