Cat Wheel Loaders:

982M Wheel Loader | Front Loader | Tier 4

Net Power - ISO 9249
398 hp
Operating Weight
78402 lb
Engine Model
Cat C13 ACERT
Displacement
763 in³

The all-purpose 982M Wheel Loader is a great 2-pass match for larger on-highway trucks, bank excavation and even face loading in well shot rock loading applications. The 982M has longer standard lift arms than the 980M making ita great rail car loader due to the higher hinge pin height. With a full range of bucket sizes and types, the982M provides you an exciting new option in this size class.
