The Caterpillar 980 is a large wheel loader used in quarry, aggregate, construction, and material handling applications. Built by Caterpillar, the 980 series is designed for high-capacity loading, stockpiling, truck loading, and general earthmoving work. Typical features include a front-mounted bucket, articulated steering, and a diesel powertrain matched to heavy-duty cycles. Depending on model year and configuration, the Caterpillar 980 may include advanced hydraulics, operator comfort features, and fuel efficiency systems. It is commonly selected for demanding job sites that require strong breakout force, reliable performance, and efficient material movement.
