Cat 982M Medium Wheel Loader

About the Cat 982M Medium Wheel Loader

The all-purpose 982M Wheel Loader is a great 2-pass match for larger on-highway trucks, bank excavation and even face loading in well shot rock loading applications. The 982M has longer standard lift arms than the 980M making it a great rail car loader due to the higher hinge pin height. With a full range of bucket sizes and types, the 982M provides you an exciting new option in this size class.
