FEATURES AT A GLANCE
MAXIMIZE PERFORMANCE
- Cat C7 engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 3/EU Stage IIIA equivalent or Tier 2/Stage II equivalent emissions standards, depending on emission standards of specific country.
- Power Shift Countershaft Transmission matched to engine, maximizing power to the ground.
MOVE MORE, BURN LESS
- Electronic Throttle Control helps improve productivity by optimizing HP and torque to match the power demands of the application.
- Aggressive blade angles, optimized moldboard curvature and large throat clearance allows material to roll more freely along blade, increasing efficiency.
- Hydraulic demand fan automatically adjusts speed according to cooling requirements maximizing power to the ground and improving fuel efficiency.
- Engine Idle Shutdown is available to shut down engine after a set period of time, saving fuel and helping reduce emissions.
DESIGNED FOR OPERATORS
- Proportional Priority Pressure-Compensating (PPPC) provides load-sensing hydraulics with superior control, enhanced performance, and efficiency.
- Optional AutoShift Transmission improves ease of operation and maximizes productivity by automatically shifting the transmission at optimal shift points.
- Rocker and control switches are in easy reach.
- Proven conventional controls provide industry-standard control pattern and feel for precise cutting edge movement.
- Optional HVAC, defroster fan and sun shades keep you comfortable, while conveniently placed power ports keep additional communication devices charged and ready.
SAVE MAINTENANCE TIME
- Durable nylon composite wear inserts maximize circle torque and component life.
- Sacrificial brass moldboard slide rail wear strips between blade mounting group and moldboard can be easily adjusted and replaced.
- Left-side, ground level service area access speeds up maintenance and ensures that routine service is performed on time.
LONG TERM VALUE AND DURABILITY
- Utilizing rigorous component design and machine validation processes results in unmatched reliability, durability and high uptime.
- Components are designed and manufactured to Caterpillar quality standards throughout all Caterpillar facilities.
PRODUCTIVITY WITH TECHNOLOGY
- Optional Cat AccuGrade™ uses positioning and guidance technologies, machine sensors, and automatic blade control to help get to grade faster, easier, and more efficiently.
- Optional Cat Product Link™ aids your equipment management with remote monitoring capabilities.
- AccuGrade Attachment Ready Option (ARO) can be ordered as a factory or dealer installed option making installation of the AccuGrade grade control system faster and easier.
SAFELY HOME EVERY DAY
- Brakes located at each tandem wheel offer the largest total brake surface area in the industry, delivering dependable stopping power.
- Standard circle drive slip clutch protects the drawbar, circle and moldboard from shock loads when the blade encounters an immovable object.
- Ground level engine shutoff allows anyone nearby to shut the machine down in case of an emergency.
- Built-in lock check valves
- Clear view to moldboard heel and tandem tires enhance productivity and safe operation.
- Blade Lift Accumulators help absorb impact loads to the moldboard by allowing vertical blade travel.
