Wheel Loaders

Cat® Wheel Loaders keep your job site moving. Working in applications ranging from landscaping, agricultural, construction, waste management, forestry, or mining applications. Cat wheel loaders make material handling and loading much safer, faster, more precise and profitable. And, your selection of Ground Engaging Tools and wear protection will make a big impact on your performance and productivity. 

Three factors to consider:

• STRENGTH - The ability to withstand digging and penetrating shocks and high breakout forces.
  
• PENETRATION - The ability to penetrate tough material when it’s tightly compacted, rocky or frozen.
  
• WEAR LIFE - The ability to withstand wearing, scouring and abrasive action of the material being handled.

Balancing your desired productivity or penetration with the wear-life of your system is critical. Excessive wear material on the G.E.T. can reduce productivity and increase fuel burn in low impact or low abrasion applications. However, insufficient wear material in high impact or high abrasion applications can have the same effect, as well as increasing stress and wear on major components. Cat hydraulic excavator G.E.T. are designed as a balanced system to increase life and productivity while minimising drag and fuel burn.
