Overview

Move material safely and efficiently

Cat® Large Wheel Loaders are designed with durability built in, ensuring maximum availability through multiple life cycles. With optimized performance and simplified serviceability, our machines allow you to move more material efficiently and safely at a lower cost per ton. The 986 builds upon this legacy of durability, performance, safety, operator comfort, serviceability and sustainability.

Benefits

BETTER FUEL EFFICIENCY

Equipped with a combination of proven components and technologies, meeting expectations for excellent productivity, fuel efficiency, reliability, and service life

LOWER MAINTENANCE COST

Make regular maintenance more convenient with grouped service points

REDUCED FUEL CONSUMPTION

Move more using less fuel with best in class efficiency while in moderate production truck loading mode

LESS CO2 EMISSIONS

The 986 emits up to 19% less CO2 than the previous 988K.
