This month’s edition of “Gizmos & Gadgets” features Cat^® Command remote technologies, new cab configurations for Case IH Farmall^® tractors, Ambrook accounting software and Gripp asset tracking.

Remote control for heavy equipment

Cat Command remote-control technology is reshaping jobsites worldwide. With hazardous materials or in unsafe conditions, remote control takes operators off the machine and away from dangers. Operators can work miles away from the site itself, putting them even further from risk while maintaining total control and driving bottom-line benefits.

Remote control lets operators work away from site hazards, dust, noise and vibration. It also eliminates the common but costly risk of an operator being injured while climbing on or off the machine.

Cat Command makes jobs like dozing and grading safer for operators without sacrificing control or accuracy. The control layout is familiar and intuitive, so operators can get up to speed and get to work quickly.

The feature is available for a wide range of next-generation Cat dozers, wheel loaders and excavators. Your dealer will work with you to determine the best options for your fleet and applications.

The Command Station enables remote operation of select Cat dozers, excavators and wheel loaders from a sit-down, cab-like working environment, with multiple video views, familiar controls and comprehensive machine displays. Command Stations can be located in comfortable, indoor locations, either onsite or miles away.
