Caterpillar launches 920K compact wheel loader
01 July 2019
Caterpillar has launched its new 920K compact wheel loader with a net-power rating of 74 kW (99 hp) which includes significant enhancements that contribute to high productivity, versatility, operator convenience/safety, and serviceability.
New features allow operators to tailor machine performance to individual preferences for added operating efficiency, and a choice of auxiliary-hydraulic systems expand the use of work tools for added utility, says Caterpillar.
The 920K’s Cat C4.4 engine meets US Tier 3 equivalent/EU Stage IIIA equivalent emission level and is designed for fuel efficiency. The C4.4 allows operators to choose between power modes: Eco or Standard. The 920K also incorporates an “intelligent” power-management system, which balances performance and fuel efficiency, adding power when the machine senses high demands, such as climbing grades.
On-demand power adjustment means optimum productivity and hydraulic speed under load. Fuel-saving features include an on-demand cooling fan that provides fast machine warm-up and lower sound levels, while preventing over-heating in hot climates.
Caterpillar says the 920K’s deluxe cab features two side-entry doors, low-effort electro-hydraulic joystick, suspended pedals, tilt steering wheel, and an air-suspended sea. Built-in control features (some available only with the road and load feature package) significantly enhance operating efficiency and safety.
Modulated inching capability allows using the first half of brake-pedal travel to control ground speed independent of engine speed, providing optimum hydraulic performance at speeds to suit the application.
