Intuitive operation and easy navigation with our enhanced user interface.
Decrease service time by keeping operators informed about machine systems.

Brings payload weighing to the cab, enabling operators to weight loads on-the-go during loading operations. Loads are weighed as the bucket is raised during the lift cycle – eliminating the need to interrupt the load cycle, improving loading efficiency.

Operators can view load weights on the information display.
Instant feedback gives operators the confidence to work more effectively.
Operators can track recorded weights and cycles using the display.

Tire pressure monitoring is a fully integrated feature which allows operators to monitor inflation of tires. Available through the Information Display, the operator can quickly see the current pressure settings and temperature of each tire. Take the guesswork out of asset management with Product Link remote monitoring.

Advanced Productivity App (Available as Subscription) helps to optimize worksite operations with detailed payload, cycle, fuel report and remote truck/material list management.
Remote access to information through the easy-to-use VisionLink® interface.
Maximize uptime by staying informed on machine systems and diagnostic codes.
Track machine with utilization, fuel usage, and payload summaries.

PURPOSE BUILT SPECIALTY MODELS

The 986K Block Handler delivers stability and durability with an optimized counterweight for block handling applications. 986K Block Handling Features

The Block Handler includes an additional hydraulic valve with the Quick Coupler, allowing the operator to switch work tools and immediately lock the work tool during load and carry applications. The 986K Block Handler comes equipped with larger tilt cylinders on the linkage that help improve load control and ensure safe and long lasting operation. Ride control works by using an accumulator to dampen the linkage motion, acting as a shock absorber. It provides the operator with a smoother ride over rough terrain, enabling a more comfortable ride at higher speeds. The 986K Block Handler linkage is designed specifically for block handling applications. The linkage layout maximizes machine stability by keeping the payload close to the front tires and pin locations are designed to optimize performance with a quick coupler and fork.

Linkage layout designed to maximize lift capability in block handling application.
High load stresses are absorbed by solid steel lift arms.
Enhanced strength in key pin areas through the use of one piece castings.
Stress released lift arms increase durability and lengthen time to repair.
