Abbreviation Meaning?

Dalton Key · 2018-10-09 01:28

I was browsing the CAT website and looking at the new models and specs, and came across some sort of abbreviations at the end of the dozer models; and I’m just curious what they stand for what the difference in each model. What does the “ A ”, “ S ”, “ SU ” & “ VPAT ” stand for in these different models? LGP A LGP S LGP VPAT XL A XL SU XL VPAT XW A XW SU XW VPAT

    These are all abbreviations of the bulldozer blade type.

    You must be looking at D6 machines, VPAT actually means variable pitch power angle and tilt, they also come with PAT blades . Good luck Bob
