Benefits & Features

Loader Versatility

Loader

The powerful Cat 446B means business - in a big way.

Loader Work Tools

Loader work tools enhance machine utilization and versatility with work tools. The Cat hydraulic broom makes cleanup a breeze. The multi-purpose bucket increases machine utilization. An optional hydraulic Quick Coupler is available for the Cat 446B.

Operator Station

Visibility

First and foremost, you can see what you're doing. Easily, clearly. A narrow boom and silicone window joints enhance visibility.

Operator controls

The Cat 446B backhoe loader provides smooth, precise control, and ease-of-operation.

Autoshift Transmission

The Cat 446B backhoe loader has been fitted with a manual/autoshift transmission as a standard installation.

Sound

The exterior sound pressure level for the standard machine measured at a distance of 49.2 feet (15 meters) per test procedures specified in SAE J88 Jun 86, mid-gear-moving operation is 76 dB(A).

Air-suspension Seat

A new air-suspension seat is standard on the 446B machine. And attention to detail is evident everywhere, from exterior striping and color schemes to classy interior black and gray - even the easy-to-clean floor mat.

Caterpillar 3114T Turbocharged Engine

Power Train

Designed for strength, performance, and versatility. Easy, on-the-go shifting between all gears, two- and all-wheel drive. A single lever controls both direction and speed for improved operator efficiency.

Front Axle

Large diameter, double-acting steering cylinder resists bending and is well protected.

Hydraulics

Provides full hydraulic lifting and digging forces at any engine speed. Variable flow, high-capacity pump exactly matches hydraulic power (flow and pressure) to match work demands for reduced fuel consumption; provides multi-function capability.

Heavy-duty main frame

Fully welded, one-piece frame absorbs stress and minimizes shock loads to the power train.

Caterpillar Autoshift Transmission

The Autoshift transmission allows direction and speed changes to be made with a single lever.

Brakes

Fully enclosed, hydraulic, multiple discs.

Excavator-style backhoe

Extendible stick

Dig deeper and reach further with the Caterpillar extendible stick. This optional backhoe attachment replaces the standard stick and increases

Work Tools

For greater machine versatility, add the optional mechanical Quick Coupler - you'll change work tools quickly and easily.

Backhoe buckets

Caterpillar backhoe buckets offer superior value in a highly durable product.

Load-sensing Hydraulic System

Hydraulics

You don't work at full production all the time - so the Caterpillar variable-flow system senses the work demand and adjusts flow and pressure to match it.

Caterpillar XT hoses

Caterpillar XT hoses are used for high pressure applications to substantially reduce downtime from hose failure.
