Milton CAT 980K - Manual (Page 2)

980K Key Features and Benefi ts
Performance Series Buckets
With standard Performance Series Buckets, operators
benefi t from reduced dig times and better material
retention; ultimately translating into signifi cant
productivity and fuel effi ciency improvements.
Load Sensing Hydraulics
Load sensing hydraulics produce fl ow and pressure
for the implement system upon demand and only
in amounts necessary to perform the needed work
functions, enhancing machine productivity and
fuel effi ciency.
Operator Environment
The new four post ROPS cab provides enhanced
comfort, visibility, and productivity resulting in a
more effi cient operator.
Cat ® C13 ACERT™ Engine
The innovative Cat C13 ACERT engine is optimized
for maximum fuel effi ciency and increased power
density while meeting Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB
emission standards.
Lockup Torque Converter
The optional lockup torque converter on the
980K signifi cantly enhances productivity and
fuel effi ciency while performing load and carry
applications, especially on grades.
Powershift Transmission
The K Series™ transmissions incorporate a new
shifting strategy that delivers smoother shifts,
faster acceleration, and increased travel speed
when climbing a grade.
Fuel Effi ciency
The 980K wheel loaders have been integrated as
a system; from the linkage and work tool carrying
the payload, to the engine, transmission and torque
converter moving the machine, the system has
been optimized to achieve the lowest cost per ton.
