New Cat® Wheel Loader Meets Low-Cost Targets


Cat’s new loader, the CAT 988 GC, offers up to 5% less fuel consumption and up to 15% lower maintenance costs than the Cat 988K, allowing customers to move more material at a lower cost per hour for a faster return on investment.

The 988 GC is optimized as a 45-tonne (50-ton) truck match loader with a 3909 mm (12.8 ft) dump clearance which delivers efficient loading up to the Cat 775G truck. As the bucket payload is matched to the 988K, the new 988 GC offers up to 670 tonnes/hour (740 tons/hour) productivity in shot rock truck loading applications and up to 527 tonnes/hour (581 tons/hour) for load-and-carry operations.

The new loader comes with a Cat C15 engine, which offers configurations to emit equivalent to EU Stage IIIA / U.S. EPA Tier 3 or meet EU Stage V / U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final emissions standards. The 988 GC’s cooling package offers higher heat rejection with an on-demand fan strategy and two available fan speed settings for standard and high-ambient-temperature configurations.
