Cat Grade Control with Assist & Digger Man Blog “The Movie”

During the recent #CatProductLaunch event in Malaga I was invited to get up close and personal with Caterpillars new Cat Grade Control with Assist system for excavators.

Your normally quiet, shy and reserved blogger was once again confronted by the Finning News cameras during the recent press event which was once again held at Caterpillars impressive demonstration and learning centre in Malaga. I took to the controls of a Cat 323E excavator which had been fitted with the technology. The system will be explained in more detail in my upcoming article in Earthmovers Magazine, but this brief taster clip gives a quick overview of how it works and my experience using it.
