Used CAT Front Loader 966 Wheel Loader Caterpillar 966H Used Caterpillar 966H Loaders

Comprehensive description of Caterpillar CAT® 966 GC wheel loader:

I. Basic parameters

Complete machine configuration

Tonnage: Medium-sized wheel loaders above 6 tons, the whole machine working mass is 21,577 kg (about 21.6 tons), and some sources are marked as 21,781 kg (including tire deformation).

Bucket capacity: 3.8–7.1 m³ (standard configuration), which can be adapted to high-performance series buckets to meet the needs of different scenarios such as general, rock, and light materials.

Power system: Equipped with Cat C9.3B turbocharged diesel engine, rated net power 196 kW (ISO 9249 standard), maximum gross power 239 kW (ISO 14396 standard), meeting the emission standards of US Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, and China Non-Road National IV.

Travel performance: Four-speed design, maximum forward speed 34.8 km/h, reverse speed 36.9 km/h, climbing ability up to 30°.

Operational performance

Digging force: 164 kN (with bucket teeth and tooth blocks), static tipping load 13,640 kg (rigid tires), suitable for high-intensity material handling.

Hydraulic cycle time: 6.5 seconds to lift from the carrying position, total cycle time 12 seconds, and unloading time only 2.7 seconds, improving operating efficiency.

Lifting capacity: Maximum unloading height 4,256 mm, maximum digging radius covers a wide range of operating scenarios.

2. Core configuration and design highlights

Hydraulic system

Load sensing hydraulic technology: Dual plunger pumps provide a maximum flow of 320 L/min, and the main pump pressure is 34.3 MPa, accurately matching operating requirements and reducing energy consumption.

Optional auxiliary functions: The third function hydraulic system supports quick connection of a variety of work tools (such as Cat Fusion™ quick connectors) to improve versatility.

Energy saving and environmental protection

Intelligent idle management: Engine idle shutdown (EIS), variable speed fan and load sensing system work together to significantly reduce fuel consumption.

Clean emission module: integrated SCR catalyst and diesel particulate filter (DPF), complying with emission regulations in many countries without affecting operating efficiency.

Operation and maintenance

Driving comfort: full view cab equipped with heating/air conditioning system, rearview camera and LCD display, the operation interface is ergonomic.

Maintenance convenience: centralized lubrication points, gull-wing engine hood design, and optional automatic lubrication system shorten maintenance time.

III. Performance advantages

High efficiency and versatility

Suitable for a variety of scenarios such as material handling, truck loading, construction, etc., especially good at high-intensity operations such as mining and municipal engineering.

High-performance bucket design increases the full bucket coefficient by 10%, and with the Cat Payload kit, accurate weighing can be achieved during driving to optimize loading efficiency.

Economical and durable

Modular structure and high-strength steel extend the life of key components, and the fuel tank capacity of 320 L reduces the frequency of refueling, and the long-term use cost is controllable.

IV. Applicable scenarios

Mining: high digging force and stability are suitable for ore loading and crushing operations.

Infrastructure construction: such as road construction and material handling in earthwork projects.

Municipal and agricultural: Flexibly adapt to a variety of tooling and machinery to meet the needs of refined operations.
