Cat Command expands to medium wheel loader models

2024-12-09

Cat Command for Loading is now available on all medium wheel loaders, including Cat 950, 962, 966, 966 XE, 972, 972 XE, 980, 980 XE, 982, and 982 XE next-generation loaders. Removing the operator from the machine, Command for Loading offers semiautonomous remote control to increase operating safety in hazardous environments.

The system is designed to remove operators from potentially hazardous job sites by offering remote machine operation from a safe distance. This is meant to eliminate safety risks and reduce injuries from climbing on and off machines.

By allowing the user to comfortably control the machine from a safe location, Command maintains high machine productivity in operating environments like demolition, environmental remediation, stevedoring and the handling of fertilizer, chips, and sawdust, according to the company.

Cat Command is available in both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight configurations. It is also integrated with the loader’s electronic and hydraulic systems for quick response and smooth control
