Equipment Overview
The Cat 963 is a track loader built for construction, land clearing, and truck loading work, part of Caterpillar’s Track Loader range and the direct replacement for the 963K. It delivers 151 kW (202 hp) of net power and a 20,358 kg standard operating weight, suited to digging, grading, slope work, and truck loading on Australian construction and civil sites.
Power comes from a Cat C7.1 diesel engine meeting U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, Japan 2014, and Korea Tier 4 Final emission standards, delivering 15% more peak torque than the previous model. Load-sensing hydraulics and position-sensing cylinders give precise, responsive implement control, and purpose-built Waste Handler and Low Ground Pressure configurations extend the machine into landfill and soft-ground work.
