Time is money. Optimizing the unloading time is what it is all about when it comes to machine selection. You can load many types of machines inside a shiphold but none would provide the perfect match for the application as the Track-Type Loader can thanks to the combination of tracks giving traction, loader arm for the reach and engine at back for the machine balance.

Track-Type Loaders

Shiphold/Port Handling
Infinite Variable Speeds (hydrostatic transmission)
- Smooth controls, more operator comfort
- Increased operator productivity
Joysticks for Transmission and Work Tools
- Easy to maneuver
- Intuitive controls minimize training requirements
High Reach Work Tool
- Loader arm allows cleaning of the walls of the hold
- Increases versatility of the machine
Track-Type Undercarriage
- Low ground pressure for better traction in some materials
- Several shoe widths available or can be manufactured at order to meet customer requirements
- Optional center hole shoes reduce track packing and track chain tightening which extends undercarriage life
Lifting Eyes
- Front eyes welded on the Track Roller Frame (TRF)
- Rear eyes mounted on the main frame
- Wide spacing for good stability during lifting
Sound
- Sound suppressed cab and air suspended seat reduce operator fatigue and increase concentration
- The sound levels measured per ISO 6396 reach 76 dB(A) for 963D
Visibility
- Large windows all around operator and clipped engine enclosure provide excellent view to the environment and the work tool
- Day and night operations are lighted with 8 halogen lights: 4 lights facing frontward, 2 lights facing rearward and 2 facing sideways
Rear Engine and Cooling System Location
- Improved machine balance
- Engine less exposed to dust, increase engine life
- Limit plugging of radiator core
- Better visibility at front
- Reduce O&O cost
Reversing Fan
- The air flow can be either automatically or manually reversed. Maintains proper heat transfer by blowing material out of the radiator core.
- The hinged radiator grill gives easy access to the cooling system of the machine
- The hinged hydraulic fan makes the cleaning of the radiator easy and faster
Heavy Duty Bumper
- Gives outstanding protection for the rear of the machine
- Cooling system is well protected in case of accidental impacts with a wall of the shiphold
Maintenance and Serviceability
- Filters and other systems are accessible from the ground on each side of the machine
- Cab can be tilted 90° with a crane or 30° with a hydraulic jack allowing job site repair
- Makes the maintenance of the machine easier for engine or hydraulic components
Engine Air Precleaner
- Debris is centrifugally removed from the airstream and delivers cleaner air to the engine filter
- Air filter life is extended
Work Tools and Optional Equipment

Designed to meet your needs
Work Tool Options
- Pin-on trim blade for all material
- Pin-on trim blade for coal
- Pin-on general purpose bucket
- Pin-on multi purpose bucket The 963D can also be equipped with a Fusion™ quick coupler that allows to switch work tools easily.
- Fusion™ trim blade for all material
- Fusion™ GP bucket standard width and wide width (for lighter materials)
- Fusion™ MP bucket
- Fusion™ Forks
Other work tools from other products such as wheel loaders are compatible or can be made compatible with the 963D Fusion quick coupler. Please contact your work tool representative for more information.
Additional Fuel Tank
Additional fuel tank increases the working time into the shiphold. The unloading process is simplified and the ship unloading duration is optimized. • The 963D can work 20 hours without refill
For additional information on the Track-Type Loader D series, please refer to the 953D, 963D and 973D specalogs.
Features
When the attachments are available a typical Track-Type Loader working in the shiphold/port handling application needs to be equipped with the following recommended features:

- Joystick for the transmission control
- Front guard for hydraulic tank
- Guards for lift and tilt cylinders
- Guard for the track rollers
- Heavy duty bumper
- Reversing fan
- Engine air precleaner
- E-SALT tracks equipped with center hole shoes
