High Performance

The C7.1 engine with dual turbocharger delivers reliable power for pumps for maximum production. The electrohydraulic circuit responds quickly and efficiently to tasks to be performed. Adapt the hydraulic excavator to the work to be done thanks to three power modes: Power, Smart, and Eco. The Power mode corresponds to maximum power at all times. The Smart mode automatically adjusts engine and hydraulic power to excavation conditions, providing maximum power when needed and reducing power when not necessary to save fuel. The Eco mode reduces engine speed and keeps it constant to reduce fuel consumption.
Improve Your Efficiency And Productivity

Improve your productivity by up to 45% with optional Cat Grade technology. Optional 2D grading indicates depth and slope on the monitor with audible warnings. Grade Assist allows you to stay at the desired level, simply and effortlessly, with single-lever excavation. Automatically stop hydraulic excavator rotation at driver-defined points during truck loading and trenching applications with optional Swing Assist, which will help you exert less effort and consume less fuel. Optional Cat Payload weighing helps you achieve accurate target loads to improve operational efficiency. Pick up a load of material, with a bucket and grapple or with a grapple and half-shell bucket, and get a real-time weight estimate without even rotating. Combine Payload and VisionLink® and remotely manage your production goals. With the monitor's USB port, you can download work data from the past 30 days to track the progress of your site without needing an internet connection or a VisionLink subscription. Upgrade to Cat Grade with the advanced 2D module to easily create and modify leveling schemes on a second high-resolution 254 mm (10 in) touchscreen monitor. Looking for a 3D system for better excavation results? Caterpillar's new single-antenna global satellite navigation system (GNSS) simplifies this by providing visual and audio guidance on the slope. Plus, you can create and modify designs on the touchscreen during your work. If your application requires a dual-antenna system, the upgrade is quite simple. Upgrade to a dual-antenna GNSS system for maximum leveling efficiency. The system allows you to create and modify designs on the touchscreen during work; your plan design can also be sent to the hydraulic excavator to make your job easier. You also benefit from the added value of avoid zone, cut and fill mapping, lane guidance, augmented reality, and advanced positioning functions. Stay aware of the exact position of the hydraulic excavator with GPS and GLONASS systems. The machine automatically compensates for the tilt and roll of the hydraulic excavator caused by the slope of the terrain. All Cat Grade systems are compatible with Trimble, Topcon, and Leica radios and base stations. Have you already invested in leveling infrastructure? You can install Trimble, Topcon, and Leica leveling systems on the machine. The remote troubleshooting function puts you in touch with a dealer's after-sales service professional to help you solve your problem and get back to work quickly. Remote updates monitor your activities to ensure that
Designed for Harsh Conditions

Reinforced structures ensure long lifespan in challenging environments. Work up to 4,500 m (14,764 ft) above sea level. The standard high ambient temperature capacity is 52°C (125°F) with a cold start capacity of -18°C (0°F). Automatic preheating of hydraulic oil accelerates cold weather startup and helps extend component lifespan. Two levels of filtration protect the engine from low-quality diesel fuel. Grease retained between the axes and chain bushings reduces noise and prevents debris from entering to extend the lifespan of the undercarriage.
Best Working Comfort

Choose between the Essential and Deluxe cabins, both equipped with automatic air conditioning. The Deluxe cabin is equipped with a heated seat to keep you warm and a reclining left console for easy entry and exit. Effortlessly operate the hydraulic shovel using easily accessible controls located in front of you. Benefit from ample storage space for your equipment inside the cabin under and behind the seat, as well as overhead and in the consoles. Use the Bluetooth® technology and the USB ports of the radio, which are standard, to connect your personal devices and make hands-free calls.
Enhanced Security

The 2D electronic barrier prevents the hydraulic excavator from exiting the points defined by the driver; the system is compatible with combinations of clamp and bucket, as well as with hammer, grapple, and half-shell equipment. Cat Detect - Person Detection protects the most valuable resources on construction sites, people. The system uses intelligent cameras with depth sensors to provide drivers with visual and audible warnings, so they can take quick action when a person is too close to the hydraulic excavator. The cab with rollover protective structure complies with ISO12117-2:2008 standards. Benefit from excellent visibility from the cab thanks to narrow pillars, large windows, and a flat engine hood. Simplify and secure maintenance work with optional inspection lighting. Simply activating a switch allows you to illuminate the engine, pump, battery, and radiator compartments for better visibility. The optional lift assist function prevents load tipping by indicating if your load is within the safe working range of the hydraulic excavator. A travel direction indicator allows you to know which direction to activate the translation levers. Improve safety on the construction site. Add an orientation alarm to alert colleagues when transitioning from trenching to backfilling and vice versa. Secure your hydraulic excavator with user ID. Use your PIN code on the monitor to activate the start function via a push button. A ground-level stop switch shuts off the engine and machine. Serrated steps and a non-slip perforated plate on the maintenance platform help prevent slipping. A rearview camera is included as standard.

Optimize productivity with proactive maintenance reminders. The new Integrated Vehicle Health Management system alerts the driver, providing step-by-step maintenance instructions and necessary parts to avoid any unnecessary downtime. Expect lower maintenance costs with 1,000-hour engine oil change intervals. Replace all fuel filters at a synchronized 1,000-hour interval. The filters are grouped and located on the right side of the machine for easy maintenance. Check the hydraulic circuit oil and easily drain water from the fuel circuit and fuel tank from ground level. The air intake filter with pre-filter has a high dust retention capacity. The hydraulic oil filter provides superior filtration; check valves allow the oil to remain perfectly clean when the filter is replaced. The high-efficiency hydraulic fan has an optional automatic reverse function to keep the radiators free of debris, eliminating the need for driver intervention. The S∙O∙SSM ports are located at ground level, simplifying maintenance and allowing for quick and easy fluid sampling for analysis purposes.
