Features

Waste Handling Track Loaders

● Debris Barrier Package protects machine from mate- rial entering engine and other compartments. ● Lamp guard group protects front and rear lamps with bolt on grids. ● Optional rear striker bars keep trash from climbing the track and damaging fenders. ● Optional final drive abrasion guards are available in two-piece or four-piece sections to protect the final drive case from premature wear from abrasion or gouging. ● Optional trapezoidal-shaped center hole track shoes provide maximum traction. The center holes allow sprocket to punch out dirt and debris, best choice for landfill applications. ● Hydraulic reversing fan (953D and 963D) or variable pitch cooling fan (optional on 973D) manually or auto- matically changes direction to purge accumulated debris from the radiator. ● Cab and Operator Comfort — Standard air suspen- sion seat, air conditioning, adjustable steering pedals, storage area, and excellent visibility enable the oper- ator to be more comfortable in this application for better profitability.

Features: ● Unmatched versatility — excavates, loads, carries, covers, dozes, spreads, compacts, shreds, sorts, grapples — a true all purpose machine. Performs well as a one-machine fleet, a support machine or an all- around backup unit. ● Demolition applications — The Waste Handling Arrangement (963D and 973D Waste Extreme Ser- vice) can also be used in demolition or demolition transfer stations when properly equipped with the extra guarding required for this severe environment. ● Special guard protects the final drive seals, pivot shafts and idlers from debris that can wrap around and damage these components. ● Cat Turbine Precleaner with prescreener to prevent airborne debris from clogging engine air intake. ● Additional heavy duty guarding helps protect sheet metal and machine components from damage in waste handling applications. ● Improved serviceability — swing open doors, guards and air coolers give quick access for cleaning debris and servicing. ● Hinged, heavy duty radiator guard with quick release “T” handles allows for easy access to clean the radiator.
