Benefits & Features

Parallel Lift Loader Linkage

Optimized Z-bar Linkage

    The new optimized patent-pending Z-bar linkage combines the digging efficiency of a traditional Z-bar with tool carrier capabilities for great performance and versatility.
    • Parallel lift and high tilt forces throughout the working range help you safely and confidently handle loads with precise control.
    • Linkage features excellent visibility to the bucket cutting edge and fork tips.
    • High Lift version is also available.

Industry Leading Operator Station

Best Seat on the Job Site

    Enjoy all day comfort in the spacious new K Series cab:
    • Extremely low sound levels.
    • Superior visibility to the work tool due to wide curved windshield, redesigned Z-bar linkage, lines routing and work tool design.
    • Automatic climate control.
    • A heated and ventilated seat option is available for added comfort in a wide range of climates.
    • Seat-mounted, ergonomic joystick for lift and tilt functions. Joystick includes integrated Forward/Neutral/Reverse switch, differential lock trigger and optional third and fourth function auxiliary hydraulics.
    • Easy access to the cab with ergonomically placed grab rails, walk-up steps and large platform.

Easy to Use Instrument Panel and Display

    An optional* secondary display provides easy access to vital machine parameters and works in conjunction with the standard soft touch panel to allow real time adjustments.
    • Machine information and diagnostics at a glance.
    • Real time and historic fuel usage.
    • Backup camera display.
    • Help button plus 22 language capability.
    • Adjustment of functions such as creep, third function flow, throttle and rimpull.
    *Standard feature in Europe.

Power Train

Intelligent Power Management

The Caterpillar exclusive Intelligent Power Management system actively monitors operator input and power availability to keep the machine working at peak efficiency.

Engine

    The Cat® C6.6 ACERT™ engine provides cleaner, quieter operation while delivering superior performance and durability. The engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage IIIB emission requirements. Maximum engine speed is now 1,800 rpm for reduced fuel consumption and lower sound levels. The engine also features:
    • Passive regeneration system - designed to manage itself so you don't have to.
    • Diesel particulate filter that is matched to the anticipated engine overhaul life.
    • Class-leading fuel efficiency, significantly reducing owning and operating costs.
    • Configurable auto idle shut down feature as standard equipment.

Transmission

    A smooth, step-less electronically controlled hydrostatic transmission provides adjustable power to the ground and superb groundspeed control for a multitude of tasks.
    • Four speed ranges ensure maximum controllability for any task.
    • Rimpull control enables you to match available tractive power to underfoot conditions, helping reduce tire wear.
    • Creeper control lets you adjust machine groundspeed when using work tools such as brooms, snow blowers and brushcutters.
    • Throttle lock feature allows you to maintain constant engine RPM regardless of machine speed.

Axles and Brakes

Fully locking front differential axles are standard and can be engaged at full torque on the go with a button on the joystick. Limited slip differentials are optional on the rear. Brake system includes independent service brakes on front and rear axles and a spring applied, electronically activated park brake.

Hydraulics

Load-Sensing Hydraulic System

    K Series machines feature a new electro-hydraulic control system that is governed by the Intelligent Power Management system. The load-sensing, variable flow system senses work demand and adjusts flow and pressure to match. This allows full hydraulic forces at any engine speed.
    • Programmable in-cab kick-outs are easy to set on the go for tilt, lower and lift. This feature is ideal for applications where the work cycle is repeatable.
    • Caterpillar exclusive electro-hydraulic snubbing at programmed kickouts and rack/dump stops greatly improves operator comfort and component life in addition to improved material retention.
    • Adjustable third function flow through the secondary display (when equipped) for use with hydro-mechanical work tools.
    • Optional Ride Control System provides an even smoother ride and excellent material retention.
    • Designed with dedicated pumps for steering and implements so there is no compromise in cycle times and effi ciency for multi-function operation.

Work Tools

The Right Tool for the Job

An extensive range of work tools and bucket styles are available to make your Cat Wheel Loader one of the most versatile machines on the job site.

Performance Series Buckets

Performance Series Buckets utilize a system-based approach to balance bucket shape with the machine's linkage, weight, lift and tilt capacities. They deliver higher fill factors and better material retention for significant productivity and fuel efficiency improvements. The buckets feature a longer floor, open throat and curved side bars.
