• Spacious cab with seats positioned for optimal operator and trainer visibility.
• High-performance HVAC system ensures optimal cabin temperature and air quality for operator comfort in all weather conditions. The advanced cooling system maintains ideal engine and transmission temperatures, even under heavy loads and extreme environments.
• Updated touchscreen display allows easy monitoring and adjustment of systems.
• Dedicated storage solutions for everyday items, ensuring convenience and organization, comfort and room for movement for the operator.


BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES

• Operator-presence detection system applies parking brake if gear is engaged and operator is not seated.
• Additional mirrors available to increase visibility at front of machine; touchscreen displays feed from back-up camera (standard).
• Secondary steering activates automatically if low pressure is sensed in primary system.
• Cab has integral rollover protection system and falling object protection system.
• Stability assist software monitors angles of tractor, trailer, and grade independently, increasing operator awareness of stability during operation.
• Visual and audible alarms warn operator if an unstable angle is being approached; hoisting stops automatically.
• Hill assist system reduces potential for rollback by automatically holding brakes on when stopped on a grade.


TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS WORK DONE

• Integrated systems give you the ability to make timely, fact-based decisions to maximize efficiency, improve productivity, and lower costs.
• Product Link™ system connects to each machine wirelessly, allowing you to monitor location, hours, fuel use, productivity, idle time, and diagnostic codes.
• Payload technology allows operators to view real-time load weights on the integrated display.
• External payload indicator lights alert the loader when to stop, reducing the risk of machine overloading.
• Stability assist software reports information via online VisionLink®, increasing awareness of machine history if a rollover has occurred.
• Advanced productivity gives you the ability to view trends to help improve bidding accuracy and profitability.


REDUCED MAINTENANCE COSTS

• Durable design and easier servicing mean maximized uptime and reduced service costs.
• Enclosed wet brake design keeps out contaminants, extending brake life (and increasing machine uptime), while reducing replacement cost.
• Universal joints are lubricated for life, eliminating any greasing during the product lifetime.
• Coolant formula improves component life by reducing corrosion.
• Entire machine is designed for greater ease of maintenance with side-tilting cab, electrically raised hood, access panels, and Cat Data Link connector.
• Radiator is mounted behind cab for protection and ease of access.
• AATC monitors and controls differential lock and wheel speeds. This reduces machine inefficiencies as well as driveline and tire wear.
