CATERPILLAR 926E WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar 926E is a compact wheel loader designed for versatile material handling and loading applications. Powered by a 3204 diesel engine producing 110 gross horsepower, this machine delivers exceptional breakout force of 22,143 lbs, enabling efficient bucket penetration and load engagement. The loader features a 2.3 cubic yard heaped bucket capacity with a 7.9-foot width, ideal for aggregate, soil, and general earthmoving tasks. Operating at a total weight of 20,794 lbs with a 9.5-foot wheelbase, the 926E provides excellent stability and maneuverability on confined jobsites. Its compact overall length of 21.9 feet and 7.7-foot width facilitate navigation through tight spaces, while the maximum hinge pin height of 12 feet enables efficient material discharge. The hydrostatic transmission delivers responsive performance with maximum forward and reverse speeds of 21.3 and 22.9 mph respectively, supported by rapid cycle times—1.7 seconds for dumping and 3.6 seconds for lowering. The 39.7-gallon fuel capacity ensures extended operational range, while the 24.4-gallon hydraulic reservoir maintains consistent system performance. Ground clearance of 1.2 feet and an 18.4-foot turning radius enhance mobility in congested work areas. The 926E's proven reliability, compact footprint, and powerful performance make it well-suited for construction, landscaping, farming, and light demolition applications where space constraints demand equipment versatility and efficiency.
