Caterpillar compact wheel loaders

The Next Generation Cat® 906, 907 and 908 compact wheel loaders from Caterpillar, Deerfield, Ill., features a new Cat C2.8 engine. The hydraulics and structures have gone through an overhaul, the company says. The loaders include new sealed and pressurized cabs while keeping previous design functional aspects like raised floor pedals and two doors to make cab cleaning easier. Optimum visibility is achieved with larger standard side mirrors, optional parabolic lens electric and heated mirrors, and front and rear camera options. Seat-mounted controls are designed to improve operating ergonomics of the new loaders.

The Tier 4 engine delivers the same 74-hp gross power as the previous engine with 13 percent more torque. A shift-on-the-go transmission offers increased roading speeds of 25 mph and the machines have larger fuel tank capacities.
