EQUIPMENT

The development of the industry’s first true excavator style boom (enabling excellent clearance over objects), remains a signature trademark of the Cat backhoe.

The new Cat F2 Series backhoe loader range builds on 30 years of concentrated Caterpillar research and development and remains the class leader across all industries.

On the F2-Series, the lock-up torque converter provides a direct ratio between power pack and driveline when in the roading gears. This results in a 16% decrease in fuel consumption and an 11% increased average speed. The lock-up torque converter is an invaluable addition when travelling between job sites.

In-cab, a new LCD display provides the information needed to monitor machine performance. New switches feature improved back lighting for easy use in all ambient- light conditions, and longer-life LED rear lights are now standard. (This cab view shows the machine specified with mechanical controls.)
