Cat® Command
Learn MoreOff the machine. In Command.
Cat® Command remote control technology takes operators off the machine and away from hazardous conditions without sacrificing control, feel or accuracy. Available as a remote Command Station or a portable line-of-sight console, Cat Command keeps operators safe and productive, on site or many kilometres away.
Cat Command is ready for selected Cat dozers, excavators, wheel loaders and skid steer loaders. Speak to our team to confirm compatibility with your fleet and learn about installation.
Cat Command Station
Cat Command Station lets operators work outside the machine, from a seated Command Station kilometres away with no line of sight required.
Multiple video views and familiar controls deliver near-identical response times, while operators switch between machines without downtime.
Cat Command Console
Cliff faces, unstable surfaces, steep slopes, and hazardous materials put operators at risk.
Cat Command Console is a line-of-sight remote control system that moves operators safely outside the cab, up to 400 metres away, while retaining access to onboard technologies like Cat Grade.
With less noise and no vibration, operators stay productive longer with reduced fatigue.
4 Benefits of using Cat Command
01 Cab-Like Response Time
Integrated electronics provide nearly the same response as if operating from the cab.
03 Ready to Work Anywhere
Operators can work steps from the machine with line-of-sight control, or kilometres away from a remote station.
02 Simple and Familiar Operation
Familiar, intuitive controls mean operators get up to speed and start working almost immediately.
04 Improved Safety
Operators stay clear of dust, noise and vibration, and reduce the need to climb on or off the machine.
Supported Operator Features
Features vary by machine, and may be limited on Command Console.
01 Grade with 2D
Delivers real-time guidance for accurate vertical and horizontal control and helps to ensure that
cuts and fills are made to exact specifications without under or overcutting.
02 Grade with Assist
Automates boom, stick, and bucket movements to help improve operator efficiency. Works with Grade 2D and 3D.
03 Smart Mode
Automatically adjusts engine and hydraulic power to meet work demand with maximum fuel efficiency.
04 Payload
Provides on-the-go weighing to help operators hit exact targets every time and avoid overloading, underloading, or misloading materials.
05 Lift Assist
A safety feature that helps operators avoid tipping. Visual and auditory alerts warn operators when a load is over the excavator’s safe working range limit.
06 Work Tool Recognition
The Cat PL161 is a Bluetooth device that provides attachment location and enables work tool identity to recognize the tool and set attachment parameters automatically.
09 Cab Avoidance
A safety feature within E-Fence that helps to eliminate the chance of an attachment striking the cab.
08 E-Fence
Automatically stops excavator motion using predefined boundaries to avoid hazards – above, below, front, left & right swing.
09 Auto Dig Boost
Improves bucket penetration and cycle times when cutting through tough materials by automatically increasing hydraulic pressure by up to 8%.
10 Auto Heavy Lift
Detects when a heavy load is present and automatically increases hydraulic lifting pressure by up to 8%.
11 Grade with 3D*
Adds GNSS and RTK positioning guidance to simplify the grading process of complex designs often found on large commercial projects.
*Additional paid feature
