Frames
The robotically welded two­piece structural frame design
provides a rugged and reliable foundation for the machine
that improves stability, performance, and serviceability.
A robust articulating hitch system joins the front and rear
frames improving durability. Enhanced lines routings across
the hitch joint streamline the manufacturing process and
improve reliability and durability.
Engine
The new Cat C9.3 ACERT engine was designed to optimize
power density. It uses a combination of technologies to reduce
regulated emissions while ensuring high performance and
excellent fuel efficiency. An upgraded ADEM™ 4 electronic
control module manages the combustion process and a
new high­pressure common rail fuel system allows precise
injection timing for a clean, efficient fuel burn. The rugged
Cat Clean Emissions Module is securely rubber mounted
on its own platform above the engine and contains a
Diesel Oxidation Catalyst, Diesel Particulate Filter and
Cat Regeneration System. Regeneration, the process by
which soot is removed from the Diesel Particulate Filter,
is completely automatic and does not interrupt the
machine’s work cycle.
Emissions
The 966K features a Cat C9.3 ACERT engine and a
Cat Clean Emissions Module to deliver the performance
and efficiency that customers demand, while meeting
Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emission standards. The six­cylinder
electronic engine is turbocharged and aftercooled. ACERT™
Technology is a combination of building blocks that includes
electronics, fuel systems, air management systems and
aftertreatment components. The system is optimized based
on engine size, the type of application and the geographic
location in which it will work. The technologies are applied
systematically and strategically to meet high customer
expectations for productivity, fuel effi ciency, reliability
and service life.
Axles
The 966K axles are designed to handle extreme applications
resulting in reliable performance and extended life. The front
axle is rigidly mounted to the frame in order to withstand
internal torque loads and still maintain support for the wheel
loader. The rear axle can oscillate to ±13 degrees helping to
ensure all four wheels stay on the ground providing stability
even in the roughest terrain.
