    •     
    • Tiltrotator attachments--ours or other brands--work with Cat Grade with 2D, Assist, Payload, and E-Fence. With no additional hardware required, all you have to do is simply select "Third Party Tiltrotator System Installation" on the monitor, do the calibration, and get to work.
    •     
    • Standard high-resolution 254 mm (10 inch) touchscreen monitor features:
          
    1. Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, helping minimize performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu.
    2.     
    3. Identify apps quickly with a grid list view, abbreviated app names, and categorized menu options.
    4.     
    5. The notification center keeps important information visible to the operator and displays messages without shrinking the camera view.
    6.     
    7. Color coded notifications set critical messages apart from the rest.
    8.     
    9. Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.

Safety Features

    •     
    • Keep your excavator secure with Operator ID. Use your PIN code on the monitor to enable the pushbutton starting feature.
    •     
    • The standard standard Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) cab meets ISO 12117-2:2008 requirements.
    •     
    • The redesigned layout of the M317 helps provide improved right-side visibility compared to the M317 with twin turbo engine. Rearview and right-side-view cameras are standard.
    •     
    • The service platform design helps provide easy, safe, and quick access to the upper service platform; the service platform steps use anti-skid punch plate to help prevent slipping.
    •     
    • The standard hydraulic lockout lever isolates all hydraulic and travel functions in the lowered position.
    •     
    • Swing lock prevents the front linkage from moving as you travel.
    •     
    • The ground-level shutoff switch stops all fuel to the engine when activated and shuts down the machine.
    •     
    • Optional inspection lighting helps make service work safe and easy. With the flip of a switch, lights will illuminate the engine, pump, battery, and radiator compartments to enhance visibility.

Boost Efficiency and Productivity with Integrated Cat Technologies

          
    • Optional Cat Grade with 2D system helps boost productivity versus traditional grading.
    •     
    • Optional Cat Payload helps you achieve precise load targets to improve your operating efficiency. Pick up a load of material--with a bucket and thumb combination or grapple and clamshell attachments--and get a real-time weight estimate without swinging.
    •     
    • Combine Payload with VisionLink® and remotely manage your production targets or take payload data with you. 
    •     
    • Upgrade to our dual antenna GNSS for maximum grading efficiency. The system lets you create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job, or you can have the plan design sent to the excavator. Plus, you get added benefits of avoidance zones, cut and fill mapping, lane guidance, and augmented reality along with advanced positioning capability.
    •     
    • Optional Grade Assist helps you stay on grade – simply and effortlessly – with single-lever digging. Set your desired bucket angle and let Bucket Assist automatically maintain the angle in sloping, leveling, fine grading, and trenching applications
    •     
    • Optional 2D E-fence is integrated right out of the factory to prevent the excavator from moving outside operator defined set points.
    •     
    • All Cat Grade systems are compatible with radios and base stations from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica. Already invested in a grade infrastructure? You can install grade systems from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica onto the machine.

Sustainability

          
    • The Cat® C4.4 engine meets EU Stage V emission standards.
    •     
    • Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels** up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)* or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" (SEBU6250) for details.
    •     
    • Cat Grade technologies combine advanced guidance with optional automated machine control helping you reach grading targets while reducing fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by improving efficiency, job site productivity, and accuracy.
    •     
    • Auto Engine Speed Control reduces unnecessary fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by allowing the engine to automatically go into idle mode when the machine is not working.
    •     
    • Cat® Payload for excavators provides on-the-go material weighing which helps reduce fuel burn by improving loading efficiency, job site productivity, and eliminating trips to the scale.
    •     
    • Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine.
    •     
    • Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•S℠) Services helps reveal excessive wear, contaminated fluids or other “unseen” issues that can shorten component life. In many cases, you can extend oil and coolant change intervals by using fluid monitoring. Consult your Cat dealer or the machine's operation and maintenance manual for more information.
    •     
    • Don't waste fuel idling. Cat VisionLink® online fleet monitoring helps you manage idle time and reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions. VisionLink® displays the CO2 emissions for monitored assets, calculated by fuel type for the Runtime Fuel Burned each day in a selected date range.
    •     
    • Remote Flash minimizes downtime and maintenance time while keeping your asset running with maximum efficiency. Alerts for machine updates are sent virtually from your Cat dealer and updates can be deployed without a dealer technician needing to be onsite. Remote Troubleshoot decreases maintenance time and keeps your machine running with maximum efficiency by allowing your Cat dealer to virtually test the machine while working. Once a problem is identified, a technician can fix it the first time, saving time and money.
    *Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel (for use of blends higher than 20% biodiesel, consult your Cat dealer). **Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from lower-carbon intensity fuels are essentially the same as traditional fuels.
