The new Cat 950 GC wheeled loader is said to combine low operating costs with the durability, reliability and economy of proven Cat components. Weighing 18,630kg and with a standard bucket capacity of 3.1m³, the 950 GC is suited for stockpiling, truck loading, material handling, hopper charging and load-and-carry work in applications such as quarries, sand and gravel pits, coal operations, storage yards, concrete and asphalt plants, and on construction projects for job site preparation, back-filling, pi

The new Cat 950 GC wheeled loader is said to combine low operating costs with the durability, reliability and economy of proven Cat components.

Weighing 18,630kg and with a standard bucket  capacity of 3.1m³, the 950 GC is suited for stockpiling, truck loading, material handling, hopper charging and load-and-carry work in applications such as quarries, sand and gravel pits, coal operations, storage yards, concrete and asphalt plants, and on construction projects for job site preparation, back-filling, pipe handling, and general clean up.

It complements the current wheeled loader product line, which includes the proven 950H, which will remain.

With a net power rating of 168kW, the C7.1 engine meets Stage IIIA (Tier 3) emissions standards and features a new fuel-injection system specifically designed for fuel available in emerging markets. An electronically controlled, hydraulically driven, variable-speed cooling fan lowers fuel consumption and sound levels, and an optional fan drive bypass feature allows faster warm-up in cold weather. A high-ambient cooling package is available.

The 950 GC’s 4F/3R countershaft, power-shift transmission, designed and built by Caterpillar, features automatic-shift capability and the Cat Electronic Long Range Transmission control system, which allows full-power shifts and includes a speed protection feature. This modulated transmission ensures smooth shifts for operators and contributes significantly to fast cycles and extended component life.

“The 950 GC features Cat’s proven Z-bar loader linkage, providing aggressive digging capabilities, high breakout forces, and lift and reach capability to competently handle a wide range of loading applications. The B-pin height and dump clearance allow easy loading of on-highway trucks. Lift and bucket return-to-dig kick-outs can be adjusted to suit the application,” says Caterpillar.

“Complementing the linkage are Cat Performance Series buckets, featuring a long floor, curved side sheets, and a wide opening to allow even less-experienced operators to attain 105- to 115- per cent fill factors in minimum time, speeding cycles and saving fuel.”
