930G^Non-Current

Linkage Design

Versatility is the key benefit of the VersaLink loader linkage. The 930G can be configured in many ways:
• with a Quick Coupler, work tool changes are quick and easy. In this configuration, the versatility of an integrated toolcarrier and the performance of a wheel loader are combined;
• equipped with pin-on tools, like a bucket, you get a dedicated wheel loader, with exceptional breakout force, tipping load and dump height;
• equipped with the High Lift VersaLink loader linkage option, the 930G is ideal for special applications that require more reach and lift height.

Reconfiguration

The VersaLink loader linkage can be reconfigured from pin-on to Quick Coupler or from standard linkage to high lift linkage with a minimum of new parts required.

Outstanding Performance

The VersaLink loader linkage is designed for exceptional loader performance in a wide range of applications, offering:
• increased breakout force to shorten cycle times and increase bucket fill factors;
• higher dump clearance for working in "high target" situations that ordinary loaders cannot;
• more dig depth for better excavation performance, even when equipped with larger 20.5 x 25 tires;
• greater rackback angle for improved material retention, resulting in higher productivity;
• greater dozing angle for improved control of material when fine grading.

Visibility

Visibility to critical areas such as bucket corners and fork tips is optimized for more productive material and pallet handling. The VersaLink loader linkage geometry maximizes visibility throughout the entire production cycle.

Parallel Lift

Parallel lift simplifies working with palletized or stacked material. Operators can concentrate on material placement while the load automatically remains parallel throughout the lift range. And, like an integrated toolcarrier, the 930G can easily manipulate loads.

Exceptional Strength and Durability

The one-piece fabricated box-section design of the VersaLink loader linkage delivers unprecedented torsional loading strength. The result is high rigidity and fewer stress paths for exceptional durability.

High Lift Version

Special applications call for special equipment. The optional High Lift VersaLink loader linkage provides an additional clearance of 19 in (483 mm) and is ideal for jobs that require higher lift of lighter materials such as:
• feedlots
• dairies
• waste transfer stations
• fertilizer producers
• miscellaneous material handling

Productivity

Balanced structural design and exceptional rimpull tuned to powerful implement hydraulics allow fast cycle times and higher productivity.

Optional Dual Mode Steering

The operator can choose traditional steering or select QuickSteer mode with a switch in the cab for faster, extremely low effort truck loading. This mode provides higher productivity and efficiency with less operator fatigue.

Versatility

The hydraulic quick coupler and wide range of Cat Work Tools enable one machine to accomplish the tasks of many. Auxiliary hydraulics allow unparalleled versatility and interchangeability. Adjustable flow third function hydraulics provide proportional control and allow you to efficiently match power to the application. Broom performance demands are optimized to machine ground speed for minimal debris. Packaged third and fourth, as well as fifth and sixth function hydraulics expand work tool and machine capability.

Optional Ride Control System

The optional Ride Control System provides a comfortable ride at all speeds and improves hard bank digging. Three modes are available: auto, on and off. Auto mode is factory set to engage above 6 mph but can be adjusted to any speed. On mode should be used in load and carry applications for ride control at all speeds.

Optional Joystick with Integrated Third Function Controls

Low effort pilot hydraulics operated lift and tilt functions are combined with electrohydraulic transmission forward-neutral-reverse, transmission kick down and integrated third function auxiliary hydraulic controls. Enables operator to maintain control of loader linkage while manipulating hydromechanical tools such as top clamp buckets and forks, side dump buckets and hydraulic brooms. Two modes of operation include:
• Standard Work Tool Mode - Provides intermittent flow to the work tool. Rolling the roller switch upward pressurizes the left side of the auxiliary system, downward activation of the roller switch pressurizes the right side. This system is ideal for top clamps or side dump buckets.
• Continuous Flow Mode - Gradually increases auxiliary hydraulic flow to the work tool when the roller switch is held upward. A momentary downward activation of the roller switch stops the flow.
Adjust the flow rate with a control knob enabling broom speed to be matched to vehicle ground speed or maximum top clamp activation speed.

Variable Displacement Axial Pump

Variable displacement axial pump provides intuitive hydraulic flow. Closed-centered implement valves, with pressure compensation for reduced lever effort, signal hydraulic system requirements to a control valve located on the pump. This valve controls the pump to deliver the flow and pressure necessary to fulfill the implement demands.
