Benefits of Renting a Dump Truck With Cat® Payload Technology

At Caterpillar, we're always searching for ways to make heavy machinery more intuitive and efficient for construction teams. With our Payload technology, you can haul materials with ease in a range of equipment, including loaders, excavators and trucks.

For dump trucks, hauling data is essential. Since hauling is a dump truck's main job, live data can connect you and your team to critical performance information. Change your approach to your hauling workflow and transform the way you achieve your goals. When you rent this equipment, you can meet your production needs within your timeline and at a price that works for your budget.

What Can Cat Payload Technology Do?

At Caterpillar, we've addressed some of your biggest payload challenges with our integrated equipment technology. Cat® Payload technology is integrated into many of our Next Generation machines, including our dump trucks. Features include:

• Active load weighing: As the dump truck runs, it tracks payload data to assist operators in loading to the target level. This data also helps users lower their cycle times.
• Easy-to-read cab display: Operators can easily see data as it comes in with a user-friendly display inside the cab. Look at data like weights, load counts and material movement. Payload lamps and a convenient external scoreboard display allow users to view load status. 
• Valuable reporting: The reporting side of Cat Payload allows you to view key performance indicators (KPIs) like truckload counts, daily tonnage and tons per hour. You can also see this data online because Cat Payload syncs with our reporting platform. 

With everything Payload can do, it can bring numerous improvements to your job sites.

The Benefits of Adding Cat Payload Technology to Your Fleet

With Payload's smart features, the technology comes with several benefits. When it's integrated into a dump truck, you can:

• Eliminate out-of-range loading: Loading your dump truck over its payload leads to worn tires and components that can slow your truck down. Underloading can reduce efficiency because you have to make more trips between points A and B. Payload technology helps operators hit the payload target every time, so you get the most from your dump truck on each trip. 
• Improve speed: With live payload feedback delivered to the in-cab display, your dump truck keeps moving and working to its full potential. Accomplish more work in less time.
• Reduce costs: Errors on the work site can lead to costly corrections. With Payload, operators can be more accurate with their hauling processes. Fewer mistakes also mean less downtime dedicated to making corrections.
• Increase productivity: With comprehensive reports about your payload, you can determine points in the day where you slowed down. Make informed decisions about your workflow and boost productivity across the board.
• Boost operator efficiency: Staying connected to operator information can help each worker improve their processes. Say goodbye to rough estimations about project time, and make individual adjustments as needed.
• Make your site safer: When a load is bigger than it should be, a dump truck risks spilling. Spills can be a safety hazard, especially when your materials are heavy. With a precisely measured load, you can eliminate spills and protect everyone on your crew.

When you rent a dump truck with Cat Payload technology, you can reap all the benefits of this system while enjoying the advantages of renting. You only have to invest in a rental dump truck as you need it, allowing you to stick with your budget. Use a rental to bolster your fleet for unique projects or boost your productivity when your schedule is packed.
