Information

Additional information

Make	Caterpillar
Model	982, 982M
Weight	36 t
Bucket	6.1 m3

Equipment Overview

The Cat 982 is a large wheel loader built to push harder and load faster across heavy construction, mining, and industrial work, positioned above the 980 in Caterpillar’s large wheel loader range. It delivers 301 kW (404 hp) net at 1,700 rpm and a 35,510 kg operating weight, suited to demanding jobsites needing rugged, purpose-built frames and axles.

Power comes from a Cat C13 engine meeting Tier 4 Final/EU Stage V/Japan 2014 emission standards, delivering 2,054 N·m of net torque through an automatic planetary powershift transmission (4F/4R) with lock-up clutch. The 982 is a great 2-pass match for larger on-highway trucks in rehandling applications and a strong performer in bank excavation and face loading, with Autodig and Auto Set Tires delivering up to 10% more productivity through consistent high bucket fill factors.
