Caterpillar introducing smart attachment feature for loaders

Caterpillar is to launch a new ‘smart creep’ feature for Cat D3 Skid Steer Loaders (SSL) and Compact Track Loaders (CTL) for operating cold planer and wheel saw attachments.

The feature combines attachment sensors and software to balance attachment load and machine speed.

“Smart creep senses the load on the attachment and automatically adjusts the drive command to keep the cold planer or wheel saw running at the most productive speed,” the OEM confirmed in a statement.
