The Cat® 988 GC Wheel Loader helps you move more material at a low cost per hour for a fast return on your investment. This machine offers significant fuel savings and up to 10% lower owning and operating cost than the 988K.

MOVE MORE MATERIAL EFFICIENTLY AND AT A LOW COST

Two engine emission options are available: 1. Meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, and Japan emission standards. 2. Meets Brazil MAR-1 emission standards, equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA.

Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with fan at minimum speed, air intake system, exhaust system, and alternator.

The air conditioning system on this machine contains the fluorinated greenhouse gas refrigerant R134a or R1234yf.  See the label or instruction manual for identification of the gas. - If equipped with R134a (Global Warming Potential = 1430), the system contains 1.8 kg (3.9 lb) of refrigerant, which has a CO2 equivalent of 2.574 metric tonnes (2.837 tons).

Rollover Protective Structure/Falling Objects Protective Structure (ROPS/FOPS) meet ISO 3471:2008 and ISO 3449:2005 Level II standards

* For machines in European Union countries and in countries that adopt the “EU Directives” and “UK Directives.”

** European Union Directive “2000/14/EC” as amended by “2005/88/EC” and UK Noise Regulation 2001 No. 1701.

The machine sound power level was measured according to ISO 6395:2008. The measurement was conducted at 70% of the maximum engine cooling fan speed.

The operator sound pressure level was measured according to ISO 6396:2008. The measurement was conducted at 70% of the maximum engine cooling fan speed.

Hearing protection may be needed when the machine is operated with a cab that is not properly maintained or when the doors or windows are open for extended periods or in a noisy environment.

Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) and are compatible* with ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels** up to: - 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) *** - 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details. * While Caterpillar engines are compatible with these alternative fuels, some regions may not allow their use. ** Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from lower-carbon intensity fuels are essentially the same as traditional fuels. *** Engines with no aftertreatment devices are compatible with higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel (for use of blends higher than 20% biodiesel, consult your Cat dealer).

Specifications are calculated with 6.9 m3 (9.0 yd3 ) rock bucket equipped with Michelin XLDD1 35/65 R33 tires.
