CATERPILLAR 928GZ WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar 928GZ is a compact wheel loader designed for versatile material handling with an operating weight of approximately 27,140 lbs (12,310 kg). Powered by a Cat 3056E DIT ATAAC engine, it delivers a rated net power of 143 hp (107 kW) at 2300 rpm, featuring low fuel consumption and compliance with Tier 2 emission standards. The loader’s hydraulic system includes a fixed displacement vane-type implement pump with a flow capacity of about 40.15 gal/min (151 l/min), supporting efficient lift, dump, and lowering cycles with times of 6.1, 1.2, and 2.8 seconds respectively. Its general-purpose bucket offers a struck capacity of 2.3 cu yd (2 m³), a heaped capacity around 2.7 cu yd (2 m³), and a maximum breakout force of 25,844 lbs (11,723 kg), optimal for heavy material handling tasks. The machine features a bucket width of roughly 8.4 ft (2.55 m) and a maximum lift hinge pin height of 12.8 ft (4 m), with a maximum dump clearance near 9.5 ft (3 m) at 45° dump angle. The loader is equipped with oscillating axles allowing ±11° oscillation, enhancing stability on rough terrain. Its wheelbase measures about 9.6 ft (3 m), and the steering articulation angle is 40°, enabling a tight turning radius of approximately 17.2 ft (5.25 m). Operator safety and comfort are ensured by SAE and ISO-certified ROPS/FOPS cab protection systems, an enclosed cooling system, and optional sound suppression features. The Cat 928GZ is engineered for durability, ease of maintenance, environmental compliance, and productivity across various construction and industrial applications.
