New Caterpillar^® Fusion™ Wheel Loader Coupler System Brings Load Close to the Loader for High Performance with Expanded Versatility

DEN BOSCH, The Netherlands, March 2009 — Caterpillar Work Tools B.V. introduces the new Fusion™ wheel loader quick coupler. The Cat^® Fusion Wheel Loader Coupler System pulls the coupler and work tool closer to the wheel loader for machine performance comparable to pin-on—with all the versatility and flexibility of a coupler. The patented design moves the center of gravity closer to the machine, yet the coupler enables the loader to conveniently pick up and use a wide range of work tools.
 

“Fusion is designed for Caterpillar wheel loader models ranging from the 938H to the 972H, including the IT38 and IT62. The unique, single interface allows many machines to share the same work tools—a cost reducing system for multi-loader fleets,” said Dave Becktel, Commercial Manager, Caterpillar Work Tools B.V.

Fusion also gives the operator excellent sight lines to the work tool, load and target location. The new, open coupler frame design makes it easier than ever before to engage and disengage attachments. Offset tines and other design attributes of Fusion Pallet Forks work in conjunction with the Fusion Coupler to increase visibility of the tines at ground and truck bed height for confident and efficient handling of palletized loads.
