Caterpillar Hystat Power Train

The IT14G Hystat Power Train features a high-pressure closed-loop hydrostatic transmission. This transmission provides a broader range of power and performance to the ground, with less operator input, than conventional converter-driven transmissions. Advantages of the Cat Hystat Power Train include simple and smooth operation, direct change of speed and direction, stepless low speed variation without loss of power, exceptional inching function for precise control, hydrostatic braking reduces wear on mechanical brakes, less heat generated when pushing against a pile of material, higher working productivity, and highly reliable with fewer parts than a mechanical transmission.

Caterpillar 3054 T Diesel Engine

This high-performance engine incorporates many of the same heavy-duty features that help make the larger Cat diesel engines the standard of the industry. It is designed for rugged, reliable operation while providing peak performance over a wide range of operating conditions. For added service life, the 3054 T has many rebuild features such as field-replaceable cylinder liners and replaceable valve guides and seats. The standard 3054 T is a very low emission engine designed not only to meet today’s environmental standards, but also to meet future worldwide emission standards. It is one of the cleanest burning engines in its class.

Versatile Integrated Toolcarrier Design

Legendary Caterpillar eight-bar parallel lift linkage and integral quick coupler give the IT14G unmatched versatility for a range of applications limited only by the imagination. A new “creeper” function allows high engine speed at very low travel speeds for even better control of attachments.

Quick Coupler and Attachments

The IT14G is a machine with applications limited only by your imagination. Choose from hundreds of available attachments, most of which can be changed in less than 30 seconds without leaving the cab. The Quick Coupler is an integral part of the Caterpillar Integrated Toolcarrier. Tool changes are quick and easy, most under 30 seconds. A lever in the operator compartment activates a hydraulic cylinder for positive tool retention or disengagement.

Low-Effort Operation

New pilot hydraulic controls give the IT14G uncompromised ease of operation of lift, tilt, and quick coupler functions. A remote transmission control option adds a forward/neutral/reverse control switch on the implement lever for easier operation and enhanced productivity. Third and fourth function controls are also available for use with special attachments. Hydrostatic, closed-center steering system with flow amplification provides fast or slow steering response, depending on the operational requirement.

8-Bar Parallel Design

8-Bar Parallel design linkage simplifies keeping forks level throughout the range of lift, without adjustment. Longer lift arms, taller front tower and higher pivot points offer more lift height and reach than conventional loaders. Superior load control is provided by more tilt capacity than lift in almost all positions.

More Seating Options

There is a wide choice of seat options. The Contour Series Seat is the premium seat option and is designed for maximum comfort and fully-adjustable support. Ergonomically shaped seat cushions reduce pressure on the lower back and thighs, while allowing unrestricted arm and leg movement. Even the arm rest angle is adjustable. Heated and air-suspension seats are among the other options to further enhance operator comfort.
