Cat Command for Loading is expanding to all Caterpillar medium wheel loaders, excluding the GC models.
Command for Loading removes the operator from the machine and offers semiautonomous remote control of next generation Cat 950 to 982 wheel loaders.
The Caterpillar technology allows easy switching between remote and manual in-cab operation.
By allowing the wheel loader operator to comfortably control the machine from a safe location, Cat Command maintains high machine productivity in operating environments like demolition, environmental remediation, stevedoring and the handling of fertilizer, chips, and sawdust.
Full Integration
Integrated with the loader’s electronic and hydraulic systems for quick response and smooth control.
The hardware required for Command for Loading comes complete in a dealer-installed package that includes a low-profile design on the roof of the loader, requiring no welding or wire splicing.
Basic machine controls such as wheel loader startup/shutdown, bucket rack/dump and lift/lower are easily accessed through the ergonomic console control layout. Operator inputs are sent directly to the machine’s electronics from the Command console.
