Next-generation performance

D5 - Next-generation performance

Succeeds the D6N/D5R2* in the 127 kW (170 hp) category with improved performance and efficiency. The fully automatic 3-speed transmission allows you to increase your energy efficiency by up to 16%. Move more materials with up to 13% more ground power. Improved steering, a tighter turning radius, and faster turns at the end of each pass help you finish jobs more quickly. Perform more tasks with continuous acceleration, shorter cycle times, and more agile movements on the job site. No need to change gears: simply set the desired ground speed and the tractor adjusts to optimize energy efficiency and ground power. The machine's agility and ideal balance help you quickly achieve superior leveling. * All comparisons are made relative to the D6N and D5R2 models according to the regions.

Driver assistance

D5 - Driver assistance

Assistance functions make the work of drivers easier, especially for less experienced ones. Some functions of the blade and steering are automated, allowing less experienced drivers to work at productivity levels closer to those of their more seasoned colleagues. Experienced drivers will benefit from reduced effort and fatigue levels, as well as faster and more accurate results. GRADE with Slope Assist automatically maintains the preset blade position without satellite/GPS signal: no additional hardware or software is required. For machines equipped with 3D technology, drivers can easily switch from full 3D automation to Slope Assist function. Steer Assist automates chain steering and blade tilt. It helps reduce driver fatigue by automatically maintaining straight translation with light or heavy loads, on flat or side slope terrain. It helps reduce steering actions by up to 75%. No satellite/GPS positioning system is required. The stable blade seamlessly works with driver interventions to help produce a smoother surface during manual use. The blade load monitor provides real-time feedback on actual load compared to optimal blade load, based on your terrain conditions. Actively monitors machine load and chain slippage to help achieve optimal pushing capacity.* The traction control automatically reduces chain slippage to save time, fuel, and reduce chain wear.* AutoCarry automates blade lifting to help maintain a constant blade load and reduce chain slippage.* Slope Indicate is included in the machine's main display and indicates the degree of side slope and uphill and downhill leveling. This function helps drivers perform work on slopes. The "Attachment Ready Option" (ARO) provides wiring and mounting components for dealer installation of Grade systems with 3D module, Accugrade, UTS, or others. *Function not operational indoors or in areas where satellite/GPS signal is not available. Note: Assist functions require a Premium cab for applications generating a lot of debris or extra robustness."""

The best leveling

D5 - The best leveling

The Cat Grade functionality with integrated 3D module uses satellite/GPS to control the blade and execute design plans more quickly. Cat Grade with 3D module does not have a mast, the small antennas are integrated into the cabin roof and the satellite/GPS receivers are mounted inside the cabin to ensure better protection. Automatically follow the guidance lines of the design plans with Steer Assist 3D. Respect curbs, centerlines, bottom of the slope, and others without driver intervention. Chain steering is used for light loads. In the case of heavier loads, it is possible to add blade tilt steering. The Grade driver interface is intuitive and easier to use: 10-inch (254 mm) touch screen, SE Android platform operating like a smartphone. 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. Premium cabins, for applications generating a lot of debris and extra robustness, are pre-equipped for third-party leveling control. They are equipped with a CAN interface, beam passages, and mounting devices, which facilitate the installation of the leveling control system of your choice. Note: Grade (leveling) functions require a Premium cabin for applications generating a lot of debris or extra robustness.

A proven advantage

D5 - A proven advantage

The Cat Assist and Cat Grade technologies work in the background to assist tractor drivers, regardless of their skill level, and are particularly beneficial for less experienced drivers. To demonstrate the considerable usefulness of these integrated technological features, Caterpillar put them to the test. Two novice drivers and two expert drivers performed localized backfilling, spreading and leveling of sand by dump truck, as well as work on side slopes. Each driver made three passes for each task: one pass in manual mode, one pass using the Assist technology features, and finally one pass using both Cat Assist and Cat Grade with 3D module. The evaluation team measured productivity*, efficiency**, completion time, quality of the final surface, and driver interventions for each pass. Localized backfilling Productivity and efficiency: novice drivers went from 9% lower productivity and efficiency than experts in manual mode to productivity and efficiency equivalent to experts when using the Assist function. Spreading and leveling of sand by dump truck Completion time: novice drivers took 49% longer than experts in manual mode, but reduced this gap to 17% by using Assist and 9% by adding Grade. Blade interventions: blade interventions by novice drivers were reduced by 45% with the Assist function, and by 55% when combining the Assist and Grade functions. Blade interventions by the expert driver were reduced by 32% with Assist, and by 53% when combining the Assist and Grade functions. Surface quality: the surface quality achieved by novice drivers improved by 51% thanks to the technology, while the surface quality achieved by expert drivers improved by 27%. Novice drivers using the technology produced surface quality similar to that of expert drivers in manual mode. Side slope/Assisted steering Steering inputs - Both for beginner and expert drivers, steering inputs are reduced by 75% in forward motion and by 67% in combined forward and reverse motion. *Material moved per hour **Material moved per unit of fuel/diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) Study conducted by Caterpillar in August 2022 Note: The Grade (leveling) functions require a Premium cabin, for applications generating a lot of debris or extra robustness.

Designed for drivers

D5 - Designed for drivers

The spacious cabin offers excellent comfort for exceptional productivity. A large glass surface and a more sloping hood angle provide excellent front visibility. The optional 10-inch (254 mm) touchscreen features an easy-to-use driver interface. The high-definition rearview camera is clearly visible on the main screen. The optional air-suspension seat has multiple adjustments for personalized comfort. The entire armrest can be moved forward and backward independently of the seat. The cabin's heating/air conditioning system allows air to circulate more efficiently around the driver and reduces fogging and frost on the windows. More storage spaces in the cabin. Compared to the previous model.

Long-term profitability and long lifespan

D5 - Long-term profitability and long lifespan

A heavier and more robust machine contributes to increased availability and reduced operating costs. The hydraulic pipelines and electrical lines connecting the blade are protected for better protection. More robust, the carrier frame offers increased durability for heavy-duty work. The extra-robust undercarriage (HDXL DuraLink) offers a longer joint service life of up to 20% in highly impact applications. The Cat Anti-abrasion undercarriage is our solution with the lowest cost per hour for high abrasion and low impact job sites. The designs double the joint life and eliminate the need to replace bushings, reducing your hourly costs by up to 50% compared to traditional undercarriage. Reduces link ripple for smoother operation. Compared to the previous model.
