About this machine
This Caterpillar 980G is a log loader — sometimes called a log handler — a purpose-built machine designed to pick up, sort, and stack large volumes of timber in forestry operations, sawmill yards, and log processing facilities. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and industrial equipment, serving industries that include forestry, mining, construction, and material handling.
This 1997 unit is powered by a Caterpillar 3406 diesel engine producing 300 horsepower, fitted with a turbocharger for enhanced performance under demanding load cycles. The 3406 is a well-known engine in heavy equipment and trucking applications, valued for its durability and power output in continuous-duty roles.
The machine is equipped with a bucket measuring 133 inches across, with a rated capacity of 7 cubic yards — a substantial volume suited to handling large, irregularly shaped log loads in a single pass. Tires are sized 29.5-25, a large-format specification appropriate for the machine's operating weight and the rough, often soft ground conditions common in log yard environments. Operating weight is listed at 65,638 pounds, reflecting the robust, reinforced structure typical of a dedicated log loader built to withstand repeated heavy lifts.
This used machine is currently located in Mexico.
