Caterpillar upgrades the CatD4 dozer
Cat D4 dozer (formerly D6K2) has long been a favorite because of its power, precision and optimized balance for smooth grading performance. The latest D4 takes the value up a level with improved sight lines, reduced operating costs and the broadest choice of easy-to-use technology features to help get the most from the bulldozer.
Several standard technology features (slope indicate, stable blade, traction control) are aimed at helping operators work more efficiently, regardless of experience level.
Optional technology package also includes Cat Grade with Slope Assist, Attachment Ready Option and Cat Grade with 3D.
A lower sloping hood line provides up to 30 percent better visibility to the area in front of the blade. The shorter sight lines mean the visual distance between the blade and the material pile is shortened by about 40 percent, so less time is spent backing up to get a full view of the material and the job gets done faster.
In the cab, operators will find a more comfortable seat with improved suspension and multiple adjustments for personalized comfort. An easy-to-use 10-inch (254-mm) touchscreen main display, now common across much of the Cat dozer lineup, puts machine settings and features in easy view. A standard high-definition rearview camera shows prominently in the main display.
