Equipment Overview
The Cat 249D is a compact track loader built for material handling and truck loading work, a vertical-lift model in Caterpillar’s D Series compact track loader range alongside the 239D, 259D, 279D, and 289D. It delivers 50.1 kW (67.1 hp) of gross power and a 730 kg rated operating capacity, suited to jobs needing extended reach and lift height.
Power comes from a Cat C2.2 turbocharged diesel engine meeting U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage IIIB emission standards, driving a suspended, steel-embedded rubber track undercarriage through a hydrostatic transmission. The vertical-lift boom geometry gives extended reach and lift height for material handling or truck loading, and a standard 69 L/min hydraulic circuit (99 L/min with optional High Flow) powers Cat’s full range of work tools.
