962K Wheel Loader Engine Engine Model Max Net Power (1,900 rpm) – ISO 9249 Max Net Power (1,900 rpm) – SAE J1349 Cat ® C7.1 ACERT™ 165 kW 221 hp 165 kW 221 hp Buckets Bucket Capacities Weights Operating Weight 2.50 to 9.20 m3 3.25 to 12.00 yd3 20 443 kg 45,055 lb • For 3.3 m3 (4.4 yd3) general purpose buckets with BOCE.
962K Key Features and Benefits Optimized Z-bar Linkage Development of the new optimized Z-bar linkage was done in conjunction with the Performance Series Buckets, Fusion™ coupler and Fusion™ family of work tools to ensure that all components function together to enhance visibility, performance and fuel efficiency.
Reliability Tested and Proven. Ready to Work. Structures The K Series features many components which leverage product designs that have delivered a reliable and durable machine for generations. Strata Precleaner The system removes 93% of the dust particles before the air has reached the primary engine air filter. As air enters the precleaner, stationary vanes cause the incoming air to spin.
Durability Better Built to Meet Your Needs Frames The robotically welded two-piece structural frame design provides a rugged and reliable foundation for the machine that improves stability, performance, and serviceability. A robust articulating hitch system joins the front and rear frames improving durability. Enhanced line routings across the hitch joint streamline the manufacturing process and improve reliability and durability. Engine The new Cat C7.
Productivity Move More. All Day. Every Day. Z-bar Linkage Caterpillar engineers used an innovative systems integration approach to completely redesign the linkage system to meet customer needs in many applications. Development of the new optimized Z-bar linkage was done in conjunction with the Performance Series Buckets, Fusion™ coupler and Fusion™ family of work tools to ensure that all components function together to optimize visibility, performance and fuel efficiency.
Versatility Work Tool Options to Meet Your Needs Work Tools for Many Job Site Requirements An extensive range of work tools and bucket styles are available for the 962K to customize these machines for your operation.
Fusion™ Quick Coupler Improved Machine Performance Fusion™ is the patented wheel loader coupler system from Caterpillar. The Fusion Coupler System provides performance virtually identical to pin on – with all the flexibility of a quick coupler system. The Fusion Coupler sits back, close-in to the loader arms – minimizing offset and increasing the machine’s performance. No Loss of Performance Imagine lifting a hundred pound box with your arms fully extended.
Operator Environment Safe. Comfortable. Efficient. Conventional Steering The conventional steering configuration offers a low-effort hand metering unit hydraulic steering system. Load sensing steering directs power through the steering system only when needed. The optional Command Control Steering is still offered on the 962K and is a load sensing system that links the steering wheel and frame angle positions to provide the proper amount of steering control.
Entry and Exit Well-placed grab bars and a ladder inclination angle of 10-degrees forward makes the walk into the cab feel more like a staircase than a ladder. The new wider front hinged door can be opened and closed while seated, greatly improving ingress and egress. Two new left-hand and right-hand sliding windows can also be opened and closed with one hand while seated for comfortable communication to personnel on the ground.
Serviceability Easy to Maintain. Easy to Service. Electrical Service Center The electrical service center provides grouped ground level access to numerous electrical features, enhancing safety and convenience for operators and service technicians. It is conveniently located beneath the left platform for access before entering the cab and contains the maintenance free batteries, a fuse relay panel, main disconnect switch, ground level engine shutdown switch, hood tilt switch, and the jump start receptacle.
Sustainability Conserving Resources The 962K is designed to compliment your business plan, reduce emissions and minimize the consumption of natural resources. Customer Support Ready to Help. Anytime. Anywhere. Machine Selection Cat dealers are ready to help evaluate machine options; from new or used machine sales, to rental or rebuild options, Cat dealers can provide an optimal solution to meet customer business needs.
Owning Costs Proven Best Investment Customer Support Agreements A Customer Support Agreement (CSA) is an arrangement between you and your Cat dealer that helps you lower your total cost per ton. CSAs are flexible, allowing them to be tailored to your business needs. They can range from simple Preventive Maintenance Kits to elaborate Total Cost Performance Guarantees. Having a CSA with your Cat dealer enables more time for you to do what you do best – run your business.
Operating Costs Save Time and Money by Working Smart Data from customer machines show Cat wheel loaders are among the most fuel efficient machines in the industry. Several features contribute to this excellent fuel efficiency: • Performance Series Buckets – Deliver faster fill times and better material retention, ultimately reducing cycle times while improving productivity and fuel efficiency.
