Caterpillar's Mini Excavator Features Elevated Hydraulic Horsepower in Compact Design

Caterpillar has recently introduced its mini excavator, featuring elevated hydraulic horsepower in a compact design. This new machine is designed to assist operators with controlling the excavator, improving accuracy and enhancing overall productivity.

The Cat Indicate and E-Fence software packages are available from the factory or as a field upgrade kit, providing contractors with two options to suit their needs. The Indicate system provides visual and audible indicators to where the bucket is versus target grade, making it ideal for applications such as digging footings, septic systems, foundations, slope work, and similar projects.

On the other hand, the E-Fence system automatically constrains machine motion within preset boundaries, allowing operators to work confidently and efficiently by avoiding structures. Additionally, the Laser Catcher technology provides a consistent reference point across the site, reducing the requirement for manual grade checking.

The Cat Grade automatics offer contractors the ability to create, manage, and grade simple to complex designs with accuracy, ensuring cuts are filled to exact specifications. 5 model.
