This Caterpillar 966M is a used wheeled loader — sometimes referred to as a wheel loader or front-end loader — a machine built to move, lift, and load bulk materials such as soil, gravel, aggregate, and debris across construction sites, quarries, mines, and industrial yards. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, supplying earthmoving, material-handling, and site-preparation machinery to contractors and operators across virtually every industry that works with the ground.
This 2022 machine carries a stock number of and has an operating weight of 51,176 lb. Power comes from a CAT C9.3 ACERT turbocharged diesel engine producing 307 horsepower, paired with a powershift transmission offering four forward and four reverse speeds and a maximum travel speed of 24.9 mph. Drive is distributed to all four wheels, giving the machine the traction and stability expected in demanding underfoot conditions.
The loader is equipped with a 115-inch general-purpose bucket as standard and features a quick coupler for straightforward attachment changes. Auxiliary hydraulics are fitted, broadening compatibility with hydraulically driven attachments beyond the bucket. Breakout force is rated at 38,984 lb, and the static tipping load is 32,329 lb — figures that speak to the machine's capacity to handle substantial material volumes in a single pass. The fuel tank holds 82.7 gallons, supporting extended working shifts between refuelling stops.
The cab is an EROPS design with full HVAC climate control, a heated seat, a cupholder, and a Bluetooth-capable radio, providing a comfortable and well-appointed working environment for the operator. The machine is located in New York, USA, and is listed at $350,320, priced inclusive of the bucket only; forks are not included in that figure.
