Detailed Description & Features

The Used CAT 966 Wheel Loader is a robust, work-proven machine engineered for demanding construction, quarry and material‑handling environments. Powered by the Caterpillar C11 ACERT engine rated at 195 kW, this loader balances fuel-efficient performance with ample tractive capability. Its 4.2 m³ bucket and dependable load‑sensing hydraulics make it a versatile asset for loading, stockpiling and site clean-up operations.

Core strengths*

Power and durability: the C11 ACERT powertrain delivers consistent torque for heavy-duty cycles while the 23.8 t chassis offers stability under load.

• Bucket and versatility: the standard 4.2 m³ bucket supports a wide range of materials; adjustable bucket positions improve cycle efficiency and grading control.
• Hydraulics and control: load-sensing hydraulics optimise flow and response, reducing fuel consumption during variable work patterns.
• Operator environment: enhanced visibility and ergonomics help reduce operator fatigue and improve site safety during extended shifts.
• Serviceability: routine access points and simplified maintenance items are designed to lower downtime and lifecycle cost.

Applications and ideal users

This machine suits contractors, aggregate producers, municipal fleets and rental companies that require a dependable loader for loading trucks, stockpile management, roadworks and site preparation. The Used CAT 966 Wheel Loader is particularly effective where a balance of bucket capacity, breakout force and maneuverability are required.

Operational advantages*

Consistent productivity — the matched engine and hydraulic system maintain cycle times under variable loads.

• Lower owning and operating costs — straightforward service points and durable components reduce scheduled maintenance time.
• Adaptability — a wide range of attachments is available to tailor the loader to specific tasks, from pallet forks to high‑capacity buckets.

Maintenance and service considerations

Used machines should be inspected for wear items such as tyres, bucket cutting edges and hydraulic hoses. The CAT 966's design emphasizes accessible service points—filters, valves and routine check locations are positioned to reduce the time required for inspections and oil changes. When procuring a used unit, request maintenance records and consider a pre-delivery inspection that includes hydraulic system checks, engine diagnostics and structural assessment.

Attachments and customization

The machine supports a broad selection of attachments to expand its utility. Common choices include general-purpose buckets, high‑capacity buckets, rock buckets, pallet forks, bale spears and hydraulic quick couplers. Selecting the right attachment optimizes machine productivity and can improve fuel economy for specific cycles.

Logistics, availability and procurement

Originating from Shanghai and supplied under the CAT brand lineage, these used CAT 966 Wheel Loader units are available with a typical delivery lead time of 15–20 days. Supply capacity is listed at 10,000 units per month; procurement teams should confirm specific unit condition, refurbishment level and documentation at inquiry to ensure alignment with project schedules.

Why choose this used CAT 966 Wheel Loader

For buyers focused on a dependable loader with proven mechanical architecture, easy maintenance and broad attachment support, the Used CAT 966 Wheel Loader represents a pragmatic choice.
