High Performance Power Train |
Caterpillar hystat power train delivers aggressive performance and easy operation
|
| |
| Cat Diesel Power |
The heart of the Cat Skid Steer Loader power train is the Caterpillar 3024C diesel engine in the 216B and the Caterpillar 3024C Turbo diesel engine in the 226B. This rugged, reliable, four cylinder engine offers aggressive performance and a fast torque curve for quick response. It is also a low emission engine, fully U.S. EPA Tier 2 compliant.
|
Dual Engine Throttle Controls
|
The hand and foot throttles allow the operator to match engine speed to the task. The hand throttle is ideal for jobs requiring consistent engine speed - such as cold planing, trenching or snow blowing. The foot throttle lets the operator vary engine speed and minimize fuel consumption for other tasks such as load and carry, truck loading, grading and dozing. |
|
|
|
|
Anti-Stall Feature.
|
| The anti-stall system on the Cat Skid Steer Loader allows maximum power to the wheels while minimizing engine stalling. This system helps maximize productivity for experienced operators and makes it easier for novice operators to become productive. |
|
|
|
| Variable-Displacement Piston Pumps. |
The dual, variable-displacement, axial piston pumps are driven directly off the engine and provide hydraulic flow to the drive motors via a closed loop system. Drive motors transfer mechanical power to the wheels via two highstrength, pre-stressed chains per machine side. Chains run in an oil bath for constant lubrication and long life. Chains are adjustable through slots in the axle housings. |
|
| |
Drive Axles.
|
|
The drive axles are forged and induction hardened for maximum life. They include a unique lip and outer seal to help prevent debris such as wire and twine from wrapping around the axle and destroying the seal. An inner seal is used for permanent lubrication of axle bearings so no daily axle service is required.

Advanced Hydraulic System
Hydraulic system has built-in reliability and provides exceptional lift, breakout and auxiliary power to work tools
|
|
|
Power and Reliability
Maximum power and reliability are built into the Cat Skid Steer Loader hydraulic system. In addition to providing power to drive the wheels, this system also provides the loader lift and tilt functions, powers the auxiliary circuit to drive work tools and drives the engine cooling fan.
|
| |
Auxiliary Hydraulics
|
Standard auxiliary hydraulics to power work tools are available through quick connect hydraulic couplings that are rigidly mounted to the loader arm. The Caterpillar line of high pressure XTTm ES hoses and O-ring face seals help assure a leak free system.
|
|
|
|
| Hydraulic Pumps |
The hydraulic pumps are driven directly off the engine for maximum hydraulic performance and reliability - no belts are used. Pumps are fixed-displacement and provide flow to the loader and auxiliary circuits at 60 L/min (15.6 gal/min) at high idle. Maximum system pressure for the loader and auxiliary circuit for the 216B is 21400 kPa and 3 100 psi. Maximum system pressure for the loader and auxiliary circuit for the 226B is 23 000 kPa and 3335 psi. Two fixed displacement gear pumps provide flow and pressure for the 226B high flow loader and auxiliary circuit at 100 L/min at high idle. Maximum system pressure for the loader and auxiliary circuit is 23 000 kPa and 3334 psi. |
| |
Reliability and Cleanliness. |
| Hydraulic system reliability and cleanliness are improved by using single components in place of multiple components, such as the monoblock hydraulic valve and monoblock pumps. Fewer leak points improve reliability and result in a cleaner machine. In addition, hydraulic oil flows through a 5-micron spin-on filter. A filter restriction indicator is located at the operator station. A 74-micron screen in the hydraulic tank prevents larger debris from entering the system and causing damage to the hydraulic components. |
| |
Hydraulic Oil Cooler |
A high-efficiency hydraulic oil cooler lets the Cat Skid Steer Loader work longer and harder in higher ambient temperatures, even when using continuous high flow work tools. The high capacity, hydraulic oil reservoir also helps keep operating temperatures lower.

| |
| Quick Coupler |
|
Work tools can be changed quickly and easily with the Cat Skid Steer Loader's quick coupler system. The universal coupler interface features:
|
|
Low profile side plate designed for optimum match to work tools and minimal material packing |
 |
Opposing wedges ensure a tight tool fit, even after years of use |
|

|
|
|
The standard quick coupler features manual engagement and disengagement of work tools using two high leverage handles. An optional hydraulic quick coupler is also available and allows engagement and disengagement of work tools without the operator needing to exit the machine. Control of the coupler by use of a rocker switch inside the cab makes work tool changes quicker and easier.
