CATERPILLAR 287 MULTI-TERRAIN LOADER

The Caterpillar 287 Multi-Terrain Loader has a greater reach and lift height than other similar machines because of its vertical lift construction. The result allows for quicker and easier truck loading. Its conventional suspended undercarriage design achieves outstanding traction, float, speed, and ride quality. All of this while exerting very little ground pressure and causing little ground disturbance throughout a broad variety of underfoot terrain. In terms of operator comfort, performance, and adaptability, Cat Multi Terrain Loaders are unrivaled in the market.

Performance and Fuel Economy

The Caterpillar C3.3B engine, which is electronically regulated, produces high horsepower and torque while fulfilling U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Tier 4 Final (EU Stage IIIB) pollution criteria. It is possible to get a high-flow XPS hydraulic system for applications that need the highest possible hydraulic work tool performance. The hydraulic system of the Cat Multi Terrain Loader is designed to provide maximum power and dependability. It also powers the loader lift and tilt features, an auxiliary circuit for driving work tools, and the engine cooling fan and delivers power to the track system.

The hydraulic system of the Caterpillar 287 provides increased lift and tilt breakout forces, enabling you to move more material and do more in less time. Fuel economy, horsepower, and noise levels are all enhanced thanks to the continuous demand for fans, improving cold-weather performance. Cat ToughGuardTM hoses improve the dependability and longevity of the system. The high-capacity hydraulic tank and side-by-side cooling package keep components cool, allowing them to last as long.

Design, Comfort, and Quality

With the industry’s most advanced sealed and pressurized cab option, you can enjoy a cleaner and quieter working environment while maintaining good tool vision. A high-back, heated, air-ride seat with adjustable joystick controls positioned on the seat makes the D Series the industry’s best in operator comfort, according to the manufacturer. In addition to industry-leading technology and integration, Cat’s “Intelligent Leveling” system (ILEV) offers optional capabilities such as dual direction self-leveling, work tool return to dig, and work tool positioner.

When used in conjunction with the optional Speed Sensitive Ride Control system, the standard twin level suspension undercarriage results in enhanced load retention, improved operator comfort, and one of the smoothest rides on the market. The twin suspension undercarriage is equipped with oscillating roller wheel assemblies that may be independently pivoting to give the most track possible on the ground. The Cat Multi Terrain Loader is the most adaptable equipment on the worksite because of its extensive selection of performance-matched Cat Work Tools.

A Capable Multi-Terrain Loader

By using the optional Advanced Display, the operator can increase machine capabilities and control. This allows for on-screen changes for implement reaction, hy-stat response, and creep control, among other things. In addition, the display has multi-language capabilities with adjustable layouts, a security system, and a rearview camera as standard. Due to easy access to all daily services and regular maintenance locations on the ground floor, reduced machine downtime leads to higher production overall.

The Caterpillar 287 has a robust, resilient rubber track that is lightweight and malleable but is reinforced with high tensile strength cords to provide maximum durability and performance. The low ground pressure provided by the undercarriage enables the machine to run on sensitive surfaces and in soft underfoot conditions without causing damage. Positive track drive components are elevated and protected from ground debris thanks to an internal positive track drive system. Heavy-duty torsion axles support each side of the machine frame individually, allowing for a more comfortable ride over difficult terrain. Components may be replaced as separate worn items, lowering the overall cost of ownership and operation.
