Cat® Water Delivery System Retrofit Kit

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 retrofit kit for the Cat 777G and 785D Off-Highway Trucks.

Features

Improves Safety

Improves Safety

  • The Cat® Water Delivery System improves safety by providing variable water flow based on truck speed, preventing the hazards common with over-watering.
  • With automated water delivery, the operator can remain focused on driving and traffic.
  • Remote tank fill control allows the operator to stay in the cab during refilling, which reduces slip hazards.
  • When the water tank is full, the auto shut-off feature prevents over-filling and also results in increased component life.
  • The system features automatic start and stop, based on truck speed, which eliminates over-watering at road intersections to improve safety for all vehicles on site.
