Milton CAT 988H - Manual (Page 13)

Buckets and GET. The 988H offers a
variety of bucket types and available
GET configurations to properly configure
the machine based on material density,
impact and abrasion.
Depending on your material densities,
the 988H has available a 6.4 m
3 (8.33 yd 3 )
Spade Nose bucket with teeth and bolt-
on segments for improved performance
and edge protection.
Increased full turn static tipping load,
horsepower and hydraulic capabilities
allow the 988H to effectively utilize the
6.6 m
3 (8.7 yd 3 ) and 6.9 m 3 (9.0 yd 3 )
bucket size in lighter materials such
as limestone.
To better match your 988H to material
conditions, contact your Cat dealer for
specialty bucket needs.
