Exclusively available on certain Cat Mini Excavators, the Ease of Use feature enhances the safety, speed, and efficiency of operating your machine, incorporating capabilities previously limited to the larger Cat excavator models.

Ease of Use technology for select Cat Mini Excavators can be your best friend on the worksite.

  • Indicate empowers you to achieve precise digging depths, lengths, or slopes.
  • E-Fence ensures that you avoid obstacles, buried services and more.
  • Swing Assist automatically stops the machine’s swing at set points.

Ease of Use suite of features

INDICATE

Indicate is an entry-level grade system where operators of all skill levels can simply select a target depth and slope from the in-cab guidance system. The monitor then provides real-time, work-in-progress and distance-to-grade feedback.

Ideal for work in and around footings, septic systems, residential foundations, slope work and similar applications, Indicate gives you:

  • Improved accuracy and precision
  • Safer work zones with less need for on-the-ground grade checking
  • Enhanced operator productivity and efficiency with reduced fatigue from overcutting, overswinging and reworking

E-FENCE

Your first line of defense, E-Fence ensures you avoid obstacles and buried services, such as underground utilities, overhead powerlines and built structures. Simply set your maximum depth, height, wall and/or swing boundaries, and you’re ready to work. No more worrying about entering the danger zone, E-Fence automatically constrains machine motion to your preset limitations.

Ideal for working around obstacles, E-fence helps you:

  • Work safer in busier jobsites
  • Reduce risk of damage to equipment and structures
  • Constrain operating envelope for newer operators
  • Confidently dig above underground pipes and utilities

Swing Assist

The Swing Assist feature, also known as return-to-trench, automatically stops machine swing at set points in truck loading, trenching and similar applications. Simply swing to the desired stopping point and activate using the machine monitor. As you get closer, the machine automatically decelerates and won’t swing past the set point.

Swing Assist helps you:

  • Hit swing targets consistently in repetitive work
  • Reduce fuel usage
  • Improve cycle times

Bucket Assist

Bucket Assist maintains the last known bucket angle and keeps the cut accurate in sloping, leveling, fine grading and trenching applications using the machine monitor.
