Cat Blades

Cat blades are resilient, durable and designed with excellent dozing and rolling characteristics.

• Capacities and widths are set to achieve increased productivity.
• Spreading design allows for spreading of cover material, as well as dozing of heavier loads.

Straight Blade

The straight blade (2.8 m3/3.7 yd3) is designed for production dozing in stockpile material and general earthmoving.

Coal Blade

The coal blade (10.6 m3/13.8 yd3) is designed for precise and productive dozing while helping to retain load control with increased capacity for lighter materials. Wing angles help retain the load while dozing. This blade is available from Cat Work Tool and Services (CWTS).

Integrated electronics provide flexible levels of information to both the site and the operator. This integration creates a smart machine and more informed operator, maximizing the productivity of both.

Information Display

We have worked hard to help our customers and operators perform at their best through our newly upgraded touch screen information display.

• Intuitive operation and easy navigation with our enhanced user interface.
• Decrease service time by keeping operators informed about machine systems.

Cat Product Link™

Take the guesswork out of asset management with Product Link remote monitoring.

• Remote access to information through the easy-to-use VisionLink® interface.
• Maximize uptime by staying informed on machine systems and diagnostic codes.
• Track machine utilization and fuel usage.
• Stay up to date on machine location, service meter hours, and reporting status.

Vital Information Management System (VIMS™)

Connect directly to the machine for access to a wide range of sensor information and enhanced machine data.

• Create productivity reports with work cycle segmentation.
• Identify operator training needs through productivity data.
• Detailed data logging of machine parameters and diagnostic codes.
• Track machine sensor information with trend analysis and histograms to monitor machine health.

Sustainability is designed and built into our 814K’s features.

• Engine Idle Shutdown and Auto Idle Kickdown can help you save fuel by avoiding unnecessary idling.
• Reduce waste generation with our maintenance free batteries.
• The 814K is built for multiple lives. To assist with maximizing machine life, Caterpillar provides a number of sustainable options such as our Reman and Certified Rebuild programs. In these programs, reused or remanufactured components can deliver cost savings of 40 to 70 percent, which lowers operating cost.
• Caterpillar offers retrofit packages to bring new features to older machines, maximizing your resource. And, when you go through the Cat Certified Rebuild program, these retrofit kits are part of the rebuild process.
• The high speed oil change is standard and ensures fast, easy, and secure changing of the engine oil.

Robust Structures

Your bottom line is improved by highly durable structures that achieve multiple life cycles and withstand the toughest conditions.

• Full box-section rear frame resists torsional shock and twisting forces.
• Heavy-duty steering cylinder mounts efficiently transmit steering loads into the frame.
• Axle mounting has been optimized for increased structural integrity.
• Upper hitch pin, frame plate, and bearing size have been increased for longer life.

Robust Structures Design

• Push beams are through-width, not merely attached to side of frame.
• In corner dozing, stresses are transferred and absorbed through a larger portion of the frame.

We can help you succeed by ensuring your 814K has design features to reduce your downtime.

• Safe and convenient service with ground level or platform access to daily service points.
• Swing-out doors on both sides of the engine compartment provide easy access to important daily service checks.
• Ecology drains for ease of service and prevention of spills.
• Reduce downtime with VIMS system notifications so your operators and technicians can resolve any problems before failure.
• Quick visual inspection and minimize fluid contamination with sight gauges.
• Hydraulic oil cooler, air conditioner condenser, and fuel cooler grouped together for ease of access.
• Side access doors provided for cleanout of the cooling package.
• A new ground level service area includes a Master Disconnect Switch with integrated lock-out/tag-out, DEF purge lamp (Tier 4 Final/Stage IV machines only), circuit breakers, emergency fuel shutoff switch and the jump start receptacle.
• Centralized grease points for convenient maintenance.

We are constantly introducing features on our machines in an effort to enhance safety for the operator.

Machine Access

• Railings, ladders and non-slip surfaces enhance technician and operator safety.
• Platform outside of cab allows for seamless cab access, allowing operator to easily maintain three points of contact.

Visibility

• Optional heated mirrors ensure enhanced visibility for safe operation.
• Standard Cat Vision increases operator awareness around the machine.
• Optional LED lights provide excellent workspace visibility.
• Cab mounted LED warning beacons.

Cat C7.1 ACERT Engine

The Cat C7.1 ACERT engine is designed for maximum fuel efficiency and increased power density. Two engine options are available to meet the emission standards for Tier 4/Stage IV or Brazil MAR-1 and China Nonroad Stage III, equivalent to Tier 3/Stage IIIA.

The Tier 4 Final configuration:

• Engine is equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system which injects DEF into the exhaust to reduce NOx emissions.
• Cat NOx Reduction System (NRS) captures and cools a small quantity of exhaust gas, then routes in back into the combustion chamber where it drives down combustion temperatures and reduces NOx emissions.
• While in operation, the aftertreatment will be seamless to the operator thanks to the passive regeneration system which is utilized.

Your operators can work more efficiently and stay comfortable with our customer-inspired cab features.
