Structures

Best built for the toughest conditions.

Robust Structures

Your bottom line is improved by highly durable structures that achieve multiple life cycles and withstand the toughest loading conditions.

• Full box-section rear frame resists torsional shock and twisting forces.
• Heavy-duty steering cylinder mounts efficiently transmit loads into the frame.
• Cast axle pivot mounting areas better disperse stress loads for increased structural integrity.

Lift Arms

Your key to maximum uptime and productivity is our field-proven lift arms.

• Excellent visibility to the bucket edges and work area through a Z-bar design.
• High load stresses are absorbed by the solid steel lift arms.
• Enhance strength in key pin areas through the use of one piece castings.

Front Linkage

To ensure long life and reliability, the linkage pin joints feature a greased pin design with optional auto lube system.

Power Train

Move material more efficiently with improved power and control.

Cat Planetary Powershift Transmission

Building your success begins with a best-in-class transmission designed specifically for mining applications.

• Consistent, smooth shifting and efficiency through integrated electronic controls.
• Heat treated gears and shafts extend component life and maximize reliability.
• Four forward and three reverse speeds to match your application.

Cat C15 ACERT Engine

Durability and efficiency at the heart of your 986H comes from the Cat C15 ACERT engine. Optimum performance is built in to this 6 cylinder turbocharged engine.

• Mechanically Actuated Electronic Unit Injection (MEUI™) controls injection pressure over the entire engine operating range. This gives the C15 ACERT engine complete control over injection timing, duration and pressure.
• Extended engine life through Cat components with proven reliability.
• The Advanced Diesel Engine Management (ADEM™) A4 electronic control module manages fuel delivery to optimize performance and provide quick engine response.

Transmission Neutralizer Pedal

• Extends service brake life by neutralizing transmission as service brakes are applied.
• Allows full power to implement system while the machine is stationary during truck loading.

2) Set Point for Neutralization - Start of service brake pressure modulation 3) Full Pedal Travel - Maximum brake pressure

Sustainability

Stewards of the environment.

Reducing Impact to the Environment

Sustainability is designed and built into our 986H’s features.

• Engine Idle Shutdown can help you save fuel by avoiding unnecessary idling.
• Reduce waste with our maintenance free or extended maintenance batteries.
• To assist with maximizing machine life, Caterpillar provides a number of sustainable options such as our Reman and Certified Rebuild programs. In these programs, reused or remanufactured components can deliver cost savings of 40 to 70 percent, which lowers operating cost while benefiting the environment.
• Caterpillar offers retrofit packages to bring new features to older machines, maximizing your resource. And, when you go through the Cat Certified Rebuild program, these retrofit kits are part of the rebuild process.

System Match Efficiency

Efficient loading/hauling system starts with a perfect match.

Efficient Combination

For full truck payloads with minimum loading time, an efficient loading/hauling system starts with a perfect match. Cat wheel loaders are matched with Cat articulated and off-highway trucks to maximize volume of material moved at the lowest operating cost per ton. The 986H equipped with the standard linkage is a perfect four pass match for the 770G (38.6 tonnes/42.6 tons). The 986H equipped with a high lift linkage is capable of loading a 772G (47.7 tonnes/52 tons) in 5 passes and a 773E or 773G (56 tonnes/61.7 tons) in 6 passes.

Bucket Ground Engaging Tools

Protect your investment.

Performance Series Buckets

Performance Series Buckets feature an optimized profile maximizing material retention and minimizing dig time, translating into significant productivity and fuel efficiency improvements. All 986H buckets are manufactured with the Performance Series design.

Rock Bucket

Applications: Face loading tightly compacted pit materials.

General Purpose Bucket

Applications: Loading loose, stockpiled material.

Quick Coupler

The optional quick coupler allows the operator to quickly switch between multiple work tools, making the 986H highly versatile.

GET Options

Multiple GET options are available to customize your 986H to your application, such as:

• Sidebar protectors.
• General duty and penetration tips.
• Standard and half arrow segments.

Enhance the productivity of your loader and protect your investment in buckets with our Ground Engaging Tools (GET). Your knowledgeable Cat dealer will work with you to understand your application and needs for the GET that is best for you. For a full list of Cat GET please visit http://www.cat.com/get.
