 Caterpillar says its 993K-loader capacity matches perfectly with the Cat 777 (four pass) and 785 (six pass) off-highway trucks. Built on an all-new platform, the new loader features Z-bar linkage, hydraulics and power train that deliver penetration into the pile and high breakout forces-20 percent more than the 992G. The increased performance and capacity result in a 15 to 20 percent improvement in productivity compared to the 992G, says the company. The new loader also features the Cat C32 ACERT engine for increased performance and US EPA Tier 2/EU Stage IIa emissions compliance. It produces net power of 950 horsepower (708 kW). The 993K-loader also offers ease maintenance and boosts reliability, says the company. For example, the Cat-exclusive sleeve bearing pins eliminate the need for daily greasing of the front linkage.
