Benefits & Features

Improves Safety

    • The Cat® Water Delivery System improves safety by providing variable water flow based on truck speed, preventing the hazards common with over-watering.
    • With automated water delivery, the operator can remain focused on driving and traffic.
    • Remote tank fill control allows the operator to stay in the cab during refilling, which reduces slip hazards.
    • When the water tank is full, the auto shut-off feature prevents over-filling and also results in increased component life.
    • The system features automatic start and stop, based on truck speed, which eliminates over-watering at road intersections to improve safety for all vehicles on site.

Saves Fuel

    • Caterpillar tests show that the Cat® Water Delivery System's efficient pump control reduces fuel consumption by an average of 14%.
    • The water cannon operates at idle, which reduces fuel consumption during cannon operation by up to 50%.

Conserves Water

    • The Cat® Water Delivery System delivers a uniform spray of large water droplets for optimal gallons per square yard (liters per square meter) across the haul road.
    • Caterpillar tests show that the Cat Water Delivery System can reduce water consumption by 25-50% compared to conventional water systems.
