Slope Indicate is included in the main machine display and shows side slope and uphill/downhill grades to help operators with slope work.AutoCarry automates blade lift to help you maintain consistent blade load and reduce track slip.*.Traction Control automatically reduces track slip to save you time, fuel and track wear.*.Actively monitors machine load and track slip to help you reach optimal pushing capacity.* Blade Load Monitor gives you real-time feedback on current load versus the optimal blade load based on your ground conditions.Stable Blade works seamlessly with operator inputs to help produce a smoother surface when operating manually.Helps reduce operator fatigue by automatically maintaining straight travel with light loads or heavy loads on flat ground and side slopes. Steer Assist automates track and blade tilt steering.
#CAT D6 FULL#
For machines with 3D, operators can easily switch back and forth from full 3D automatics to Slope Assist.
#CAT D6 SOFTWARE#
Cat Grade with Slope Assist™ automatically maintains pre-established blade position without a GNSS/GPS signal – no additional hardware or software needed.Seasoned operators can enjoy reduced effort and fatigue, along with faster, more accurate results. Some blade and steering functions are automated so newer operators can work at productivity levels closer to their veteran counterparts. Individual results may vary based on application, hour utilization, operator and other factors.Assist features help make work easier, especially for less experienced operators.

Estimates based on average cost per bank cubic meters (cubic yards) of material moved in typical construction applications with 1,500 hours/year.

Every product and service get us one step closer to fulfilling our purpose to help our customer build a better world.įor more information on sustainability in action and our progress, check out Caterpillar’s 2019 Sustainability Report. Introduction of the new D6 XE in 2019 represents Caterpillar’s commitment to their goal of leveraging technology and innovation to improve sustainability of our products, services and solutions for our customers. A completely redesigned cab offers not just added comfort for the operator but also increased safety and visibility. These technologies allow operators to finish jobs in fewer passes with less effort maintaining speed, accuracy and flexibility. With the factory installed technologies available on the D6 XE, customers can realize up to 50% more productivity through Cat® GRADE with Slope assist and Cat GRADE with 3D. Ĭaterpillar is using technology to improve safety, efficiency and productivity to drive lower maintenance costs and environmental impact for our customers. Increased D6 XE productivity along with the reduction in fuel cost means customers can expect to see payback of the added investment over a standard D6 in less than two years. Next-generation Electric Drive technology allows constant power to the ground, greater agility and faster cycle times which reduce overall maintenance costs. Listening to the voice of the customer, we delivered just that with the D6 XE, offering up to 35% better fuel efficiency and up to 23% less fuel usage. A recent example of this is the world’s first Elevated Sprocket Electric Drive dozer, the Cat® D6 XE, introduced in 2019.Ĭaterpillar customers are steadily focused on improved energy efficiency and productivity on their worksites. We are continually improving performance of products to meet customer demand and make their operations more sustainable while also driving our industry to improve. As part of our strategy, we are committed to providing products, services and solutions that make productive and efficient use of resources. At Caterpillar, sustainability is who we are and what we do every single day.
