Cat adds more K-series wheeled loaders at INTERMAT

Cat has added three new models of wheeled loader to its range, badged 924K, 930K and 938K. All share the same basic architecture, differing in wheelbase, axles, machine width and bucket capacities – the latter extend from 1.9-5.0 cubic metres.

Cat 938K wheeled loader, live at INTERMAT 2012
178 Caterpillar has added three new models of wheeled loader to its range, badged 924K, 930K and 938K.

All share the same basic architecture, differing in wheelbase, axles, machine width and bucket capacities – the latter extend from 1.9-5.0 cubic metres.

The biggest change over the H-series models they replace is an all-new cab, offering a massive improvement in ergonomics and comfort. A wider, deeper front windscreen, climate control, seat-mounted joysticks and an ultra-low in-cab noise level of 66dB(a) are among its features.

“Only the headlights and the bucket’s cutting edge remain unchanged from the out-going H-series,” said Cat’s wheeled loader specialist Dominic Bunting.

Bunting said the traditional torque converter powershift transmission on loaders of this size had been sidelined in favour of a more sophisticated electronically controlled, four-speed Hystat transmission. It brought greater efficiency and controllability, he said.

A C6.6 Acert engine with Intelligent Power Management offers fuel savings of up to 30% for the three new K-series loaders.

    Liebherr’s compact L506C and L508C wheeled loaders both have a very low overall height, aiding stability and versatility when working in congested site conditions. Weighing 5,180kg and 5,600kg respectively the two loaders offer tipping loads of 3,450kg and 3,850kg. The L506C is powered by a 45kW (61hp) engine and comes with a 0.8m3 bucket, while the L508C uses a 49kW (67hp) motor and a 1.0m3 bucket. Both machines have a comfortable cab with plenty of glass, for good all-round visibility. The lifting cylinde
