Smooth, efcient operation helps you get the job done faster.

Load-Sensing Hydraulic System

K Series machines feature a new electro-hydraulic control system that is governed by the Intelligent Power Management

system. The load-sensing, variable ow system senses work demand and adjusts ow and pressure to match. This allows full

hydraulic forces at any engine speed.

• Programmable in-cab kick-outs are easy to set on the go for tilt, lower and lift. This feature is ideal forapplications where the

work cycle is repeatable.

• Caterpillar exclusive electro-hydraulic snubbing at programmed kickouts and rack/dump stops greatly improves operator

comfort and component life in addition to improved material retention.

• Adjustable third function ow through the secondary display (when equipped) for use with hydro-mechanical work tools.

• Optional Ride Control System provides an even smoother ride and excellent material retention.

• Designed with dedicated pumps for steering and implements so there is no compromise in cycle times and efciency

formulti-function operation.
