Overview
Cat Command for Excavating is a remote control option that contributes to jobsite safety by allowing operators to run an excavator remotely in hazardous applications.
Benefits & Features
Work at a Safe Distance
- When used in a potentially hazardous application, remote control allows the operator to dig, lift, and track from a safe working distance.
- Lower potential injuries from slips, trips and falls when climbing on and off machines.
- Remove operator risk from machine rollover or sliding.
- For added security, only one operator interface can control the excavator at a time.
Enhance Productivity
- Restart production immediately following disruptive processes, such as blasting in quarry applications.
- Operators can quickly and easily switch between Cat Command installed machines, and change jobsite locations, with no downtime.
- Improve productivity and reduce operator fatigue by eliminating the effects of vibration and sound.
- Control the machine with the same response time as sitting in the cab.
- Allow operators who have had medical concerns to return to work and operate machines earlier.
Cat Command Console
- Available for select Cat dozers, excavators, and wheel loaders.
- Operators work safely and comfortably off the machine while remaining on-site and having direct visual contact.
- Provides line-of-sight operation from up to 400 meters (437 yds.) away.
- Controls are fully integrated with machine electronics to provide the same control and response as if operating from the cab.
- Does not require any on-site communications infrastructure.
- Uses either a 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz frequency communications protocol.
- View comprehensive machine information including engine rpm, fuel level, hydraulic temperature, engine temperature, aftertreatment status, operation modes, pressures, and machine warnings through the LCD display.
- The machine will shut down if the controller is tipped more than 45 degrees, indicating that the operator has fallen.
NOTE: Command Console is unavailable in Europe, Australia, or New Zealand.

- Enables the operator to work remotely in a comfortable, seated “virtual cab” with familiar controls and machine displays.
- Can be located in a command center onsite or many miles away.
- Reduces operator fatigue with a comfortable indoor working environment.
- Operator inputs are sent directly to the machine electronics via a dedicated radio transmitter/receiver, resulting in real-time implement control.
- Controls deliver the same response time as in the cab, maintaining precise control for all excavator applications.
- High-quality video delivers a clear view of the work area.
- Operators can easily switch between machines, or change jobsites with no downtime.
- Enables trainers to stand beside an operator, without noise or movement.
