This Caterpillar 988H is a used wheeled loader — also commonly referred to as a wheel loader — a heavy-duty loading machine designed to move large volumes of material such as earth, rock, aggregate, and bulk commodities on construction sites, quarries, mines, 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 building robust, high-capacity machines that serve contractors, mining operations, infrastructure projects, and material-handling facilities worldwide.
This 2012 machine is located in Pennsylvania, USA, and is offered for sale at $375,000. It is equipped with a set of Rockland heavy-duty forks measuring 8 feet wide with 7-foot tines, making it well suited for heavy fork-lift applications such as moving large pipe, timber, structural steel, or other long and heavy loads that would otherwise require specialised equipment. Rockland is a well-regarded name in ground-engaging and material-handling attachments for large machines of this class.
The loader is also fitted with joystick steering, which replaces conventional steering-wheel controls with a joystick-based input, reducing operator fatigue during high-cycle operations and giving precise directional control in demanding working conditions. Together, the heavy-duty fork attachment and joystick steering configuration make this a versatile and operator-friendly machine ready for demanding site or industrial use.
