CATERPILLAR & TORC ROBOTICS LAUNCH REMOTETASK 

Torc Robotics and Caterpillar announced the availability of the RemoteTask remote control system for Cat D Series Skid Steer, Multi Terrain and Compact Track Loaders.

The RemoteTask system enables operators to precisely control the machines from outside the cab—as far away as 1,000 ft and at a safe distance from potentially hazardous tasks and environments.

RemoteTask can be integrated into 16 models of Cat D Series Skid Steer, Multi Terrain and Compact Track Loaders and can control more than 200 attachments with all hydraulic functions controlled via the remote system.

The RemoteTask remote control system will be available for purchase in North America in January 2016, followed with availability outside of North America later in the year.
