MAXIMIZE PERFORMANCE

Every Tier 4 Final/Stage IV and EU Stage V Cat engine is equipped with a combination of proven electronic, fuel, air and aftertreatment components.
Maximized uptime and reduced cost with world-class support from the Cat dealer network.

AUTOMATIC CONTROLS

Advanced Automatic Traction Control (AATC) proactively applies inter- and cross-axle differential locks ‘on-the-go.’ Operators are freed from this function to concentrate on driving/loading/dumping. Sensors monitor the machine and wheel speeds, enabling instant response in high rolling resistance conditions. Operation is seamless and smooth, eliminating wheel slip for maximum traction and productivity.

HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION

All three axles promote stability using oscillating a-frames with lateral tie rods. Operate at productive speeds with confidence while virtually eliminating impact loads on truck components.
The front suspension oscillates controlled by large-bore, low-pressure cylinders to assist in a smooth ride. An A-frame with lateral tie rod controls sideways movement and aids stability.

OPERATOR COMFORT AND CONTROL

Spacious cab delivers comfort all shift long and is 7dB quieter than prior model.
Unique combination hoist/transmission lever is intuitive and enhances cycle times with fewer control movements.
Trainer/passenger seat is fully padded with wide, retractable seat belt for security and comfort.

BUILT TO PERFORM

Box section front frame absorb is stiff to handle torque loads. Frame design decreases stress at the hitch and optimizes suspension geometry.
Rear frame features twin-box construction minimizing stress points and enhancing service life.
The articulating hitch provides the truck with steering articulation, and the oscillation ensures all-wheel ground contact in rough terrain.

TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS WORK DONE

Cat Product Link wirelessly connect you to your equipment, giving you valuable insight into how your machine or fleet is performing. The system tracks location, hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, and diagnostic codes through the online VisionLink user interface so you can make timely, fact-based decisions to maximize efficiency, improve productivity, and lower costs.

BECAUSE UPTIME COUNTS

Caterpillar design, manufacturing and customer service help ensure peak performance and uptime.
Long service intervals keep your machine operating.
Lubrication points are grouped near the hitch for fast, easy routine maintenance.
Universal joints are sealed and lubed for long life.

MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Caterpillar designs and functions with great concern for the environment.
Cat C18 engine incorporates the Cat Clean Emission Module (CEM) to meet Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emission standards. The system uses both Ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel or up to B20 bio-diesel blended with ULSD.

BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES

Seat belt in use indicator (four-point seat belt available as an option)
Operator presence detection (prevents gear engagement when operator is not seated)
Additional mirror for front of machine visibility
Cab mounted, wide angled, folding mirrors
Heated mirrors (optional)

Optimal Loader/Truck Pass Matching

Wheel Loader: 980 - Passes: 43926
Note: An optimum system match gives you a major productivity advantage. Having matched loading and hauling tools results in increased production and lower system costs per unit of volume moved.
Hydraulic Excavator: 374 - Passes: 5
Wheel Loader: 972 - Passes: 43926
Wheel Loader: 982 - Passes: 4
