This Caterpillar 966K is a used wheeled loader — sometimes referred to as a wheel loader or front-end loader — a heavy earthmoving machine built to move bulk materials such as soil, gravel, aggregate, and other loose goods across construction sites, quarries, ports, and industrial yards. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a long-established reputation for producing durable, high-performance machines used across earthmoving, infrastructure, and resource extraction industries worldwide. This example was manufactured in 2013 and is currently located in Hawaii, USA, offered at $184,000.
The machine is equipped with a Fusion quick coupler — a proprietary Caterpillar system that allows fast, tool-free attachment changes, broadening the loader's versatility on site. Steering is electro-hydraulic, and the loader is fitted with a three-valve joystick control with a switch configuration, providing precise, responsive command of the implement functions. The axle configuration is open differential front and rear with an ED designation, and powertrain protection is provided by a dedicated guard.
The cooling system is specified for high ambient operating conditions, making this unit well suited to demanding temperature environments. The oil change system is high-speed, reducing downtime during scheduled maintenance. The engine meets Tier 4 emissions standards, and the equipment certification code is listed as NCR.
Connectivity and operator information are supported by Caterpillar Product Link 321, which enables remote monitoring of machine health and location, along with access to an online owner's manual. The operator cab includes an AM/FM CD/MP3 Bluetooth radio and a three-inch wide seat belt. This is a comprehensively specified machine ready for heavy-duty loading work.
