The new High Drive Cat® D7 dozer delivers improved performance and unmatched productivity-enhancing technology

A fully automatic 4-speed transmission offers optimum fuel and dozer efficiency, and ease of operation. With 197 kW (265 hp) and an operating weight of 29,776 kg (65,644 lbs), the new D7 dozer replaces the D7E. 

New valuable generation

The D7 moves up to 8 percent more material per hour than the D7E, with about 6 percent more weight and 12 percent more horsepower. Blade capacity has been increased by 10 percent, and the undercarriage with raised gears provides better handling and balance, as well as greater penetration force.

Like the D6 and D8T, the new D7 is powered by a fully automatic 4-speed transmission. The smooth-shifting transmission continuously adjusts for maximum efficiency and power to the ground without additional operator intervention.

The completely redesigned cab, as on the D5 and D6/D6 XE, raises the bar in terms of comfort and productivity. Operators will find more space, multiple seat and operator adjustments for optimal comfort and a user-friendly 254 mm (10-inch) touchscreen operator interface. A standard high-definition rearview camera is clearly displayed on the main display.

Unparalleled technological capabilities

The D7 leads the industry with a variety of technology offerings that are easy to use and help customers get the most out of an equipment investment. Slope Indicate comes standard with the premium display package, which shows the machine's head drop and cross slope for easy reference.

ARO with support is a ready-to-use option bundled with basic blade controls and a new set of support functions that work in the background to help operators get more done in less time.

• Cat Grade with Slope Assist™ provides basic blade positioning support without additional hardware or a GPS signal. The updated main display makes the system more intuitive and user-friendly.
•  The default option Attachment Ready Option (ARO). provides optimal mounting locations, brackets and hardware and simplifies installation of any brand of leveling system.
• Blade Load Monitor provides real-time feedback on flow versus optimal blade load to optimize blade capacity.¹
• Stable Blade of the second generation works seamlessly with the operator's blade input for smoother surfaces.
• Traction Control automatically reduces track slip to save time, fuel and track wear.¹
• AutoCarry Automates blade lifting to maintain a consistent blade load and reduce track slippage.¹

Customers can also use the standard integrated Cat Grade with 3D add. Advanced inertial measurement units (IMU) provide greater speed and accuracy without position sensing cylinders. Small antennas are integrated into the cab roof for better protection, and GPS receivers are mounted inside so they can be secured by locking the cab doors. An intuitive 254 mm (10-inch) operator interface works like a smartphone, making it easy for operators to get away from it quickly. Android OS platform allows installation of custom apps for more versatility.

Ready for remote operation

The D7 is standard equipped for remote operation. Internal components are integrated into machine systems and an external connector allows dealer installation of a plug-and-play roof-mounted remote control. Cat Command for Dozing² provides a remote control solution for improved safety and higher productivity and is offered as a command console for line-of-sight (LOS) remote control, or with a command station for LOS and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) remote control (available late 2021).

Connect with greater efficiency

Cat Link telematics technology simplifies site management by collecting data on equipment, materials and people and presenting that data in customizable formats.

• Product Link™ automatically and accurately collects data from equipment -- of any type and brand -- that can be viewed online via Web and mobile applications.
• Get anytime, anywhere access with VisionLink^®. Cat dealers can help you put together a customized subscription, available with mobile or satellite reporting or both.
• The Cat App helps manage assets - at any time - directly from a smartphone.
• Remote Troubleshoot Saves time and money by allowing the Cat dealer to perform diagnostic tests remotely. Remote Flash updates built-in software without a technician present, at a convenient time, potentially reducing update time by up to 50 percent.
• Application Profile and Operator ID help save time by saving preferred machine settings.
• Machine Security - Passcode provides an optional additional level of security by requiring an operator to enter an ID before the machine starts.

Equipped to get the job done

The D7 is available in standard or low ground pressure (LGP) configurations, with a variety of blade and track plates to optimize the machine for the intended application.

The D7 can also be ordered with specialized monitoring to meet the challenges of Waste/landfill operations and Forestry/land clearing handle. In addition to machine protection from impact and airborne debris, these special dozers can be ordered with an impact-resistant cab, application-specific undercarriage and a special blade.
