Equipment Overview
The Cat 252 is a radial-lift skid steer loader built for excellent digging performance and outstanding drawbar power, part of Caterpillar’s long-running skid steer loader range. It delivers 71 hp from a Cat turbo diesel engine and a 1,202 kg rated operating capacity, suited to general construction and material handling work.
Power comes from a Cat C3.4 DIT turbocharged diesel engine driving a 2-speed hydrostatic transmission through 100HS continuous roller chains. A radial-lift loader boom design suits mid-range digging and truck loading work, and a standard hydraulic system delivering 77 L/min at 230 bar powers a wide range of attachments.
