Overview

Performance and availability describe the Cat® 558 Forest Machine. Purpose built, it features extreme-duty component frames that can handle the machine's powerful engine and hydraulics systems ensuring productivity, durability and lower operating costs. Options are available to fit the 538 to your specific forestry tasks.

Up To 35% Higher swing torque

Increased swing torque allows operator to shovel log or load / unload trucks more efficiently, increasing overall machine production.

Up To 12% More cooling capacity

Extended component life through new cooling package that has coarser fin spacing for improved debris flow through and serviceability.

Up To 12% Less fuel consumption

Power and hydraulics optimized for peak productivity and delivering maximum fuel efficiency.

  • PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY

    • Cat C7.1 engine with increased horsepower maintains maximum performance under load
    • Strong hydraulic horsepower for efficient implement performance and greater productivity
    • An increase in swing torque of 17 percent on General Forestry models, provides added power to move trees, which enables more efficiency and productivity
    • Heavy lift mode features increased lift capacity to handle larger payloads with improved control
    • 989 L (261 gal) counterweight fuel tank for extended machine operation and maximum uptime
    • Machine width and track length designed for stability in varied logging applications
    Read More

  • POWERFUL EFFICIENCY

    • Engine, hydraulics, and work tool integration are optimized to minimize power losses and increase overall machine efficiency
    • Steady state high idle speed and U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final technology reduce fuel consumption
    • Larger hydraulic pump allows engine to operate at lower rpms with increased performance to maximize efficiency
    • Component layout and back-to-back main hydraulic control valve reduce oil flow restrictions and aid in greater fuel economy
    • Machine designed for integration and optimization with Cat grapples
    • Powerful, multi-functioning hydraulics, combined with strong machine performance ensure work tools function quickly and smoothly to complete work faster
    Read More

  • EXPAND YOUR CAPABILITIES

    • Boom arrangements and hydraulic systems for specific applications enable more effective road building, loading, processing, shoveling, or millyard stacking
    • New track option meets shovel logging application requirements
    • Purpose built processor cab option that includes 19 mm (0.75 in) front windows
    Read More

  • RELIABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON

    • Variable pitch, reversing cooling fan maintains optimum fluid temperature in heavy duty forestry applications
    • Cooling capacity increased 33 percent for trouble-free operation
    • Purpose built upper frame, high-wide carbody, robust linkage configurations, and heavy-duty enclosures are reinforced with thick doubler plates, extra gussets, and other reinforcements for structural integrity in severe applications
    • Large, 216 mm (8.5 in) pitch (349 HEX), grease lubricated tracks, provide excellent life in variable forestry working conditions
    • Validated and proven excavator technologies ensure overall machine reliability
    Read More

  • SAVE MAINTENANCE TIME

    • One-piece engine hood design, with two opening angles, allows easy access to engine and cooling compartments
    • Side-by-side engine and hydraulic coolers are easy to access for cleaning, while reduced cooling fins per inch allows better debris flow-through and reduced clogging potential
    • 0.71 m³(25 ft³) of storage space at ground level, provides ready access to tools, equipment, and supplies that operators use daily
    Read More

  • DESIGNED FOR OPERATORS

    • Premium fit and finishes to maximize operator experience
    • Fully adjustable, air ride cab seat that includes heating and cooling capability for comfort and reduced operator fatigue
    • LED lights increase visibility
    • Rear entry cab option provides safe access through a fully lit platform through the use of a key FOB
    • Rear entry cab window design improves visibility for shovel logging and other applications
    • Rear entry cab includes a new innovative cab lock down system that minimizes transport time and improves uptime
    • Tool control as standard equipment for swapping and selecting tools quickly and efficiently
    • Cat Product Link™ allows for remote location of a machine and enables tracking of fuel consumption and other events
