FEATURES AT A GLANCE

LONG TERM VALUE AND DURABILITY

Your bottom line is improved by highly durable structures that achieve multiple life cycles and withstand the toughest loading conditions.

Full box-section rear frame resists torsional shock and twisting forces.
Heavy-duty steering cylinder mounts efficiently transmit loads into the frame.
Cast axle pivot mounting areas better disperse stress loads for increased structural integrity.

Your key to maximum uptime and productivity is our field-proven lift arms.

Excellent visibility to the bucket edges and work area through a Z-bar design.
High load stresses are absorbed by the solid steel lift arms.
Enhance strength in key pin areas through the use of one piece castings.

To ensure long life and reliability, the linkage pin joints feature a greased pin design with optional auto lube system.

PROVEN RELIABILITY

Building your success begins with a best-in-class transmission designed specifically for mining applications.

Consistent, smooth shifting and efficiency through integrated electronic controls.
Heat treated gears and shafts extend component life and maximize reliability.
Four forward and four reverse speeds to match your application.

Durability and efficiency at the heart of your 986K comes from the Cat® C15 engine. Optimum performance is built in to this 6 cylinder turbocharged engine.

Meets Tier 4 Final/Stage IV, or China Nonroad Stage III and Brazil MAR-1 emission standards equivalent to Tier 3 and Stage IIIA.
Mechanically Actuated Electronic Unit Injection (MEUI™) gives the C15 complete control over injection timing, duration and pressure.
The Advanced Diesel Engine Management (ADEM™) A4 electronic control module manages fuel delivery to optimize performance and provide quick engine response.

Extends service brake life by neutralizing transmission as service brakes are applied.
Allows full power to implement system while the machine is stationary during truck loading.
