Cat D6: A New Generation of Dozers
Cat equipment sets the industry’s standards for performance, durability and reliability. This new line of dozers continues to push our expectations forward with numerous advantages. Experience the Cat difference by enjoying the following features.
1. New Undercarriage Options
The D6 line features brand new undercarriage choices that let you tailor your equipment to your job. Options include the standard 24″ or standard LGP 30″, plus a 36″ option for better balance. You can also opt for a 10-roller undercarriage for the ultimate stability. Choose the 10-roller when you need smoother grades and higher speeds on a variety of surfaces, including gravel and sand. Since the Heavy Duty and SystemOne™ undercarriages have similar structures, you can switch them whenever you like.
2. Innovative Blade Configurations
When you get a D6, you have numerous optional blades to add onto your equipment. Types of blades available for the D6 line include:
- Semi-universal
- Variable Power Angle Tilt (VPAT)
- Straight blade
- Angle blade
- Foldable VPAT
- Waste/landfill
Interchange your blades as necessary to take on a multitude of jobs.
3. Redesigned VPAT
A modern Variable Power Angle Tilt (VPAT) design allows for better efficiency. Each D6 model features a modern frame and optimized balance without a counterweight required. VPAT lets you take advantage of an advanced movement range for enhanced performance in all situations. Its versatility makes it especially suitable for jobs involving backfilling or trenching.
4. Ready for Cat Connect GRADE Technology
Both the D6 and D6 XE have compatibility with Cat GRADE for Dozers, a technology that improves results. It empowers you to reach your target grade in fewer passes to save time and increase work quality. The GRADE system available for D6 machines has Slope Assist™ features that maintain a pre-established blade position for exceptional work.
5. Powerful Transmission
Whether you choose the D6 or D6 XE, you can count on a machine with robust transmission capabilities. The D6 features a four-speed LUC that makes automatic adjustments for better efficiency and power to the ground. Meanwhile, the D6 XE debuts as the first of its kind. Its high-drive electric drive design allows for some of the highest levels of productivity and efficiency you can find on the market.
Continuing a Legacy of Excellence
Selecting a Cat machine such as a D6 model gives you the opportunity to benefit from Cat’s forward-thinking standards. You can rest assured that your equipment will provide the following advantages.
1. Ease of Operation
Cat makes equipment simpler to use to make your job easier. The D6 series has redesigned cabs that optimize comfort, visibility and productivity as well as seats that have multiple methods of adjustment. Each machine’s 10″ touchscreen features an easy-to-use interface for everyday operation.
2. Reduced Maintenance Costs
Your D6 dozer can have up to a nine percent or 12 percent lower maintenance costs than similar machines. Cat designed the D6 series to have modern components and longer periods between service appointments. During routine maintenance, you can save money through the reduced number of filters and service points. When your machine requires maintenance, you can remove the cab within 30 minutes if necessary.
3. Uncompromising Safety Standards
D6 dozers go above and beyond industry safety standards to ensure the operator’s security. With approximately 15 percent more glass area than before, the person in the cab has increased visibility. A built-in Bluetooth® microphone provides hands-free phone access for important communications. The integrated, high-definition backup camera provides added visibility for reversing the equipment.
4. Increased Efficiency
Both D6 options offer enhanced efficiency over the competition. Depending on your model, a D6 machine can have up to 20 or 35 percent better fuel efficiency than other dozers. D6 dozers can also use up to 13 or 23 percent less fuel than other machines on the market. With a D6 machine, you can move as much as five to 10 percent more material than before. As a result, you’ll see increased profits and reduced expenses.
