This integrated technology helped customers in their tasks a lot. Caterpillar offers an integrated 2D guidance system for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.micoequipment.com\/\">heavy construction equipment<\/a> which can further be generated into 3D to provide better efficient results with minimal risk.<br \/>\nCaterpillar future goals are to provide automated technology in excavator grade control system. Caterpillar grade control depth and slope is a 2D depth, slope direction arrangement planned to help direct the worker to a preset grade. Caterpillar chose to integrate the system on its standard 323F L excavator, which is in the peak volume size class 49,000 to 56,000 lbs. \u201cIt is a 23-metric ton piece of equipment,\u201d says Brian Stellbrink, market expert for F Series Excavators, Caterpillar.<br \/>\nThe mechanic can now operate the desired depth and slope from the cab internally \u201cFor example, if you\u2019re doing a 10-ft. cut with a 2% slope, you can enter that in the monitor, bench that bucket off a known point and start to dig,\u201d says Stellbrink, \u201c will guide you through perceptible alarms in the cab and a standard exhibit on the monitors to dig toward that preset grade.\u201d<br \/>\nHence, this technology is associated with certain costs, the more you are going to pay the more productive the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.micoequipment.com\/category\/track-excavators-for-sale\">excavator<\/a> becomes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.micoequipment.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/used-caterpillar-330-cl-heavy-construction-equipmen-sale-picture.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.micoequipment.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/used-caterpillar-330-cl-heavy-construction-equipmen-sale-picture.jpg\" alt=\"Cat 330CL track excavator for sale\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1633 size-full\" width=\"1000\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.micoequipment.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/used-caterpillar-330-cl-heavy-construction-equipmen-sale-picture.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.micoequipment.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/used-caterpillar-330-cl-heavy-construction-equipmen-sale-picture-300x205.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a couple of years while the technology for track excavator guidance system has been adopted by Caterpillar, though the adoption rate in the entire models started to increase gradually.
