OPERATOR HELPERS
Assist features help make work easier, especially for less experienced operators. Some blade and steering functions are automated so newer
operators can work at productivity levels closer to their veteran counterparts. Seasoned operators can enjoy reduced effort and fatigue, along with
faster, more accurate results.
• Standard Assist features can reduce operator inputs up to 45%*. Cat ° Slope Indicate is included in the main machine display and shows

* Input reduction based on product testing of a D5 (17B) Next Generation Dozer with and without the use of Slope Assist in a side slope application.
Inputs measured as number of times operator adjusts controls, collected and verified by electronic control module (ECM). Test conducted by
Caterpillar at Washington, IL, in July 2022.
** Feature not operational indoors or in areas where a GNSS/GPS signal is not available.

WASTE HANDLING PERFORMANCE
• Cat waste handlers are designed and built from the frame up to take
on the challenges of landfill work.
• Specialized guarding, striker bars, and seals help protect machine
and undercarriage from impact, wrapping, and airborne debris.
• Impact-resistant polycarbonate cab doors eliminate need for door
screens.
• High-debris cooling system with automatic reversing fan and
swing-out cleanout access.
• Lights mounted up and away from main debris area for protection,
while still giving you plenty of light on the work area.
• Waste undercarriage, center-hole track shoes, and landfill blades
help optimize performance.
• Laminated thermal shields and insulated clean emissions module.
• Pair with waste handling application profile for preset fan purge
durations and Steer Assist blade steer enabled.

CONNECT TO GREATER EFFICIENCY
• VisionLink ® provides actionable data insights for all assets–
regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer.*
• Mixed-fleet management capable with API integration or by using
Cat Product Link devices on equipment from other manufacturers,
so you can monitor owned, rented, or leased assets.
• Review equipment data from your desktop or mobile device
with customizable dashboards to provide information such as
hours, miles, location with mapping, idle time, asset status, asset
operation, and fuel utilization.
• Read/Write Remote Troubleshoot saves time and money by
allowing your Cat dealer to perform diagnostic testing remotely.
• Remote Flash updates on-board software without a technician
being present, at a time that is convenient for you, with the
potential to reduce update time.

SUSTAINABILITY
• Optimize machine performance for greatest productivity, while
helping improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions with a fully automatic 4-speed powershift, which
continuously adjusts for maximum efficiency.
• The Cat C9.3B engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V,
Korea Stage V, and China Nonroad Stage IV emissions standards.
• Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with
the following lower-carbon intensity fuels up to: 20% biodiesel
FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)* or 100% renewable diesel, HVO
(hydrogenated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer
to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your
Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations”
(SEBU6250) for details.
• Cat Grade with Slope Assist helps you avoid costly rework and
wasteful fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by automating
your blade position without a GPS signal.
• Cat Grade with 3D automates blade movements using a GPS signal,
helping you follow a grade design and reducing fuel burn and
greenhouse gas emissions by improving efficiency and accuracy.
• AutoCarry automates blade lift to reduce track slip for maximum
efficiency on each pass to help lower fuel burn and greenhouse gas
emissions.
• VisionLink displays the CO 2 emissions for monitored assets,
calculated by fuel type for the runtime fuel burned each day in a
selected date range.
• Remote Flash minimizes downtime and maintenance time while
keeping your asset running with maximum efficiency. Alerts
for machine updates are sent virtually from your Cat dealer and
updates can be deployed without a dealer technician needing to be
onsite.
• Read/Write Remote Troubleshoot decreases maintenance time and
keeps your machine running with maximum efficiency by allowing
your Cat dealer to virtually test the machine while working. Once
a problem is identified, a technician can fix it the first time, saving
time and money.
Productivity, fuel, and CO2 emissions vary by application. CO2 emissions
calculations based on a reference work cycle using 2.2 U.S. gallons
per hour of #2 U.S. diesel fuel. Applies IPCC2006 methodology using
U.S. EPA Emissions Hub emission factors. Includes DEF related CO2.
Fuel measurements are at 15°C. Estimated average fuel consumption
improvements are based on tests or Product Link data where available.
Productivity improvements are based on test data.
*Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to
100% biodiesel.
