RELIABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON

Cat C7.1 engine offers increased power density with a combination of proven electronic fuel and air systems.
Equipped with automatic Cat regeneration system, Cat clean emissions module (CEM) with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank and pump (Tier 4 Final, Stage IV, and Stage V only).

LONG TERM VALUE AND DURABILITY

Tough transmission and axles handle extreme applications.
Automatic powershift (5F/3R) transmission features durable, long-lasting components.
Full-flow hydraulic filtration system with additional loop filtration improves hydraulic system strength and component life.
Full hydraulic enclosed wet-disc with Integrated Braking System (IBS) and brake wear indicators add valued safety on the job.

ACHIEVE GREATER PRODUCTIVITY

Increased engine power resulting in improved machine performance and response.
With 5-speed transmission and lock-up clutch torque converter, power trains deliver smooth shifting, fast acceleration, and speed on grade for greater performance and fuel efficiency.
Optimized Z-bar linkage provides high breakout force at ground level along with excellent parallelism for precise work tool control.

DO MORE WITH LESS FUEL

Deep system integration results in lower fuel consumption.
Significantly more fuel efficient than both the H and K Series loaders.
Power dense engine burns less fuel by providing power and torque when needed.
Significantly improved performance and fuel economy through engine speed and overall system heat load reduction.

TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS WORK DONE

Developed to monitor, manage, and enhance your job site operations.
Payload provides accurate weighing* of the materials you are loading and hauling. Payload data is displayed in real-time to improve productivity and reduce overloading.
Detect enhances awareness of the environment around working equipment and provides alerts to help keep people and assets safe on the job site.

SAFELY HOME EVERY DAY

Cab access with wide door, optional remote door opening, and stair-like steps add solid stability.
Floor-to-ceiling windshield, large mirrors with integrated spot mirrors, and rear-vision camera provide industry leading all-around visibility.
Computerized monitoring system includes several warning indicators.

SAVE ON SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Extended service intervals including -

Engine oil and engine oil filter change interval up to 1000 hours (Tier 4 Final, Stage IV, and Stage V only)
Hydraulic filter change interval up to 1000
Transmission oil change interval up to 2000 hours

One-piece tilting hood makes cab access fast and easy.

DESIGNED FOR OPERATORS

The next generation easily adjustable seat with updated styling and a revolutionary suspension system. It comes in three trim levels and can be equipped with a 4-point harness.
Sound-suppression, seals, and damping cab mounts decrease noise and vibration for a quieter work environment.

PURPOSE BUILT SPECIALTY MODELS

INDUSTRIAL & WASTE
