Choose WHEEL LOADERS 966L section:
RELIABILITY
The Cat® C9.3 ACERT ™ engine provides increased power density.
The use of rigorous design of the components and processes of validation of machines ensures unsurpassed reliability, durability and long uptime.
STRENGTH
Reinforced under-shift transmission and axles withstand extreme operating conditions.
Improved hydraulic hose routing reduces potential hose wear.
Full-flow hydraulic filtration system with additional loop filtering improves the reliability of the hydraulic system and the life of the components.
EFFICIENCY
Increasing engine power by about 10% improves machine performance and response (compared to the H series).
Torque converter with locking clutch in combination with the switching between the latches provides a smooth gear shift, fast acceleration and speed on a slope.
High-performance torque converter improves digging efficiency.
Z-joint provides high breakout force at ground level.
The optional high-lift linkage provides an increased hinge pin height, which facilitates loading in various applications.
The easily loaded buckets of the Performance series have a wider neck and curved side plates, which improve material retention (fill factor) and shorten the cycle time.
An optional fully automatic traction control system (differential lock) improves heap performance and poor foot conditions.
The optional Aggregation Handler configuration offers a slightly higher payload for free processing of aggregates. *
* Additional configurations and equipment may vary by region and require compliance with the Caterpillar payload policy. Consult your dealer or Caterpillar representative.
FUEL EFFICIENCY
Fuel consumption is up to 15% lower than the H series. **
The powerful ACERT engine burns less fuel, providing power and torque when needed.
Performance buckets have a longer floor that digs easily into the heap, resulting in lower fuel consumption.
Load-sensing hydraulics provide proportional flow for the unit and steering on demand.
Standard economy mode provides maximum fuel economy with minimal impact on performance.
** Actual results may vary depending on factors such as, among other things, machine configuration, operator technique, machine application, climate, etc.
EASY OPERATION
The new best-in-class operator environment provides unsurpassed comfort, visibility and efficiency.
Intuitive, ergonomic controls allow operators to focus on their work.
The optional new two-battery ride control system provides superior ride quality and reduces cab vibration.
SECURITY
Excellent access to the cabin with a wide door and staircase steps.
Floor-to-ceiling windshield, large mirrors with built-in point mirrors and a rear-view camera provide industry-leading all-round visibility.
Durable rearranged handrails provide secure access to the machine.
PERFORMANCE
One-piece hinged hood with side and rear doors; Hydraulic and electrical service centers make access quick and easy.
Safe, ground-level access to gas stations and daily maintenance points means that less time is required for maintenance.
The optional, fully integrated Cat Autolube system provides full monitoring of the lubrication system and an overview of diagnostic tests.
CAT CONNECT TECHNOLOGY
Monitoring, management and improvement of the site.
Cat LINK Technology: VisionLink® allows owners to wirelessly access data to monitor the condition, use, and location of the machine.
Cat DETECT technology: a built-in rearview camera improves visibility behind the machine, helping operators work safely. Optional detection of objects behind the Cat increases operator awareness of the working environment, which increases safety on site.
Cat PAYLOAD Technologies: The optional Cat Production Measurement 2.0 provides a simple and accurate on-line payload scale that allows operators to deliver accurate loads and work more efficiently. Subscribing to Advanced Productivity provides comprehensive, helpful information that helps you manage and improve the performance and profitability of your operations.
