Control Layout -
The new cab is designed to make all aspects of machine operation as simple as possible for every operator. The controls and gauges are easy to read and straightforward to use, allowing the operator to focus on safe machine operation while maintaining productivity.
Combined Eject/Transmission Lever -
Unique to Cat Articulated Trucks, the combined eject/transmission lever provides easy, intuitive control of gears and eject functions. The new assisted eject system gives improved control to the operator, allowing for faster cycle times and less control movements.
Offering both automatic and manual options, the system gives operators flexibility to choose their preferred method of control. When using the automatic system to eject a load statically, the machine neutralizes the transmission, applies the service brakes and ejects the blade at the required engine rpm. On-the-go ejection can be controlled by the operator to spread material as required. Automatic use can reduce operator interactions by up to 50 percent depending on the site ejecting procedure.
Waiting brake, transmission hold and machine speed limiter functions are easily accessed using the buttons on the lever. The park brake has also been incorporated giving operation a more automotive feel. No separate switch is now needed; you just push the lever into park.
Dashboard -
The newly styled and updated dash puts all controls within easy reach of the operator. It features LED illuminated rocker switches for easy use in all operating conditions. The fit and finish delivers an automotive feel with the industrial strength you would expect from Caterpillar.
Touch Screen Display -
The updated touch screen dash mounted display allows the operator to monitor and adjust various levels of machine performance and condition, as well as machine warning categories. These include configuration settings, operator and machine totals, service information, various machine status parameters, machine payload information (when fitted), stability assist, and the video feed from the rearview camera.
Bluetooth® Stereo Connectivity -
Make and receive hands free calls via the optional Bluetooth equipped stereo, with clearer quality due to the quieter cab and upgraded speakers.
