CAT LINK TECHNOLOGY

TAKES THE GUESSWORK OUT OF MANAGING YOUR EQUIPMENT

Cat Link telematics technology helps take the complexity out of managing your jobsites by gathering data generated by your equipment, materials, and people and serving it up to you in customizable formats.

PRODUCT LINK™
Product Link collects data automatically and accurately from your assets – any type and any brand. Information such as location, hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, maintenance alerts, diagnostic codes, and machine health can be viewed online through web and mobile applications.

VISIONLINK®
Access information anytime, anywhere with VisionLink. Use it to make informed decisions that boost productivity, lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your job site. With different subscription level options, your Cat dealer can help you configure exactly what you need to connect your fleet and manage your business without paying for extras you don’t want. Subscriptions are available with cellular or satellite reporting (or both).

Remote Services is a suite of technologies that improve your jobsite effi ciency.
Remote Troubleshoot allows your Cat dealer to perform diagnostic testing on your connected machine remotely, pinpointing potential issues while the machine is in operation. Remote Troubleshoot helps ensure the technician arrives with the correct parts and tools the fi rst time, eliminating additional trips to save you time and money.
Remote Flash updates on-board software without a technician being present, potentially reducing update time by as much as 50 percent. You can initiate the update when convenient, increasing your overall operating effi ciency.
The Cat App helps you manage your assets – at any time – right from your smartphone. You can see your fl eet location, hours, and other information. You will get critical alerts for required maintenance, and you can even request service from your local Cat dealer.

Get in and out of the cab more easily with the tilt-up left console. Deluxe and Premium cab options offer supreme comfort, from a heated/cooled seat to automatic temperature control.

ERGONOMIC CONTROL LAYOUT

Controls are positioned to reduce fatigue and straining movements to help keep you operating at your full potential.

REDUCED CAB VIBRATIONS

Feel more comfortable in the cab while you work with reduced cab vibrations from advanced viscous mounts.

BLUETOOTH® CONNECTION

Bluetooth® integrated radio allows for seamless mobile phone connection to listen to music, podcasts, and hands-free calling.

LONGER SERVICE INTERVALS

The in-cab monitor tracks fi lter life and machine intervals, so you always know when it’s time for regular machine service.

GROUND LEVEL ACCESS

Complete your daily machine checks entirely from the ground, minimizing the need to access the upper platform.

NEW FILTERS
