Caterpillar 980 Specifications
Wheel Loaders Specs
The Caterpillar 980 is a high-production 30-tonne class wheel loader built for the extreme demands of quarries, mines, and large-scale bulk loading. Driven by a massive Cat C13 engine, it delivers 303 kW of power to handle the most abrasive and dense materials with ease. The 980 is optimized for truck loading, providing the bucket capacity and cycle speed required to feed high-capacity haulers in just a few passes.
This loader features a planetary powershift transmission with an integrated lock-up clutch to maximize power transfer and fuel efficiency during long load-and-carry tasks. The operator experiences a world-class workspace with the latest H-Series technology, including high-resolution displays and ergonomic pilot controls. Designed for 24/7 durability, the Cat 980 is the primary choice for heavy-duty earthmoving in Australia.
