Cat Slope Assist for Dozers

Specifications

Features

Simple Blade Control

• Cat Grade with Slope Assist makes just about any dozer job faster and easier – build pads, spread truck dumps, build slopes/embankments, and much more.
• Maintains blade cross slope and/or mainfall for better surface quality – even with a less experienced operator.
• Finish jobs up to 39% faster, with fewer passes, up to 82% fewer operator inputs, and less rework.
• No base station, GPS, laser, or additional hardware is required to use Slope Assist. Nothing to remove from the machine at the end of the day.
• Slope Assist features a large, intuitive interface to help operators easily access design plans.
• Slope Assist works seamlessly alongside 3D GPS systems for transitions, cleanup, and simple design plans or changes, even in areas where GPS signal may be lost/unavailable.

Easily Maintain Blade Angle

• Slope Assist is a simple, built-in blade control system used for most dozer work.
• Basic and advanced modes allow operators to customize features and maximize productivity.
• Slope Assist lets operators control mainfall and cross slope separately or simultaneously.
• Easily switch between manual and automatic mode with the push of a button.
• Change blade position at any time – release control and the dozer maintains its new blade position.
• Accurate to within 1% of mainfall/blade cross slope. *
• Onboard HELP and detailed instructions are easily accessible right on the machine display.

  *May vary based on measure-up, material, application, machine model.

Fully Integrated

• 2D Blade Control built in at the factory—components are integrated into the dozer for optimal performance.
• Slope Assist sensors are incorporated into the blade to protect components and increase durability.
• No slope angle indicator needed— mainfall slope and blade cross slope show right on the main display.
• Slope Assist is supported by your Cat dealer and/or SITECH® technology partner.

Basic or Advanced

• Basic Mode – Push the “auto” button on the joystick, move the blade to the desired position, and Slope Assist maintains that position.
• Mainfall – Automatically lift or lower blade to maintain desired slope.
• Blade Cross Slope – Automatically tilt blade to maintain desired blade cross slope.
• Advanced Mode – Control to a predefined mainfall and/or cross slope.
• Recall Value – Place and control blade to consistent value with each auto initiation.
• Swap Slope – Reverse slope values when changing directions.
• Match Slope – Put the blade on the ground and push a button to match recall value to the existing slope.
• Increment/Decrement – Joystick buttons adjust mainfall or blade cross slope away from corresponding recall value.
