Technical Description

The Ranger 958 is a robust wheel loader designed for heavy-duty construction and material handling tasks. It features a 4 cubic yard (3 m³) heaped bucket with a 10.1 ft (3 m) width, capable of high-volume loading with a dump clearance height of 10.3 ft (3 m) at maximum raise. Its overall dimensions make it suitable for large-scale operations, with a length of 26.4 ft (8 m) with the bucket on the ground, a wheelbase of 10.5 ft (3 m), and a width over tires of 9 ft (3 m). The loader sits 11.1 ft (3 m) tall to the top of the cab, offering good operator visibility and clearance. Powered by a 6-cylinder 6CTA8.3 engine with a displacement of 506.5 cu in, the Ranger 958 delivers 220 hp (164 kW) at 2300 rpm, providing strong and reliable performance. It weighs approximately 37,038 lbs (16,800 kg) and has a static tipping weight of 22,487 lbs (10,200 kg), ensuring stability during heavy lifting. It rides on 23.5x25 tires and offers a turning radius of 22.1 ft (7 m) for maneuverability in confined workspaces. The transmission is electrohydrostatic, equipped with four forward gears and three reverse gears, enabling a maximum forward speed of 22.4 mph (35 kph) and a reverse speed of 14.3 mph (23 kph). This combination of power, size, and advanced transmission technology makes the Ranger 958 a versatile wheel loader suitable for demanding industrial and construction environments.
