** †Changes in bucket weight, including field installed wear iron, can impact rated payload. Consult your Cat dealer for assistance in selecting and configuring the proper bucket for the application.The Cat LargeWheel Loader Payload Policy is a guideline intended to maximize wheel loader structural and component life.The Cat Payload Policy is that the “Gross Bucket plus Payload Capacity” is the MAXIMUM weight that should be carried on the end of the Lift Arm/Boom. * ††Raise is from carry position for the 972H and 980H. NOTE: 972H and 980H Net Engine Power is provided according to SAE J1349 and ISO 9249. Gross Engine Power is provided according to SAE J1995.The 972H and 980H are not available in all regions. Contact your local Cat dealer for product availability.
