Overview

Versatile and Efficient for the Toughest Applications

Save money and transport time with one machine for land clearing, digging, grading, truck loading, slope work and more. With track loaders you get lower ground pressure and better traction so you can start earlier and work longer in soft underfoot conditions. Cat® Track Loaders bring you all of this, plus improved performance and fuel efficiency.

Features At A Glance

ONE MACHINE, MANY JOBS

Largest track loader in the industry provides the power, breakout force and capacity to take on tough construction utility, forestry and quarry jobs.
Specialized Steel Mill configuration factory equipped to withstand high temperatures and steel mill conditions – handle hot slag with ease and safety.
Purpose-built Waste Handler features added guarding and seals, specialized air handling, plus a choice of track shoes and buckets to take on the challenges of landfill and transfer station work.
Quick coupler option adds versatility by allowing easy use of forks, buckets, etc. from wheel loaders and other machines.

DO MORE WITH LESS FUEL

Reduce your fuel costs, using 10-25 percent less fuel per hour than the previous model.
Move up to 10 percent more material per hour with optional Performance Series bucket.
Easier maintenance and repair with a tilt cab and convenient service access points.
Demand fan provides efficient cooling plus easy service/ clean-out access.
Manage your fleet more effectively and profitably through remote monitoring with Product Link™/ VisionLink®.

BUILT TO PERFORM

Smoother implement and steering response, and improved steering performance over the previous model.
Precise, responsive performance with features like load sensing hydraulics and position sensing cylinders.
Power and fast response under load with a Cat C9.3 engine.
Reduced engine noise compared to the 973D – quieter for the operator and others around the work site.

EASY TO OPERATE

Updated cab offers operator comforts like suspension seat, adjustable armrests and controls, and an improved air conditioning system.
Choose either joystick or two-lever implement controls to match operator preference or application.
Speed/steering controls available as either a joystick or as v-lever and foot pedals.
Emissions reduction technology is designed so regeneration runs automatically in the background while you work.
New handles and steps help operators climb on and off the machine more easily, from the front or the back of the tracks.
Excellent visibility to the bucket and all around the machine enhances safety and helps operators work more confidently.
