DUO OF 20 TONNERS

The new generation Cat 950 and 962 wheel loaders feature simple-to-use operator aids to boost their operating efficiency. Using the new Autodig sub-system, the operator can now fully automate bucket loading to improve fill factors and loading times. Working in combination with the new Auto Set Tires sub-system, it significantly reduces tyre slip and wear. The Advanced Payload with Assist sub-system includes Tip Off Assist, which automates the load adjustment of the final bucket to match target truck weight.

New application profiles give operators the ability to set customised profiles for specific applications at the touch of a button, optimising loader settings for the job in hand.

The ultra-low emissions Cat C7.1 engine drives through a five-speed transmission with a single clutch and lock-to-lock shifting, resulting in faster acceleration and speed on grades. The new loaders offer improved traction with standard front manual differential locks, while optional automatic front and rear differential locks are available.

Depending on region, the 950 and 962 models are equipped with either conventional or optimised Z-bar linkages. The standard Z-bar design delivers high breakout force at ground level. The optimised Z-bar linkage offers parallel lift capability for precise attachment control as well as providing high breakout force at ground level.

Cat’s Performance series buckets are matched to these linkages, resulting in higher fill factors and better material retention. The Cat Fusion quick coupler offers quick, safe and easy attachment changes, without the operator leaving the cab.

The new loaders can be factory built for specific applications, including industrial and waste-handling variants with additional guarding and reinforcement, or forestry models with increased lift and tilt capabilities.

IN THE CAB

Sound suppression, seals and viscous cab mounting decrease noise levels and vibration feedback to the operator.

A conventional steering wheel is included in the standard build, while a seat-mounted electro-hydraulic joystick steering system is available as an option. Other options include a multi-camera system, a rear-facing radar detection sub-system, together with various access, service and work lights.

Wirelessly connecting the machine to the office, Product Link gives access to production and essential machine health information for making fact-based decisions. Connecting the machine to a Cat dealer’s service department, Remote Troubleshoot helps to efficiently diagnose problems.

Ensuring the new loaders operate with the most up to date software, Remote Flash pushes software updates to the machine in the background and installation can be initiated by the operator in a safe manner, reducing impact on production schedules. The Cat app helps to manage fleet location, hours and maintenance schedules and provides alerts for required maintenance.
