Offering more power, a new cab, great fuel efficiency and legendary Cat® durability the 950L wheel loader delivers the performance you expect from a Cat machine. A 5-speed countershaft transmission offers smoother shifts, faster acceleration and increased travel speed to increase your productivity.
Lock-up clutch torque converter, combined with lock-to-lock shifting, delivers smooth shifts, fast acceleration and speed on grade. High capacity torque converter results in greater digging efficiency.
New best-in-class operator environment provides unmatched comfort, visibility, and efficiency. Controls are easy to use, intuitive, and user-friendly.
Engine burns less fuel by providing power and torque when needed. Load sensing hydraulics result in proportional flow for implement and steering on demand. Machine equipped with easy to load buckets.
