Safety Features

Collision Warning System with Motion Inhibit helps to improve worker safety on the ground. It utilizes radar and vision sensors to detect hazard potentials, alert operators and inhibit motion in the instant a machine transitions from an inactive to an active state. Audible and visual alerts can deliver the power to see, mitigate and manage hazards that may otherwise go undetected to operators. People Detection is an effective solution that utilizes both a smart camera and radar to alert the operator when a person is detected behind the machine. When machine is stationary for at least 15 seconds, and if the rear detection system detects something in the alarm zone, Motion Inhibit will prevent the machine from engaging reverse gear helping to keep those around the machine safe.
Cat® Command remote control enables equipment operators to work safely outside the machine when working in hazardous environments. Command offers the choice of handheld Consoles* (line-of-sight) or long-distance virtual Stations (non-line-of-sight). Deep integration with machine systems enables efficiency and productivity by maintaining the use of in-cab technology* features (Payload, Assist, etc.).
*Cat Command is not available in all regions or for all models. Please consult with your Cat dealer for machine compatibility and availability in your area.
