Caterpillar’s new wheeled loader line offers increased output

178 Caterpillar is offering an array of new and upgraded wheeled loaders. The 972M XE and 982M have been updated, with key upgrades being new Cat Connect Technologies. Other improvements include better operator comfort and safety features, as well as features to help reduce operating costs. The new 986K is replacing the earlier H Series model and is said to deliver a low cost/tonne for earthmoving and aggregates applications. Meanwhile the firm is now offering customers the choice of the rugged and durable 950 GC alongside the high specification 950M. The 950 GC is a productive machine without high specification equipment, which is designed to offer wheel loader owners a choice when determining the best machine for an application.
