Ask the Expert: New Technologies Maximize Productivity and Efficiency for Heavy Equipment Operators

New technologies make it easier than ever for construction companies to maximize the productivity and efficiency of their two biggest investments: heavy equipment and operators. That’s more important than ever because the chronic operator shortage means everyone — from rookies to veterans — needs to take full advantage of their machine’s advanced capabilities.  

One example is the Cat Payload system, which helps wheel loader and excavator operators achieve the precise load target with the fewest cycles. Payload also can be configured with preset target weights to accommodate each truck’s capacity so operators don’t waste time manually entering that information.

• Heavy equipment technology such as Payload support frequent attachment changes by calibrating with minimal swings, turns, and other movements so operators can get back to work faster. 
• Software Enabled Attachment (SEA) subscriptions give equipment owners the flexibility to activate technology features based on customer and jobsite needs.  
• SEA and Cat dealer simulators are boosting jobsite productivity by providing new options for construction operator training. 
• Next-generation Cat wheel loaders, dozers, excavators, and other equipment use Annual Product Updates (APUs) for product enhancements throughout the life of the machine, maximizing the return on investment in equipment and the people who operate them.
