Features & Benefits

BUILT TO PERFORM
  • The full box-section rear frame helps resist torsional shock and twisting forces.
  • Heavy-duty steering cylinder mounts efficiently transmit steering loads into the frame.
  • Optimized axle mounting helps result in increased structural integrity.
  • Achieve long component life with increased size of upper hitch pin, frame plate, and bearing.
  • Solid through-width push beams transfer and absorb stresses through a larger portion of the frame.
  • Features fully enclosed hydraulic wet disc brakes for improved performance.
  • Robust structures withstand the toughest conditions and multiple lifecycles to help improve your bottom line.
  • In corner dozing, stresses are transferred and absorbed through a larger portion of the frame.
MOVE MORE WITH LESS FUEL
  • The Cat C18 engine is designed for maximum fuel efficiency in the most demanding applications.
