Change your blade position any time – release the control and the dozer will maintain your new blade position.
Accurate to within 1% of mainfall/blade slope.
Get onboard help and detailed instructions at the press of a button.

Fully integrated

Slope Assist sensors are incorporated into the blade so components are protected for durability.
No slope angle indicator needed – mainfall slope and blade cross slope show right on the main display.
Slope Assist is supported by your cat dealer and/or sitech® technology partner.
Next gen slope assist available on a growing range of cat dozers. Please consult your cat dealer for specific model availability.

Basic or advanced

Basic mode - push the auto button on the joystick, move the blade to the desired position and slope assist will maintain that position.
Mainfall automatically lifts or lowers blade to maintain desired slope.
Blade cross slope automatically tilts blade to maintain desired blade cross slope.
Advanced mode gives you more features to help you work from existing planes.
Recall value places and controls blade to consistent value with each auto initiation.
Swap slope reverses slope values when changing directions.
Match slope lets you put the blade on the ground and push a button to match recall value to the existing slope.
Increment/decrement – joystick buttons adjust mainfall or blade cross slope away from corresponding recall value.
