Products Description
The Caterpillar 988 Wheel Loader is a large-capacity loading machine built for high-production jobs where power, durability, and efficiency are essential. It is widely used in mines, quarries, aggregate plants, ports, steel plants, large construction sites, and other heavy material handling applications.
This model is commonly equipped with a Cat C18 diesel engine, delivering strong gross power of approximately 555–588 hp, depending on series and configuration. With an operating weight of around 109,000 lbs, the machine provides excellent stability and traction when handling heavy materials such as rock, ore, gravel, sand, coal, and construction aggregates.
The Caterpillar 988 Wheel Loader can be matched with large bucket capacities, generally ranging from approximately 8.2 to 9.2 cubic yards, making it suitable for high-volume loading, truck loading, stockpiling, and production work. Its rated payload of around 12.5 tons helps customers improve jobsite output and reduce loading cycles.
For efficient operation, this loader can feature economy mode, flow-sharing hydraulics, and advanced power management to help control fuel consumption while maintaining strong loading performance. Some variants, such as XE electric-drive versions or special log-handling configurations, may offer additional efficiency and application flexibility.
Operator control and machine protection are also important advantages of this model. The large loader design can include an Impeller Clutch Torque Converter Pedal system, helping manage rim-pull, reduce tire spin, and improve control during heavy digging and loading work. This helps improve tire life, machine stability, and overall jobsite productivity.
As a used large wheel loader, the Caterpillar 988 Wheel Loader offers strong value for mining companies, quarry operators, contractors, equipment rental companies, and machinery dealers who need powerful loading capacity at a competitive purchase cost. Before shipment, we can provide real machine photos, working videos, engine starting videos, bucket operation videos, cabin details, tire condition, articulation checking, loading photos, and live video inspection to help overseas buyers confirm the actual machine condition before purchase.
