Medium Wheel Loaders 966 GC

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.

Sustainability

The Cat® C9.3B engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, Korea Tier 5, China Nonroad Stage IV and Japan 2014 emission standards.
Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) * or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details.
The Cat® clean emissions module includes Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technologies to reduce the engine’s emissions.
Engine Idle Management System (EIMS) helps maximize fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining machine performance. EIMS provides three standard idle control settings for the machine - hibernate mode, work mode, and transmission engaged work mode.
Engine Idle Shutdown Timer reduces fuel burn, greenhouse gas emissions and unnecessary idle time by shutting down the machine after a pre-set idling period.
Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine.
Cat® Payload technology maximizes loading efficiency, helping operators of every skill level work more accurately to reduce load time, fuel costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Upgrade to Advanced Payload for expanded features and capabilities that can further increase operator efficiency and accuracy.
Cat® Reman parts are a sustainable choice. New Cat parts are designed with the potential to have more than one life, so Cat Reman parts are truly remanufactured — not just repaired, rebuilt or reconditioned. Because the process ensures the latest design changes are incorporated into Cat Reman parts, you get like new quality and outstanding performance at lower cost.

*Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel.
