Next-Gen Hydraulics, Undercarriages, and Technologies Maximize Attachment Options and Productivity

    July 1, 2025
    Selecting the right tool for the job is easier than ever when it’s a Cat Smart Attachment, which enables skid steer loaders (SSL) and compact track loaders (CTLs) to automatically display the right set of controls and information, such as rotation and slope. The system also calibrates the new work tool with minimal swings, turns, and other movements so operators can get to work faster.

    • Cat’s next-gen CTLs and SSLs use a new high-flow hydraulic system to support more attachments than ever, including heavy-duty buckets built to withstand abrasive materials.
    • A loader’s undercarriage design is just as important as hydraulic capacity when it comes to safely supporting heavy attachments such as mulchers, dozer blades, and cold planers.
    • Quick couplers help ensure that new construction equipment can support legacy work tools to extend the life of those investments.
    • Bluetooth, cellular, and other wireless technologies maximize attachment utilization by making it easy for operators to quickly locate the tools they need and hard for attachments to sit idle or forgotten on job sites.
    • Cat Payload technology works in conjunction with Cat work tools so operators always achieve the precise load target with the fewest cycles and the least fuel.
