Cat® Payload
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MOVING. MAKE EVERY LOAD COUNT.
Take the guesswork out of loading with Cat® Payload. Integrated onboard weighing gives operators real-time payload information to help hit target weights, reduce overloading and underloading, and keep material moving efficiently.
Load Smarter. Work More Efficiently.
Cat Payload puts critical weight and production information right in front of the operator while the machine is working.
Hit the Target
See payload information in the cab and know when you’ve reached the target — helping reduce overloading, underloading and unnecessary passes.
Improve Operator Efficiency
Real-time feedback helps experienced operators work more consistently while giving newer operators the information they need to load with confidence.
Track Production
Monitor load counts, material movement and production totals to better understand what your machines are accomplishing throughout the day.
SEE PAYLOAD IN ACTION
Cat® Payload gives operators real-time, on-the-go weighing to help hit target loads accurately and consistently without interrupting the work cycle. Payload information is displayed in the cab, giving operators better visibility into bucket weights, accumulated truck loads and overall material movement as they work.
For managers, automated production tracking provides a clearer picture of jobsite performance. Better payload data can help identify loading trends, monitor production goals and match truck capacity more closely to excavator output. That can mean fewer underloaded or overloaded trucks, less wasted time and a better-balanced fleet.
By combining accurate loading with production insight, Cat Payload helps crews move more material efficiently while reducing unnecessary fuel, labor and maintenance costs.
Cat Payload by Machine
Cat Payload technology is available across a range of loading and hauling equipment, with capabilities designed around the way each machine works.
Wheel Loaders
Measure payload on the go and give operators real-time visibility into bucket weights, truck totals and target payloads. Cat Payload helps operators load more accurately without relying on guesswork.
Excavators
Track bucket or grapple weights, cumulative truck payloads, load counts and material movement directly from the cab. Operators can see what they’re moving as they work and make adjustments before the load leaves the site.
Material Handlers
Get real-time weight information for loading, sorting and stockpiling applications. Payload helps operators hit target weights while reducing overloading, underloading and material mix-ups.
Wheel Tractor-Scrapers
Cat Payload Estimator helps operators monitor estimated payload and accumulated production data to better understand machine performance and progress toward production targets.
Articulated Trucks
Monitor payload as the truck is loaded so operators can maximize each haul while avoiding overloads. In-cab information and external payload indicators help the loading operator know when the truck is approaching its target.
Off-Highway Trucks
Optimize every haul with onboard payload measurement that helps loading operators know when the proper load has been reached while providing production information for fleet management.
Turn Payload Data Into Production Insight
Connect Cat Payload With VisionLink® Productivity
The value of Cat Payload doesn’t have to stop in the cab.
On equipped machines, payload data can be transmitted into VisionLink® Productivity, giving managers a broader view of jobsite performance. Analyze material moved, tonnage, cycle information, fuel use and other production metrics to identify opportunities to improve efficiency.
Payload tells you what each machine is moving. VisionLink Productivity helps you understand what that means for the job.
