Caterpillar Launches Integrated Sensor-Independent Grading Controls
Leveling System

Caterpillar now offers what it claims is a first in
the industry - a machine-integrated, sensorindependent grade control system that allows customers to easily interchange between laser and GPS.

AccuGrade is a factory-installed control system,
eliminating the need for field installations that can contaminate machines. The system leverages hydraulics and electronics to provide a seamless solution that works with Caterpillar D3G, D4G, D5G, D5N, D6N, D6R II, D7R II, D8T and D9T Track-Type Tractors.

Because it is integrated into the machine controls, AccuGrade enables operators of all skill levels to move material just once. The device uses
high-precision GPS technology to eliminate rework by providing real-time feedback of the entire jobsite to the operator.

AccuGrade is designed to decrease the need for traditional grade staking, reducing costs and downtime spent waiting for grade checkers. It also monitors and alerts operators of avoidance zones and has an automatic locking feature. For more information, contact your local Caterpillar
dealer or visit www.CatAccuGrade.com.
