In the harsh environment of a millyard application, youneed a wheel loader designed for the job. Since 1963, theCat Large Wheel Loaders have helped more customers than any other manufacturers model in this wheel loader size class. Readon to learn more about how Cat log loaders deliver sustainable productivity, fuel efficiency, serviceability, reliability and versatility.

Productivity
Improving your bottom line
Purpose Built Linkage
The 988H and 990H log loader arrangements include a purpose built linkage designed to optimize machine performance for the log loading application. Larger lift and tilt cylinders with extra counterweight allow the machines to unload an on-highway truck with a single pass. Third valve hydraulics allow for top clamp operation to secure the log load. The optional Ride Control attachment cushions the lift arms when operating with a log load, improving operator comfort and productivity.

Positive Flow Control (PFC) (988 only)

PFC has concurrent pump and valve control and a force feedback system that keeps displacement whereit is required for optimized pump control. By optimizing pump control, hydraulic oil flow isproportionate to implement lever stroke. The benefits include: Lowered fuel consumption Improved hydraulic response, giving the operator abetterfeel and control of the forks Improved power efficiency and lower system heat

Fuel Efficiency
Minimizing costs
Auto Idle Kickdown (988 only)
If an operator is not actively operating a machine for a period of time, the AIK system will temporarily reduce engine speed to save fuel. The system will automatically resume the engine speed at the previous setting when the operator engages the implement control pod, the F-N-R switch or the STIC steer.

Idle Shutdown (988 only)

The engine will automatically shut down after the machine has been in a safe idling state for anextendedamount of time. The operator in the cab will be audibly and visually warned before thesystemshuts down.

Impeller Clutch Torque Converter (ICTC) and Rimpull Control System

ICTC combined with the RCS allows the operator maximum flexibility in modulating rimpull Left brake pedal modulates rimpull from 100 to 25 percent for reduced tire slippage and wear. After25percent is achieved, further pedal travel applies the brakes. RCS reduces the potential for wheel slippage without reducing the hydraulic efficiency. An in-cab switch allows the operator to set a percentage of maximum rimpull to meet operating conditions. Four settings are available, and operators can set rimpull at 60, 70, 80 or 90 percent.

Torque Converter Lock-Up Clutch

A lock-up clutch torque converter provides direct drive efficiency which translates into improved fuel economy in a millyard application.

Reliability

Maximizing uptime, long life its what you expect from your Cat Wheel Loader

Structures
Cat Large Wheel Loader structures are designed with superior durability for multiple machine rebuilds by combining the use of robotic welding and castings in critical high stress areas. More than 80 percent of the machine structure is robotically welded to provide highly consistent welds and increased strength. Castings are also used in several areas toincrease strength by helping spread the loads and reduce the number of parts.

Front Frame and Rear Frame

Highly engineered and a field proven combination, Cat Large Wheel Loaders use high strength plates and castings which distribute loads and increase structural robustness. A key differentiator from other manufactures machines is the box section rear frame and box section loader tower. The box section absorbs tensional forces generated in a loading cycle, maintaining alignment for hitch pins and driveline. The box shaped loader tower resists shock and torsional loads, maintaining hitch and loader linkage pin alignment, maximizing pin life.

Axle-Shaft, Oil Disc Brakes

These brakes are adjustment free, fully hydraulic and completely sealed. Disc face grooves provide cooling even when brakes are applied for a longer component life. Location of brakes allow for improved serviceability. The axle shaft brake design allows for brake service while leaving the final drive intact. Axle-shaft brakes require less force by operating on the low torque side of the axle. Combined with improved axle oil circulation for increased cooling, the oil-enclosed, multiple disc brake design improves durability.

Safety
Built to protect you
Entry and Exit
Getting on and off the machine is one of the leading causes of injury on a job site. Cat Large Wheel Loaders have a number of features to ensure your operator gets safely on and off the machine. Cat Large Wheel Loaders include primary and secondary stairwell exits, punch stamped tread plates, ground level nighttime stairwell light switch, full perimeter railings on upper platforms, side platform emergency egress and toe kicks and optional roading fenders.

Rearview Camera
With the new optional rearview camera, visibility is greatly enhanced. The camera is located in a pocket on the grill to protect it from damage and the elements. The camera can be set to activate only when the transmission is in reverse to help eliminate distractions in the cab, especially when in dark environments.

Visibility
Cat Large Wheel Loaders offer a number of standard and optional features to enhance job site visibility. Standard and optional features include long life LED lights, articulated wiper/washer system with intermittent features, optional rear vision camera, optional high intensity discharge lights, optional warning beacon and optional turn signals. The rearview camera display can accommodate up to threecameras which can be configured in a variety of ways by your local Cat dealer. Object detection kits are also available through your local Cat dealer.

Serviceability

Easy to maintain. Easy to service.

Optional Swing Out Radiator Fan (988 only)

The optional swing out radiator fan provides for easy access to the radiator cores for easy cleaning and inspection.

Auto Reversing, Hydraulically Driven Demand Fan (988 only)

The demand fan automatically adjust fan speed for optimal cooling, resulting in reduced power draw on the engine, better fuel efficiency and more power for hydraulics and rimpull. The fan reverses automatically at preset intervals to remove debris from the inlet screen. It can also be reversed manually from the cab.

Component Access
Swing out doors on both sides of the engine compartment provide easy access to the engine oil dipstick and filler spout, SOSSM ports, fuel filters air conditioner compressor, engine oil filters, alternators, starting receptacle, air filter service indicator, cooler fill and ether starting aid. There are also ground level viewable sight gauges on all major systems andcentralized remote pressure taps.

Shutdown and Lockout Features

An electrical disconnect switch and hydraulic lockout switch allow service technicians to perform maintenance while the machine stays static. Other shutdown or lockout devices include ground level engine shutdown and ground level steering hitch lock lever.

Operator Comfort
