Up to 12% Reduction in Maintenance Costs
Maintenance points grouped together for easy maintenance.
Improved Driver Comfort
Modernized cabin equipped with quiet steering, a new seat, and adjustable controls that allow drivers to work more efficiently throughout the day.
Key Features
- Mastering and Driving Comfort
- Top-notch Service and Assistance
- Power and Efficiency
- Boosted Productivity by Technologies
- Wheel Tips Designed to be Performant
Mastering and Driving Comfort

Simplified entry and exit thanks to a completely redesigned cabin with a foldable armrest. Drivers kept informed of the condition and operation of the machine thanks to the VIMS™ 3G machine monitoring system. Improved safety and visibility thanks to the standard rear vision camera. Automatic temperature control allows for the preservation of selected temperature settings. Driver productivity improved with new membrane contactor panels, key ignition, and electrohydraulic parking brake switch. Increased comfort through reduced noise levels in the driver's compartment. Reduced noise levels outside and low noise level sets available as an option.
Top-notch Service and Assistance

Simplified access, in a controlled environment, electronic compartment located inside the cabin. Emphasis on safety with access to main components at ground level or via a platform. At ground level: emergency stop, battery cut-off and engine starter. Quick visual control and reduction of liquid contamination thanks to level gauges for coolant, transmission oil and hydraulic oil. Electronic air intake clogging indicator. Designed to facilitate maintenance and inspections. - Hydraulic oil cooler, fuel cooler and condenser grouped together - Centralized lubrication points Thanks to the Vital Information Management System (VIMS), drivers and technicians can solve problems before they even occur.
Power and Efficiency

Reliable performance, longevity, and low emissions. High productivity and fuel efficiency. Two available engines compliant with US EPA Tier 4 Final and European Stage V emissions standards or equivalent to US EPA Tier 3 and European Stage IIIA standards. For the Tier 4 Final and Stage V option, the Cat Clean Emissions Module contains a diesel oxidation catalyst, a diesel particulate filter, and a Cat regeneration system using SCR technology. Regeneration is fully automatic and does not interrupt the machine's work cycle. Benefit from optimal responsiveness and control with the integrated direction and transmission control system (STIC™). Save even more fuel with automatic electrical circuit and engine shutdown. Get an extra boost on slopes and save fuel by using this boost during gear shifts with the all-new APEC transmission controls. Drivers are less fatigued with the throttle lock that maintains engine speed.
Boosted Productivity by Technologies

The COMPACT technologies use advanced compaction measurement features, cabin guidance, and reporting production to help you achieve your compaction goals as quickly and uniformly as possible, with a lower number of passes. - 3D mapping system available as an option The Link technology (standard) allows you to know the location of the machines, their number of operating hours, fuel consumption, downtime, events that occurred, as well as diagnostic codes through the VisionLink® online interface.
Wheel Tips Designed to be Performant

Specifically designed to fit Cat machines. Improves machine performance with increased service life and traction maintenance. Three wheel and tip configurations are available to fit each of your applications: 1) Pallet Tip: high performance and fuel savings thanks to greater traction capacity and reduced weight. 2) Plus Tip: traditional design for better lateral stability on slopes. 3) Combined Tip: wheels equipped with both types of tips (Pallet and Plus) offer the best compromise between exceptional performance, reduced fuel consumption, and lateral stability on slopes.
