The Caterpillar 260 is a heavy-duty loader designed for high-hour, high-intensity applications. As a next-generation model, it offers a significant increase in lift height and breakout force compared to previous generations. It is specifically designed to handle the rigours of civil construction, roadworks, and large-scale agricultural tasks.

The 260’s vertical lift geometry is engineered to keep the load close to the machine during the lift for maximum stability, before extending at the top of the path for easy dumping into trucks. The machine features an upgraded heavy-duty cooling system, ensuring reliable performance in the extreme heat often encountered on Australian work sites.
