Caterpillar's D4 to D8 dozers offer a range of technology features to help operators of varied experience levels get work done quickly and accurately. Cat Assist with ARO (attachment ready option) is a suite of features that is standard on every model. This technology package includes the following features: ARO Sensors (IMUs) on machine for GPS capability; Cat Grade with Slope Assist which holds blade angles with no GPS; Steer Assist which automatically keeps dozing straight; and Stable Blade, which makes finish dozing easier, as well as Slope Indicate, Blade Load Monitor, Traction Control, and AutoCarry. AutoRip, on the D7 and D8 only, automates ripper raise/lower and shank in/out.

Featured: D6 XE

The D6 XE is the world's first high-drive electric-drive dozer. The electric drive makes this the most fuel efficient dozer in Caterpillar's lineup and with fewer moving parts and longer service intervals, there is opportunity to save on maintenance time and money as well. The D6 XE powertrain provides up to 45 percent steering radius reduction compared to the D6. The D6 XE offers in-gear counter rotation for increased maneuverability. Cat dozers are designed with grouped service points and easy-to-access fluids and filters for an easy owning and operating experience. The cab features integrated ROPS (rollover protective structure) that provides more visibility to the work and comfortable seats with adjustments to personalize the work environment.
