This Caterpillar 980H is a used wheeled loader — sometimes referred to as a wheel loader or rubber-tyred loader — a heavy machine built to move, lift, and load bulk materials such as earth, gravel, rock, and timber across construction, mining, quarrying, and industrial job sites. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised names in heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, manufacturing a broad range of machines that serve the construction, mining, forestry, and infrastructure industries globally.
This 2006 example is located in New York, USA, and is offered at $225,500. It presents with 7,152 recorded hours, which represents moderate use for a machine of this class, and the seller describes it as super clean and very well maintained, indicating a high standard of upkeep throughout its working life.
The loader is configured with a hydraulic coupler, allowing quick attachment changes without manual pinning, which adds considerable versatility and efficiency on site. A third valve hydraulic circuit is fitted, providing the additional hydraulic flow required to operate more complex attachments. The machine comes equipped with hydraulic log forks and a hydraulic grapple, making it well suited to timber handling and sorting work. A general-purpose bucket is also included and is fitted with BOCE — bolt-on cutting edge — a wear-protection system that extends bucket life and is replaceable without welding.
The combination of a hydraulic coupler, a third valve circuit, and multiple attachments ready to work means this machine can move between material-handling tasks with minimal downtime. The seller states it is ready to work, and the overall presentation and maintenance history support that assessment.
