CAT 972 Wheel Loader

The CAT 972 Wheel Loader brings premium performance with simple-to-use technologies as a standard offering, boosting operator efficiencies and delivering increased productivity. Improved performance, reliability, durability, and versatility result in a machine that is better built to meet your needs.

Lower maintenance

Save time and money with extended maintenance intervals and remote troubleshooting and flash capability. Get a better view of maintenance points with the optional under-hood service light system.

Efficient operation

Integrated CAT technologies like CAT Payload with Assist and on-board job aids make machine operation easier, so your jobsite is more efficient.

More productivity

New Autodig with Auto Set Tires offers automated loading, consistent high fill factors, and reduced tire wear, while CAT Payload with Assist helps you load to target every time to boost productivity.

Performance Series Buckets

Easy-to-load Performance Series Buckets improve material retention and reduce dig times, significantly improving productivity and fuel efficiency, resulting in unsurpassed production capabilities with increased fill factors – ranging from 100% to 115%.

Job Aids

Job Aids help make machine operation easier, while also allowing your operators improve and optimise their skills on the jobsite.

Powershift transmission

Featuring a lock-up clutch torque converter, our power trains deliver smooth shifting, fast acceleration, and speed on grade, amplifying your performance and fuel efficiency.

Aggregate handler

Aggregate packages are specialized offerings for loose aggregate rehandling applications. Payloads can be increased above other applications by installing larger buckets and counterweights in compliance with Caterpillar payload policy.

Auto Set Tires for better traction

New Autodig with Auto Set Tires assures that the front tires have adequate traction for consistent high bucket fill factors delivering up to 10% more productivity compared to previous model. Front manual differential lock is standard with optional automatic front and rear locks.

Optimised ride control

Dual accumulator system enables a better ride in loaded and unloaded situations. It improves smoothness over rough terrain, increasing confidence and efficiency and ensuring excellent material retention.

CAT Payload technology

CAT Payload technology delivers precise bucket load information with on-the-go weighing, which helps prevent over-or underloading. The low lift weigh and manual tip-off functions optimize the final bucket process and maximise efficiency.
