Cat Lift Assist for Excavators

Cat Lift Assist for Excavators

Overview

Cat Lift Assist is an excavator safety feature that quickly calculates the actual load you are lifting and compares it to the rated load the excavator is capable of handling. Visual and auditory alerts tell you if you are within safe working range or need to take action to avoid tipping.

Benefits & Features

Pick Up Heavy Material

    • Lift Assist helps you stay firmly grounded when picking up heavy material.
    • It's ideal for applications like lifting and placing heavy pipe, manholes, and trench boxes.
    • Lift Assist fully integrates into Cat Next Generation Excavator technologies and complements their capabilities.

Get Real-Time Load Information

    • Payload sensors detect if the load is within the excavator’s safe working range.
    • Visual indicators in the monitor will show you if you are lifting safe loads (green), close to rated load (orange), or are overloaded (red).
    • An auditory alert will sound if you’re approaching the maximum safe working load; a continuous alert will sound if you are overloaded.

Improve Safety and Efficiency

    • Reduce tipping and increase operating efficiency with less trial and error.
    • Extend machine life by never overloading and overworking structural components.
    • Working along with other technologies like Cat PAYLOAD, Cat GRADE, and Cat 2D E-Fence, Lift Assist improves overall jobsite efficiency and safety.
