Medium Wheel LoadersNon-Current
Overview
Cat® medium wheel loaders are an essential tool for any construction, quarry, aggregate, industrial or waste jobsite. For more than 60 years, they've been built to withstand tough conditions and tasks like bank loading, material handling, truck loading, hopper feeding, and stockpiling. Medium wheel loaders are compatible with Caterpillar work tools like the Cat Performance Series Buckets. Together these can improve material retention, reduce dig times, and enhance fill factors. Additionally, advanced technologies such as Cat Payload, Cat Detect, and Cat Command drive to improve site safety, manage payload, and operate machines remotely in hazardous environments.
