Safety
Important for the most
productive business
Operator Presence Detection
This new feature locks out the powertrain and hydraulics to
avoid unintentional movement when the operator is mounting
and dismounting the machine.
Fender Guard Rails
Standard heavy duty guard rails are strategically placed to aid
the operator outside of the cab.
Heavy Duty Steps and Handles
Strategically placed grab handles plus non-slip steps and decking
aid operator getting on and off the machine. Primary access/
egress path meets specifications outlined in ISO 2867:2006.
Visibility Package (optional)
The D9T offers a visibility package that enhances the operator’s
visibility of their surroundings and provides a broader view of
the work area. The packages include a WAVS camera system
and mirrors inside and outside the cab.
Sustainability
Thinking generations ahead
The new D9T offers a number of sustainable benefits:
•
Fuel saving features like Enhanced Auto Shift
help decrease overall fuel consumption.
Decreases in fuel consumption result in a
decrease in combustion of carbon, thus reducing
greenhouse gases.
•
Ecology drains allow fluids to be easily
captured for recycling or proper disposal.
•
The D9T is Grade Control Ready for easy
installation of machine control and guidance
systems like AccuGrade and Cat Grade Control.
These systems improve operator productivity,
as well as save fuel and wear and tear on the
machine. The need for grade checking crews
on the ground is eliminated which increases
site safety.
•
Ground level service centers enhance safety
for operators and service personnel.
•
Major components of Cat Track-Type Tractors
are built to be rebuilt. The Cat Certified Rebuild
program conserves energy and materials by
delivering a cost effective second, and even
third, life for Cat machines.
