Program each joystick button, including power mode, response, and pattern, using Operator ID; the machine will remember what you set each time you go to work.
Program up to four depth and slope offsets so you can easily get to grade without a grade checker —a real time saver and safety enhancer on the jobsite.
Protect your hammer from overworking. Auto hammer stop warns you after 15 seconds of continuous firing and then automatically shuts it off after 30 seconds —all to prevent wear and tear on the attachment and excavator.
Automatic hydraulic oil warmup gets you to work faster in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components.
Navigate quickly on the standard high-resolution 254 mm (10 in) touchscreen monitor or with the aid of the jog dial control.
A second 254 mm (10 in) monitor is available for the Cat Grade with Advanced 2D and Cat Grade with 3D.
The Cat PL161 Attachment Locator is a Bluetooth device that makes finding your attachments and other gear quick and easy. The excavator's onboard Bluetooth reader will locate the device automatically.
Save more time and energy with available work tool recognition. A simple shake of the attached tool confirms its identity; it also ensures all the attachment settings are correct so you can get to work quickly and efficiently.
Make moving the excavator much easier with Cat Stick Steer. Simply push a button and use one hand to travel and turn instead of both hands or feet on levers or pedals.
Not sure how a function works or how to maintain the excavator? Always have the operator's manual at your fingertips in the touchscreen monitor.

Less Maintenance

Expect up to 20 percent less maintenance cost than the 390F due to reduced hydraulic oil capacity and extended and synchronized service intervals
The excavator is auto lube ready with built-in mounting points; an available auto lube retrofit kit provides additional hardware to mount a grease pump and line guards.
Track your excavator's filter life and maintenance intervals via the in-cab monitor.
Using Cat genuine oil and filters and doing typical S∙O∙S monitoring will double the current service interval to 1,000 hours, giving you greater uptime to do more work.
The advanced air intake filter with pre-cleaner has double the dust holding capacity of the previous air intake filter.
The hydraulic oil filter provides improved filtration performance and longer 3,000 hour replacement interval —50 percent longer than previous filter designs.
The high-efficiency hydraulic fan has an automatic reverse function to keep cores free from debris, eliminating the need for any operator interaction.
S·O·S ports simplify maintenance and allow for quick, easy extraction of fluid samples for analysis.

Enhanced Safety

Standard 2D E-Fence is integrated right out of the factory, which prevents the excavator from moving outside of operator-defined set points.
Lift Assist helps you avoid tipping by letting you know if your load is within the excavator's safe working range limits.
Rearview and right-hand-sideview cameras are standard. Upgrade to 360° visibility and you'll easily visualize objects and personnel around the excavator in a single view.
See all around the machine with the premium 360° lighting package and its 1800 lm lights on the chassis, cab, boom, sides, and rear.
Serrated steps and anti-skid punch plate on the service platform help prevent slipping.
A travel direction indicator helps operators know which way to activate the travel levers.
Enjoy great visibility into the trench, in each swing direction, and behind you with the help of smaller cab pillars, larger windows, and a flat engine hood design.
A ground-level shutoff switch stops all fuel to the engine when activated and shuts down the machine.

Sustainability

The Cat® C18 engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, Japan 2014 and Korea Tier 5 emission standards.
Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) * or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details.
Cat Grade technologies combine advanced guidance with optional automated machine control helping you reach grading targets while reducing fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by improving efficiency, job site productivity, and accuracy.
Auto engine speed control reduces unnecessary fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by allowing the engine to automatically go into idle mode when the machine is not working.
Cat® Payload for excavators provides on-the-go material weighing, which helps reduce fuel burn by improving loading efficiency, jobsite productivity, and eliminating trips to the scale.
Cat® 2D E-fence keeps the front linkage within a predefined work area to avoid hazards such as traffic - not only helping keep personnel safe but also helps you avoid repairs, downtime, and costly jobsite fines.
Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine.
Cat VisionLink® displays the CO2 emissions for monitored assets, calculated by fuel type for the runtime fuel burned each day in a selected date range.
Remote flash minimizes downtime and maintenance time while keeping your asset running with maximum efficiency. Alerts for machine updates are sent virtually from your Cat dealer and updates can be deployed without a dealer technician needing to be onsite.
Remote troubleshoot decreases maintenance time and keeps your machine running with maximum efficiency by allowing your Cat dealer to virtually test the machine while working. Once a problem is identified, a technician can fix it the first time, saving time and money.

*Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel.
