SPECIAL MACHINE ARRANGEMENTS.
When you have a specialized operation,
you need a specialized wheel loader to
be productive. The following machine
arrangements are available for the 972H:
Aggregate Yard Loaders. The Yard
Loader Value Package provides the
ultimate in productivity and convenience.
Options such as Autolube, Aggregate
Autodig, Payload Control and Ride
Control reduce operator fatigue and
make your wheel loader the most
productive yard loader available.
Industrial Loader. Heavy duty guarding
and special features designed specifically
for industrial applications, such as waste
and scrap handling, allow the 972H to
withstand the harshest of conditions.
Work tools designed specifically for
these applications can be added to
the machine.
Lift Arrangements. High lift arrangements
are available for applications requiring
additional dump clearance. Both 2-valve
and 3-valve packages can be factory
installed for conventional and Command
Control machines.
WORK TOOLS AND QUICK COUPLERS.
A variety of buckets, work tools and
couplers are available from the factory or
from your Caterpillar dealer to customize
the 972H for your operation.
Quick Couplers. Quick couplers provide
unmatched versatility for wheel loaders.
Buckets and work tools can be changed
in seconds without leaving the cab for
maximum productivity.
General Purpose Buckets.
General purpose buckets provide good
all-around performance for stockpiling,
rehandling, excavating and bank loading.
A heavy duty general purpose bucket can
be used for more aggressive applications.
Rock Buckets. Rock buckets are designed
for face or bank loading in mining or
quarry applications. The straight-edge
rock bucket provides higher breakout
force and increased dump clearance.
The spade-edge rock bucket offers
increased penetration in certain
applications.
Material Handling Buckets. The material
handling bucket is a flat-floor bucket used
for handling stockpiled materials such as
aggregates or other easy-to-load materials
requiring moderate breakout force.
Waste Buckets. Waste buckets are
designed for long life in the harsh world
of refuse applications. This high-capacity
bucket is well-suited for loading, sorting
and other transfer station work.
Heavy Duty Quarry Buckets. The heavy
duty quarry bucket is available for high-
impact or high-abrasion quarry
applications.
Coal Buckets. Coal buckets maximize
productivity in loading and stockpiling
coal and other materials of similar density.
Woodchip and Clean-Up Buckets.
Woodchip and clean-up buckets are
available for forestry and millyard
applications.
Multi-Purpose Buckets. Multi-Purpose
Buckets have a unique four-way action
that can load, strip topsoil, bulldoze,
clamp pipe or large chunks of concrete,
clean up debris, and many other tasks.
Side Dump Buckets. Side Dump Buckets
dump both to the front and to the side of
the machine, an advantage when working
in tight quarters, such as street work,
tunnel construction and building levees.
