Please contact your dealer to properly select the machine configuration for handling target payloads in your specific machine application. Machine and work tool availability varies by region. Contact your local Cat dealer for product availability. Based on 2438 mm (96") carriage, Fusion coupler and Fusion pallet fork. Static tipping loads and operating weight are based on the following loader configuration: L3 Michelin XHA tires, air conditioning, ride control, power train guard, full fluids, fuel tank, coolant, lubricants, and operator. Static tip- ping loads conform to the international standard as defined in ISO* 14397-1 (Sept2007). Specifications and ratings conform to the following standards: ISO 14397-1, SAE** J1197, SAE J732, CEN*** EN 474-3.
