OVERVIEW

BENEFITS

FEATURES AT A GLANCE

Performance and Productivity

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.

Powerful Efficiency

Electronic throttle control helps improve productivity by optimizing horsepower and torque to match the power demands of the application.
Aggressive blade angles, optimized moldboard curvature, and large throat clearance allow material to roll more freely along the 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.

Simple To Operate

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.

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.

Heavy Duty Construction

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.

Work in Comfort

Optional HVAC, defroster fan, and sun shades keep you comfortable, while conveniently placed power ports keep additional communication devices charged and ready.

Productivity with Technology

Optional Cat Grade 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.
Grade Attachment Ready Option (ARO) can be ordered as a factory or dealer installed option, making installation of the Grade grade control system faster and easier.

Built-In Safety Features

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 enhances productivity and safe operation.
Blade Lift Accumulators help absorb impact loads to the moldboard by allowing vertical blade travel.
