Engcon Announces DC3 Control System Compatibility with Cat® Wheeled Excavators

Engcon, the world’s leading manufacturer of tiltrotators, proudly announces that starting February 2026, its next-generation DC3 control system will be compatible with Caterpillar Next Gen (NG) wheeled excavators.

In addition to Cat’s crawler excavators, the M314 NG–M322 NG models now support rapid and seamless installation of engcon tiltrotators. This is made possible by the combination of engcon’s DC3 system and Cat’s Software Enabled Attachment (SEA) technology. Built on a completely new hardware and software platform, DC3 simplifies installation and optimizes machine interface, delivering superior performance compared to traditional aftermarket solutions.

“With global demand for our products rising, it’s crucial to make our tiltrotators more accessible and easier to install. Our goal is to ensure customers can unlock the full potential of both the tiltrotator and the machine, making it easier to enter the tiltrotator market worldwide,” says Sam Ryan, Global OEM Manager at engcon.

This move reflects a broader industry trend, as OEMs make advanced attachments more accessible. By enabling operators to fully utilize all functions, engcon’s DC3 system increases efficiency, productivity, and machine versatility, helping excavators get the job done faster.
