This Caterpillar 966M is a used wheeled loader — sometimes referred to as a wheel loader or front-end loader — a type of heavy earthmoving machine built to scoop, carry, and load bulk materials such as soil, gravel, sand, and aggregate. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of construction and mining equipment, producing machines that serve industries including construction, road building, quarrying, mining, and material handling. This example was manufactured in 2020 and is currently located in Alabama, USA, offered at $360,000.
The machine is equipped with joystick steering, replacing the conventional steering wheel with a single-lever control that gives the operator more precise, low-effort directional command — a configuration preferred in many demanding production applications. It comes fitted with a bucket and mirrors, and the engine enclosures are present, helping to protect the powertrain in working conditions. The equipment carries a certification code of NCR.
Of particular note for a buyer seeking reliability assurance, this loader retains remaining Caterpillar factory warranty coverage across powertrain (PWT), hydraulics (HDY), and technology (TECH) components, with expiry recorded as 27 September 2024 or 5,000 hours, whichever comes first. This warranty carry-over represents meaningful residual protection on three of the machine's most critical and cost-sensitive systems.
