Cat 992K Large Wheel Loader

The 992K retains the durability and reliability of the proven Cat C32 diesel with ACERT™ Technology. Like all Cat machines, this engine has been completely integrated into all machine systems resulting in power curves, fuel maps and ratings that are unique to this machine and applications. The solid foundation of this engine starts from our legendary foundries delivering the highest quality engine block. The mechanically actuated, electronically controlled unit injection (MEUI™) ensures that fuel is metered out in optimal quantities for both power and efficiency.

The 992K Positive Flow Control (PFC) Hydraulic System is setting a new standard for hydraulic response, performance and efficiency. The implement system is equipped with two electronically controlled, fully variable piston pumps for fast, productive cycles. PFC has concurrent pump and valve control. By optimizing pump control, hydraulic oil flow is proportionate to implement lever stroke. Benefits:

• Lowered fuel consumption by up to five percent
• Improved hydraulic response, giving the operator better feel and control of the bucket
• Improved power efficiency and lower system heat

The 992K sets a new benchmark in operator comfort for this size class with a completely new cab. The new cab interior has been increased giving operators plenty of room for long work shifts. Operators will appreciate this increased room when the standard trainer seat is occupied. As the benchmark for operator comfort the 992K does not compromise on safety. Standard 76 mm (3 in) wide retractable seat belts for an operator and trainer provide comfort while keeping both occupants safe. Conversations between them will be easier with a more quiet cab while automatic temperature controls ensure they do this in complete climate comfort. Vibrations are kept to a minimum with Cat Comfort seat with air suspension and viscous cab mounts. Operators will appreciate improved air quality with a pressurized cab and filtered air. Operators can set automatic bucket heights for easier truck loading or feeding a crusher. The implement controls are finger tip controlled and low effort.

The 992K electronic systems have been completely integrated to function as one machine. This integration creates a smart machine and more informed operator maximizing the productivity of both.

Up to 10 separate operator profiles can be stored through Advisor. Screen layouts and machine settings can instantly be recalled providing a quick and consistent setup between operators.

Payload Control System 3.0 is standard on the 992K providing owners and operators the ability to manage truck payloads and produce accurate records of material movement. This system is designed for on the go weighing. Up to 1,000 trucks can store 25 different materials for comprehensive record accuracy of job site performance.

Operators can easily set the dump height, return to dig/carry or bucket angle from the comfort of the cab. Standard, in-cab programmable kickouts are located in the upper left panel. This feature provides more flexibility and improved productivity when the job requires load and dump target heights.

Cat® Product Link enables convenient, remote monitoring of equipment. Get usable information to keep jobs on schedule, maintain machine health and reduce fleet owning and operating costs.

Caterpillar's commitment to quality is profound. We design to a higher standard so that your business can prosper.

• All of our parts are subject to quality and conformance checks. We collaborate with suppliers early in the design phase for their knowledge and manufacturing experience.
• New designs undergo Finite Element Analysis telling us where stresses congregate under loads typical of the machine's application. New castings are virtually monitored to evaluate fill quality and temperature exchange.
• A shake table simulates thousands of hours of use in days - allowing engineers to validate durability. Further analysis on airflow, ergonomics, performance, and ISO standard compliance are performed on prototype and field follow machines.
• Further tests are performed by operators and technicians for comfort, ergonomics and serviceability either in 3D virtual environments or on the iron.
• You should know that all new product introductions at Caterpillar are guided by your voice and input, the voice of our dealer organization and their mechanics, and on our ability to physically manufacture a new design. These are just some of the criteria that make Cat products leaders in the industry, and help us ensure long life, reliable machines for your business.

Applications: Face loading tightly compacted pit materials. Moderate abrasion factors and high impact loads are suitable for this bucket.

You can't buy a better performing or longer lasting tip than Cat K Series ground engaging tools. Short of a missing operator, nothing affects the productivity of your loader more, so consult your Cat dealer if your current system isn't living up to expectations. When worn beyond use by such materials as iron ore, K Series are easy to change out - no hammer required. A full list of Cat GET can be found on http://www.Cat.com/get.
