CATERPILLAR 950M WHEEL LOADER

The Caterpillar 950M Wheel Loader is a versatile, mid-sized machine designed for efficient material handling with bucket capacities ranging from 2.5 to 9.2 m³ (3.3-12 yd³). It is powered by a Tier 4/Stage V Cat C7.1 engine delivering up to 250 HP (232-253 metric HP) at 2,100 rpm and a peak torque of 908 ft·lbf at 1,300 rpm, ensuring robust performance across demanding tasks. The hydraulic system features a variable axial piston pump with 76 gal/min max output at 2,150 rpm and operating pressure up to 4,250 psi, enabling fast, precise implement cycles with a total hydraulic cycle time of 8.9 seconds. Dimensionally, the 950M measures approximately 22.8 to 24.6 feet in length without a bucket, with a maximum width over tires of 9.3 feet and a wheelbase of 11 feet. The machine offers a hinge pin height at maximum lift up to 13.3 feet (standard lift) or 14.8 feet (high lift), facilitating efficient material loading at various heights. Ground clearance is around 1.2 feet, and the height to the top of the ROPS is about 11.4 feet, providing operator safety and excellent site visibility. The operating weight is roughly 42,357 lb. Transmission allows five forward speeds up to 24.5 mph and three reverse speeds up to 16 mph. Static tipping load exceeds 25,900 lb for stable operation during loading cycles. Service capacities include a 72.6-gallon fuel tank, 33 gallons of hydraulic oil, and appropriate capacities for cooling system, crankcase, and differentials. Sound levels comply with ISO standards, maintaining operator and environmental noise within regulated limits. The 950M is engineered to deliver productivity, durability, and compliance with modern emissions and safety standards.
