 Hydraulics
System provides high efficiency with low effort, precise control.

Proven Design
Time tested hydraulic system provides low effort operation and
superior control. Fast loader cycle times help you get more
done.
Dual Hydraulic Pumps System
Load-sensing steering pump provides outstanding response
during heavy and light duty operations.
High output implement pump provides all the hydraulic power
required to move loads at all engine speeds.
Ride Control
The optional Ride Control System provides a comfortable ride
and excellent material retention.
Nitrogen charged accumulator enables optimum cushioning over
uneven terrain for all loads and speeds.
The system operates in Automatic – as the loader ground speed
exceeds 5 km/h the system will activate, below 5 km/h the
system is off providing maximum lift power.

Loader Linkage
Strong design delivers superior
performance.
Z-Bar Design
Z-bar linkage generates excellent breakout force and good
rack back angle for better bucket loading and load retention.
Lift arms are solid steel, providing superior strength with an
excellent front end viewing area. The proven design offers
excellent dump clearance and reach for exceptional truck
loading performance.

Cat Buckets are built for high performance.

The Right Bucket for the Job

Caterpillar offers a variety of buckets to meet your specific job
requirements. Careful match of the bucket design and machine
operating characteristics provide the best digging, loading and
carrying performance.
General Purpose Buckets
Caterpillar general purpose buckets, available in 1.8 m3 and
2.1 m3 capacities with bolt-on cutting edge, are suitable for
most general applications. Features include:
• Improved bucket design with longer floor and a larger radius
for easier flow of material into the bucket.
• Patented Two-Bolt Corner Guard Cutting Edge System for
superior wear resistance, better stability and a simple bolt-on
system.
• Built-in, replaceable heel wear plates for extended bucket life.
Sand and Gravel Bucket
This 1.7 m3 heavy duty material handling bucket, built with
additional wear plates on the floor and sides, is engineered for
ready mix or batch plant applications with plant capacity of
200 tons per hour.
Ground Engaging Tools
Ground engaging tools include hardened steel cutting edges,
choice of short or long teeth and a variety of tooth adapters.
These tools optimize performance, improve load retention and
extend the useful life of Caterpillar buckets.
Versatility
For expanded machine versatility, other special purpose buckets
are also available. Contact your Caterpillar dealer for details.

 Serviceability
Easy access and minimal maintenance requirements keep
your machine on the job.
Convenient service features make maintenance easy
All service points are accessible from ground level on the right
side of the engine. Gull-wing doors with gas struts lift for
exceptional access to filters and service points. Extended service
intervals reduce service time and increase machine availability.
• Sight gauges let you easily check radiator coolant, hydraulic
oil and transmission oil levels as well as engine air filter
restriction without opening the air cleaner.
• Standard pressure taps allow quick diagnosis of the entire
hydraulic system.
• S•O•SSM ports make oil sampling quicker, cleaner and provide
the best oil sample for analysis.
• Spin-on filters for engine oil, transmission oil and hydraulic
oil are vertically mounted for easier servicing.
• 924Hz features a standard electronic fuel prime pump.
• Sequentially placed radiator and oil coolers are easy to access.
• Swing-out cooling fan allows quick and easy cleaning and
servicing of the radiator. The fan is hydraulically driven and
separate from the engine compartment for low noise operation.
• Optional reversing fan cleans screens without interrupting
machine operation.

Customer Support
Unmatched support makes the
difference
Your Cat dealer is ready to assist you with your
purchase decision and everything after.
• Make comparisons of machines, with estimates of
component life, preventative maintenance and cost of
production.
• Financing packages are flexible to meet your needs.
• Your Cat dealer can evaluate the cost to repair, rebuild and
replace your machine, so you can make the right choice.
