Equipment Overview
The Cat 992 is a large mining-class wheel loader that has set the standard in its size class for more than 50 years, part of Caterpillar’s large wheel loader range designed for quarry face and mine loading. It delivers 607 kW (814 hp) net at 1,750 rpm and a 105,882 kg operating weight, with both standard and high-lift configurations offering the ideal pass match for fleets of Cat 775, 777, and 785 haul trucks.
Power comes from a Cat C32B engine delivering 4,765 N·m of peak torque, meeting U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final or Tier 2 Equivalent emission standards. Compared to the previous 992K, the current 992 delivers up to 48% more efficiency and 32% more productivity through higher payload, 9.5% more rimpull, and 20% more breakout force, driven by a Cat Planetary Powershift transmission (3F/3R) with an Impeller Clutch Torque Converter and lock-up clutch.
