This Caterpillar IT28G is a used log loader — sometimes referred to as a log handler — a type of wheel loader purpose-built for handling, stacking, and sorting logs and timber in forestry, sawmill, and wood-processing operations. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and industrial equipment, with products serving sectors that include construction, mining, forestry, and agriculture.
The machine is powered by a Caterpillar 3056E engine producing 131 horsepower, paired with a powershift (PS) transmission. A powershift gearbox allows gear changes under load without interrupting power flow, which is well suited to the repeated forward-and-reverse cycles typical of log handling work.
The loader is equipped with a 108-inch bucket with a rated capacity of 2.6 cubic yards, giving it a wide, high-volume carrying profile suited to bulky, irregular loads such as logs and wood waste. Operating weight is listed at 28,267 lbs, placing it in the mid-range class of wheel loaders.
This unit is located in Mexico and is offered in used condition, manufactured in 2003.
