Caterpillar 's wheel loaders are very versatile. Although they are mainly used for loading and unloading various material and digging, they can operate in agriculture, forestry and the mining industry. Even combat engineering uses armored Caterpillar wheel loaders for missions in militarily occupied territories. Caterpillar introduced its first wheel loader in 1959 — the 944A. At that time, the wheel loaders were called the “Traxcavators.” Caterpillar 944A was different, because it had wheels instead of trucks and was equipped with twin lift arms instead of a vertical mast. It was given a four-cylinder Cat® D330 Diesel Engine. The name was formally changed from “Traxcavators” to “Wheel Loaders” in 1965. In 1963, Cat launched the 988 and the 966B articulated steering wheel loaders. These were followed by Caterpillar 922B wheel loader (1962), Caterpillar 950 (1964), Caterpillar 980 (1966), Caterpillar 930 and Caterpillar 992 (both in 1968), and Caterpillar 920 (1969). In 2012, Cat followed with the H-series of wheel loaders with 986H and 988H models with the Cat C15 ACERT™ engine capable of net power of 300-310 kW, which is still available. In 2013, the K-series was added to the range, which contains Caterpillar 986K, Caterpillar 994K and 4 more models. Nowadays, Caterpillar offers its last M-series of wheel loaders, which was introduced in 2014. It includes CAT 906M wheel loader, CAT 982M and 13 more models.

Caterpillar also added the XE Advanced powertrain, first introduced with the 966K XE, continuing with CAT 966M XE, CAT 988K XE, and the new Caterpillar 972M XE joining the product line. Within the XE technology is 25 percent lower fuel consumption, than in machines with traditional torque converters. Caterpillar’s offer of wheel loaders ranges from compact wheel loaders with net power of 55 kW to large wheel loaders with net power of 726 kW and rated payload of 27 tons. CAT offers wheel loaders in various sizes and loading capacities from 0,9 m³ to 44 m³. The largest wheel loader, Caterpillar 994K, was introduced in 1990 for the first time and delivered a performance of 1297 kW conforming with the new Tier 4 Final/EU Stage V emission level.

A skid-steer loader is a small, rigid-frame machine with lift arms used to attach a wide variety of tools or attachments like buckets, hammers, grapples, trenchers, shears, etc. First Caterpillar skid steer loader was the 216, launched in 1999. CAT skid steer loaders were basically invented as a mixture of mini-hydraulic excavators and compact wheel loaders. The first product line therefore began with Caterpillar 216, immediately followed by CAT 226 and finally growing to eight models ranging from 35 kW to 79 kW (47 hp to 106 hp). CAT 216 provided a bucket capacity of 0,36 m³, just like Caterpillar 226. Other early Caterpillar skid steer loaders were for example CAT 246 (weight of 3,21 tons, bucket capacity of 0,4 m³, lifting force of 21,8 kN, CAT 3034 T engine rated at 55 kW/74 hp), CAT 247 (weight of 3 tons, bucket capacity of 0,4 m³, lifting force of 13,66 kN, CAT 3034 engine rated at 41 kW/55 hp), CAT 232 (weight of 3 tons, bucket capacity of 0,36 m³, lifting force of 17 kN, CAT 3024 C engine rated at 36 kW/48 hp) and CAT 242 (weight of 3,03 tons, bucket capacity of 0,4 m³, lifting force of 17 kN, CAT 3034 C engine rated at 41 kW/55 hp). Currently offered Caterpillar skid steer loaders have rated operating capacity from 635 kg to 1656 kg. These features make skid-steer loader, such as Caterpillar 216B Series 3, the most versatile machine on jobsite. The Caterpillar machines, like the 242D, include a quick coupler system, which ensure that work tools can be changed quickly and easily. The CAT Electronic Torque Management System provides maximum performance and production capability with optional two speed travel. Machines such as Caterpillar 262D skid steer loader contain high-efficiency hydraulic oil cooler, which lets the machine work longer and harder in higher temperatures, even with continuous performance.

Caterpillar backhoe loaders basically combine two machine-types. They are equipped with a loader-style bucket on the front and a backhoe at the rear. Backhoe loaders such as the CAT 415F2 IL can be used in urban engineering and small construction projects (building small houses, fixing urban roads, etc). Caterpillar produces backhoe loaders with Center-pivot or side shift frames and the buyers can choose between 2- or 4-wheel drive. Caterpillar started to produce backhoe loaders at 1985 by releasing the A-series. The first model was called the Caterpillar 416A and it was launched with a lift capacity of 2 tonnes and an operating weight of 6 tons. In 1989, CAT launched the B-series, which had a modified swing system for increased torque and speed (e.g. CAT 438 B 4x4). Later in 1996, the Caterpillar C-series for backhoe loaders with upgraded CAT 3054 4-cylinder diesel engine with a performance of 59 kW, followed. One example would be the CAT 438 C 4x4. The Caterpillar 416D came out in 2001 with the cleanest inhouse-built combustion engine Cat 3054 (e.g. featuring the CAT 442 D 4x4). In 2005, the E-series was introduced with a new Cat 3054C 4-cylinder diesel engine equipped with direct injection (coming into effect in e.g. the CAT 428E 4x4 backhoe loader). The machine’s boom was redesigned with improved digging force including increased hydraulic breakout force. In 2012, Caterpillar started to produce the succeeding F-series models such as the CAT 430F and CAT 420F. The F-series loaders were given the new Caterpillar C4.4 Acert DIT 4 cylinder engine - rated at 72 kW. This series also got a completely redesigned exhaust system, with the exhaust stack being run up the side of the cab which resulted in an increase of the operator’s visibility. The newest Caterpillar F2 series has been available since 2015, including the CAT 416F2 center pivot model.

Off-highway dump trucks are specifically designed for use in mining and heavy-duty construction sites. They can travel up to 80 km/h speed forward and 17 km/h in reverse. The biggest Caterpillar dump truck is the 797F with Cat® C175-20 engine rated at 2983 kW (4000 hp) of gross power. Its payload is 363 tons (heaped). Off-highway dump trucks are equipped with VIMS™ 3G monitoring system, which provides the operator with data about payload and critical health status. Safety is very important for Caterpillar, and that is why CAT uses 10/10/20 Overload Policy, that assures smooth machine running even at 20% overload. These giant trucks are equipped with four wheel, forced oil-cooled, multiple disc brakes. An oil film between the brakes assures a longer life. Steel structures are made of mild steel, which provides flexibility and resistance to impact loads. CAT developed off-highway trucks specifically for mining, quarry and construction applications. The first Caterpillar off-highway truck was showed to the public in 1963 and it was called the 769, which weighed 35 tons. This truck could bear 23.3-cubic-yard capacity rear dump and it could travel about 67 km/h. In 1974, Cat introduced the 777 model with power of 650 kW, then in 1996 it was upgraded with the power of 699 kW and it was called CAT 777D. The D-series includes CAT 785D, CAT 789D and CAT 793D which are still available. Then came the E-series, which brought CAT 773E and CAT 777E models.

Caterpillar started the production of F-series in 2009, which replaced the B-series (manufactured since 2002). For example, compared to Caterpillar 797B, the 797F has a higher payload capacity and a more powerful engine. Caterpillar 797F has a payload capacity of 363 tonnes but CAT 797B could carry 345 tonnes. The engine power increased from 2513 kW to 2828 kW. Caterpillar also offers the 793F with power 1975 kW in the F-series. In 2012 at Bauma China, CAT was showcasing 772G off-highway truck with a payload capacity of 47,2 tonnes.
