The next generation of Cat 926, 930, and 938 small wheel loaders offer a full range of new technologies and features to improve safety, simplify operation and reduce the overall lifecycle costs of the machines.
"The small wheel loader portfolio, they are the Swiss Army knife of machines, and our challenge is to be able to configure them for success in a huge variety of applications,” said Joel Grimes, Cat wheel loader global product and application expert.
The new loaders offer industry-specific configurations targeted to agriculture, waste, forestry, aggregate and snow removal applications.
"Of course, you can buy them from us configured specific to an industry, specific to an application, but you can also as a dealer-installed kit in some cases, do it yourself or reconfigure them through the aftermarket space," he said.
Regardless of the application, Grimes said one of the questions he likes to ask globally is, what is one of the challenges in revenue growth? Safety universally comes up the most.
“Caterpillar is a very safety-focused company. Our dealers are very safety focused and our customers expect that we help to lead in this space,” Grimes said, noting that the new small wheel loaders offer new safety innovations, some standard and some optional.
Second to safety is the technology and general operation of the machine.
