Hydraulics
Exceptional lift, breakout and power to meet your needs.
High Performance Hydraulic System
Maximum power and reliability are built into the Cat Compact Track Loader hydraulic
system. In addition to providing power to the tracks, this system also powers the
loader lift and tilt functions, powers the auxiliary circuit to drive work tools and
drives the engine cooling fan. The hydraulic system features increased lift and
tilt breakout forces allowing you to move more material and get more done.
The continuous demand fan provides improved fuel efficiency, increased horsepower,
reduced sound levels and improved cold weather performance. Cat ToughGuard™
hoses increase reliability and durability. High capacity hydraulic tank and side-by-
side cooling package keep components cool for maximum durability.
High Flow XPS
High flow XPS hydraulic system is available on all models for greater machine
versatility. Maximum performance can be maintained regardless of the work
tool speed or conditions with this load sensing, pressure compensating system.
Cat cooling systems are sized to allow the operator to continuously power high
flow work tools in conditions that cause competitive machines to overheat.
Selectable Implement Control
The Selectable Implement Control option with three levels of control gives the
operator the ability to adjust the responsiveness and speed of the lift and tilt
functions for more precise implement control.
Standard Two Speed
Two speed, offered as standard equipment, increases top speed up to 13.6 km/h
(8.5 mph) allowing you to finish jobs faster.
Steel Embedded Rubber Track
Undercarriage
Industry-first suspended undercarriage for versatility, durability, comfort.
Caterpillar introduces the industry’s first fully suspended undercarriage for a
Compact Track Loader. The heavy-duty torsion axles suspend the CTL undercarriage
and can move independently relative to the machine and each other. These axles
absorb most of the shock to the undercarriage, machine and operator, especially
over rough terrain. This means smooth travel, even at high speeds, as well as
better load retention and greater productivity. The tread design ensures a smooth
ride and a great combination of traction and flotation. The C Series 2 CTL offers
ground pressures ranging from 29.5 kPa (4.3 psi) to 30.9 kPa (4.5 psi).
The CTL undercarriage system features highly durable and easily maintained
components. Steel imbeds provide a rigid support for the entire width of the track
and provide excellent durability in a wide variety of applications. Continuously
wound cables hold these imbeds in place and provide tensile strength, ensuring the track does not stretch. Following the same
philosophy as Cat Track-Type Tractors, the elevated external positive drive system keeps drive components away from ground debris.
Planetary final drive motors improve torque and drawbar performance, delivering more power to the ground. Steel rollers with metal
face seals provide maximum protection for wheel bearings resulting in long-term durability and reliability in even the toughest
conditions. The simple recoil grease tensioning system allows quick track tension adjustment.
