2025 Caterpillar Medium Wheel Loaders 962
Easy Operation, Excellent PerformanceThe Cat® 962 Wheel Loader brings premium performance with simple-to-use technologies, helping to boost operator efficiencies and deliver consistent high bucket fill factors, resulting in highly efficient productivity. Long service intervals help to reduce your downtime. This machine is designed to meet emission standards without interrupting operation, delivering great performance, reliability, durability, and versatility, resulting in a machine that is built to meet your needs.
Features may include:- Cat® Command remote control enables equipment operators to work safely outside the machine when working in hazardous environments. Command offers the choice of handheld Consoles* (line-of-sight) or long-distance virtual Stations (non-line-of-sight). Deep integration with machine systems enables efficiency and productivity by maintaining the use of in-cab technology* features (Payload, Assist, etc.).
- Equipped with automatic Cat regeneration system, Cat Clean Emissions Module (CEM) with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank and pump.
- Automatic countershaft powershift (5F/3R) transmission with lock-up clutch torque converter as standard features durable, long-lasting components.
- Easily adjustable seat and suspension for outstanding operator comfort. It comes in three trim levels and can be equipped with a 4-point harness (kit).
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System allows operator to easily monitor tire pressure from the main machine display helping to improve machine performance, operator ride and operating costs.
