This Caterpillar IT28G is a used log loader — sometimes referred to as a log handler — a purpose-built machine designed for moving, stacking, and sorting logs in forestry and timber yard operations. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised heavy equipment manufacturers, producing construction, mining, and materials handling machinery relied on across a wide range of industries globally.
This 2003 machine is powered by a Caterpillar 3056E engine producing 131 horsepower and fitted with a turbocharger, delivering strong, reliable output for demanding log handling work. The transmission is of the powershift (PS) type, which provides smooth, on-the-go gear changes well suited to the repetitive cycle of loading and positioning material.
The loader is equipped with forks measuring 7 by 72 inches, a configuration appropriate for grappling and transporting full-length logs. It rides on 20.5R25 tyres, a robust radial tyre size commonly specified on machines of this class to handle the uneven and often soft ground conditions found in timber operations. The machine has an operating weight of 28,267 lbs, reflecting the substantial, stable build expected of a dedicated log loader.
The unit is located in Mexico and is offered for sale in used condition.
