Powerful, productive and built to make an operator’s life easier and more efficient, the new Cat 980-982 and 980 XE-982 XE mid-size wheel loaders were redesigned to better align with today’s business needs. Both versions offer distinct advantages when it comes to maintenance and productivity.

 

Easier, lower-cost maintenance

  • Extended fluid and filter change intervals reduce maintenance costs by up to 25%.
  • Convenient access to hydraulic and electrical service centres for easy and safe servicing.
  • Remote Troubleshoot connects the machine to the dealer service department to help diagnose problems quickly so you can get back to work.

 

Wheel loaders with increased productivity

  • The new Autodig system allows the operator to fully automate bucket loading to improve fill factors and loading time.
  • Auto Set Tires promotes proper loading technique, significantly reducing tire slip and tire wear.
  • CPM, or Caterpillar Production Measurement, optional on M-series machines, is now standard on the Next Generation models and provides operators with accurate on-the-go weighing of materials.    
  • Performance Series Buckets will bring up your game even more by improving bucket fill factors and increasing productivity.
  • Continuously variable transmission (CVT) on 980 XE and 982 XE models gives productivity an added boost with smoother, faster acceleration and speed on grade. What’s more, the CVT provides maximum, steady power at optimal speeds.

Significant fuel economy on XE versions

 

The deep system integration of the Cat continuously variable transmission, engine, hydraulic, and cooling systems results in significantly increased performance and fuel efficiency, with savings up to 35%. Furthermore, eliminating the torque converter allows independent control over engine rpm and machine speed for more efficient digging, finer control and easier operation.
