This Caterpillar 988K XE is a used wheeled loader — sometimes referred to as a wheel loader or front-end loader — a heavy earthmoving machine designed for loading and transporting bulk materials such as soil, rock, aggregates, and other loose material on construction sites, quarries, mines, and industrial facilities. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, serving industries ranging from infrastructure and road building to resource extraction and waste management. This example was built in 2020 and is currently located in Nebraska, USA, offered at $695,000.
The machine is equipped with an Auto Shift transmission and Ride Control, the latter being a European-specification feature that helps smooth the ride and reduce material spillage during travel. It carries EU Certification and includes several EU-specification items, among them accumulators, sound-deadening film, and EU-standard films, indicating it was configured to European regulatory standards. The certification code recorded is NCR.
Powering the machine is an engine bearing serial number RDP08872, paired with a Clean Emissions Module (serial number CDE199099A). An engine coolant heater rated at 240V is fitted, suitable for cold-climate starting. The precleaner is specified as the OPTIMAX type, and the oil change system is the high-speed variant for efficient servicing intervals. Fuel lines are non-heated and the fuel tank is the non-fast-fill configuration. The hydraulic oil system is standard specification.
The loader rides on 35/65R33 tyres and features standard axles complemented by an axle oil cooler. Steering includes a secondary steering system, providing a backup capability in the event of primary steering circuit failure. The lift configuration is specified as High 2V. A crankcase guard is fitted for underbody protection.
The cab is equipped with heated outboard rearview mirrors, a cab visor, and auxiliary lighting. Engine enclosures are present along with front fenders. An automatic lubrication system is installed. Entertainment and communication equipment includes an AM/FM radio and a Premium Corporate Radio (12V). The machine is CPM Payload Weighing ready, meaning it is prepared to accept a payload management system. Product Link telematics is fitted, enabling remote monitoring of machine location and operating data. An online owner's manual access is included. The counterweight type is noted in the configuration, though no specific detail beyond its presence is recorded.
