Excavators Excavators

THE FLEX OF AN EXCAVATOR

When you think “versatile machines,” you think excavators. Well, even choosing a Cat® Excavator feels versatile. From size to type to configuration to technology, Caterpillar offers the broadest lineup in the industry. Start with machine size. Do working conditions call for a wheeled excavator? Maybe in tight spaces, you need a compact radius. More than likely, your “go-to” track excavator is suited for the work. The 20-ton and 30-ton next generation Cat excavators offer multiple choices within each weight class, tailored to your work goals. Maximize production and fuel efficiency with breakthrough technologies. Or, set your sights on balancing production with the lowest cost-per-hour. After your excavator selection, set up your machine features to deliver what you need from power modes to grading technologies, even down to work attachments. One thing doesn’t change. When you choose a Cat excavator, you get a purpose-built industry leader—ready to work for you.

Whatever your work demands, you'll find a Cat medium wheel loader that gets it done. At the bottom of the medium weight class, the 950 comes with options.

Motor Graders Motor Graders

Motor Graders for Your edge

Standard or All-Wheel Drive? Steering wheel or joystick? Whatever your preference, there’s a motor grader for you—ready to match your needs in any application. M3 Series Motor Graders come with APECS Software, improving torque consistency and the option for an autoshit that works 25 percent faster. Use the Eco Mode to reduce engine speed and improve your fuel efficiency, or enable the Engine Idle Shutdown Timer to reduce fuel burn and emissions when your engine reaches a set period of idle time. If you’re working in soft underfoot conditions, the All-Wheel Drive models deliver better power to the ground. Another option available is the Cat Steering Compensation System, which improves control with a “powered turn,” which increases the speed of the outside tire to improve control and turn radius in soft conditions. From configuration setup to selection of fine-tuned features, your motor grader options keep your production moving forward.

Articulated Trucks

Big payloads and fast cycle times—from more trucks with more options than ever before. The articulated truck lineup offers choices well beyond size class. Ejector trucks push materials out of the back of the truck bed, allowing you to work in areas with restricted overhead clearance and soft underfoot conditions. The 740 GC incorporates the latest automatic retarder-control system, which requires no input from the operator, resulting in greater operating efficiency. The redesigned 730, weighing 22 percent less than its predecessor, the 730C, still retains 98 percent of its predecessor's capacity. The new 730C features automatic traction control, dumping and retarding, as well as the Cat Stability Assist system. The full lineup offers new engines with more power, advanced transmission control, enhanced operator amenities and new serviceability features.
