Wheel Loader 966H

Maneuver, fully loaded, around obstacles on every site. The Cat® 966H Wheel Loader delivers highly responsive controls and heavy duty capabilities, ensuring unsurpassed productivity for diverse operations.

Designed with midpoint articulation, the machine maintains greater balance and durability, and superior maneuverability in tight operating conditions. Beyond lifting barriers for installation and stockpiling material, the 966H demonstrates its versatility in the construction of airfields, roads, defensive berms, as well as various demolition functions.

966H Wheel Loader

Giving operators superior control over their heaviest loads.

Applications

Airfield Construction General Construction

Landing Zones Demolition

Modify Environments Anti-tank Ditches

Mine Clearing Route Clearance

Entry ladder with self-cleaning steps and wide front and rear platforms.

Understanding that loaders work in some of the harshest environments, the 966H is engineered with machine-wide shock and vibration reducing measures.

• Oscillating rear axle

• Cab iso-mounts

• Neutralizer valves at articulation joint

• Electronically controlled, automatic kickouts

• Air suspension seat-mounted implement controls

• Cylinder dampening for the bucket

Operator-focused ride control and hydraulics.

• Electro-hydraulic Implement Controls: Prevent material spillage and improve productivity with in-cab programmable kickouts. The console features a forward/neutral/reverse switch for fast and easy directional changes to reduce cycle times.

• Ride Control: Improve ride, cycle times and load retention when traveling at higher speeds over rough terrain in load and carry operations.

• Planetary Powershift Transmission: The responsive electronic planetary powershift transmission with automatic shift capability is designed and built by Caterpillar for precise speed and directional changes.

• Load Sensing Hydraulics: The load-sensing hydraulic system automatically adjusts to operating conditions, providing only the hydraulic flow required for improved fuel efficiency.

Armor Protection Solutions The armored crew protection kit (CPK) on the 966H provides 360º protection for operators inside the cab. Its emergency egress hatch gives operators the ability to quickly exit the cab, while providing rescue personnel critical access to those inside. Transparent armor provides a wide field of view of the machine and surrounding areas. Cat armor protection solutions give operators the scalability they need to adapt to changing environments and conditions.

Support and Serviceability

Easy to maintain. Ready for work.

Proper maintenance of your wheel loader will keep it running at peak performance with minimal downtime.

The 966H is engineered with easy-to-access maintenance points and a full range of systems to ensure operators and technicians are able to efficiently diagnose and maintain the machine.

966H Wheel Loader

Electric Service Center

The batteries, relay panel and tool box are conveniently located below the left-side access platform. The engine shutdown switch is housed within the relay panel. A compartment integrated into the access platform contains the hood tilt actuation switch, master switch and NATO start receptacle.

Ground Level Grease Points

Grease fittings are grouped on the right side of the machine in two convenient locations – in a service compartment just below the right-side service platform and a bank located just off the non-engine end frame. These locations facilitate easy lubrication of vital components located throughout the machine.

Monitoring Systems

The 966H maximizes on-board diagnostics capability using electronic control modules (ECMs) to monitor engine and machine systems (transmission, hydraulics and brakes). Cat Electronic Technician (ET) software accesses information from the allowing technicians to view status parameters, logged codes, active codes, perform functional tests and record and view data logs of equipment operation. The instrument panel conveniently displays fault or event codes, while the messenger system provides text related to the fault code. This diagnostic capability allows customers to maintain wheel loader readiness while minimizing the maintenance burden.
