Cat® Water Delivery System Factory Option

Overview

The Cat® Water Delivery System (WDS) is an automated system with a fully-integrated Cat design. It controls the amount of water and spray patterns to prevent the hazards common with overwatering. WDS provides variable water flow based on truck speed and determines appropriate flow to conserve water. The Cat WDS is available as a factory option for the Cat 777, 785D, and 789D Off-Highway Truck Bare Chassis.
