BENEFITS OF USING CAT PAYLOAD TECHNOLOGY
—

With its onboard weighing systems and real-time feedback in the cab, Cat Payload does more than simply eliminate trips to the weighing scale. It also helps you boost productivity, drive down costs, increase operator efficiency and run a safer jobsite. Here’s how:

• On-the-Go Load Weighing helps operators hit exact loading targets every time, increasing productivity and reducing cycle times. Eliminating overloading reduces excessive wear, expensive tire damage and dangerous material spills. Eliminating underloading means you can move more in fewer loads, saving time and fuel.
• In-Cab Displays let operators easily see bucket and truck load weights, track load counts and material movement, and monitor productivity and fuel efficiency in real time. On hauling tools, payload lamps and external scoreboard displays provide load status to the loader operator. It all increases accuracy to reduce costly errors and rework.
• Comprehensive Reporting lets you track key performance indicators like daily production tonnage, truck load counts, tons/hour, tons/fuel burned and more, then make improvements to boost productivity and profits.
   

What's the benefit for my operator?
With on-board payload systems like Cat Payload, advanced weighing modes assist with payload accuracy and make loading cycles more efficient as a result.

• Transfer-On-Weight — provides a preview of material weight plus total truck payload as the bucket is weighed – giving operators the opportunity to tip off material if the load is too heavy before dumping it into the truck. 
• Low-Lift-Weighting — estimates material weight at a low-lift height – without lifting through the entire weigh range – to speed loading when exact weights aren't required, such as during hopper loading. An added benefit is the speed of truck loading. The operator can use the "low-lift estimated weighing weight" in conjunction with tip-off to adjust his final bucket for the right amount prior to completing the truck. This saves time and fuel since he doesn't have to lift all the way through the weigh range for a scaled, accurate weight prior to making adjustments, like he would on a more traditional system. 
• Tip-Off — allows the operator to make final-pass load adjustments at the stockpile, truck or hopper and view adjusted weights in real time. 

The operator can track loader productivity right from the cab – with quick access to daily payload weights, load and cycle counts, and totals. 

This puts the operator in control and gives him more confidence.
