Cat 966 XE Aggregate Handler '11.2021–pr.

For Release in North America, Europe: November 2021

Bringing a host of standard technologies to the 7- to 9-tonne (8- to 10-ton) wheel loader line, the updated Cat® 966 and 972 Wheel Loader series boost operator efficiency. The 966 and 972 models deliver consistently high bucket fill factors to increase productivity by up to 10%.

Special, purpose-built options for the loaders include an aggregate handler configuration that offers higher payload capability for loose aggregate handling applications. Industrial and waste models feature the guarding and reinforcement required for working at transfer stations, recycling facilities, scrap yards and demolition sites. For demanding applications like steel mills and slag handling, the loaders can be ordered in the steel mill configuration that incorporates additional levels of safety.
