2-D GRADE CONTROL
Expand Your Grade Capabilities & Work More Efficiently
Cat Grade with Advanced 2D gives operators the ability to input, edit, and grade simple two-dimensional designs by using real time system technology. It provides elevation and slope guidance to the operator. Informs the operator of the distance above, below or on-grade between the bucket cutting edge and the benchmark point. Grade control increases operator efficiency and productivity when digging and grading basements, footings, foundations, utility trenches, slopes, drainage ditches, and other applications.
Key Features:
- In-cab display monitor – The standard in-cab display shows bucket position.
- Fully integrated components protected from damage
- Real-time depth and slope guidance relative to target grade with in-cab indicators
- Laser compatibility
- Grade with Assist compatibility**
- Edit and work to basic two-dimensional design plans from the operator’s seat
3D GRADE CONTROL
Grading with 3D allows operators to grade complex designs on multiple machines across a jobsite using real-time satellite positioning guidance. GNSS receivers on the excavator and Real Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning provides the accuracy needed to grade three dimensional designs. Grade with 3D is compatible with radios and base stations fromTrimble, Topcon, and Leica.

TRY IT OUT: GRADE CONTROL ON RENTAL EQUIPMENT
Renting equipment with grade control is a simple way to bring accuracy and efficiency to your jobsite. Machines equipped with built-in guidance tools help operators stay on target, finish work with fewer passes, and reduce the chance of costly rework — no matter the size or scope of the project. By renting equipment with grade control, you get the advantages of advanced technology without the commitment of purchasing it outright. It’s a practical, flexible way to improve productivity, streamline workflows, and keep projects moving confidently from start to finish. Ready to test it out?
