Equipment Overview
The Cat 962 is a medium wheel loader built for material handling, stockpiling, and truck loading, positioned above the 950 in Caterpillar’s medium wheel loader range. It delivers 201 kW (269 hp) net at 2,100 rpm and a 20,171 kg operating weight, suited to demanding aggregate and quarry work with strong breakout force and tipping loads.
Power comes from a Cat C7.1 engine meeting Tier 4 Final/EU Stage V/Japan 2014 emission standards, driving a 5-speed automatic countershaft powershift transmission with a lock-up clutch torque converter for smooth gear changes and quick acceleration. Performance Series buckets combined with the Z-bar linkage give high fill factors and strong breakout force, and Cat Payload with Autodig and Auto Set Tires help operators load consistently and reduce tyre wear.
