High Lift is a linkage option |
The CAT 988K High Lift is a large wheel loader designed for high-production loading in quarries, aggregates operations, and mining, especially where extra dump clearance is needed to load large off-highway trucks efficiently.
The High Lift configuration uses a different front linkage that provides greater dump height and reach, allowing it to load taller trucks, such as the Cat 773 and 775, in fewer passes than the standard lift arrangement.
Yes, the 988K is built as a large production-class loader with a heavy-duty frame, robust axles, and components specifically designed for long hours in demanding applications such as quarry face loading and stockpile work.
The operating weight of a 988K configuration is around 51 tonnes, depending on bucket size and optional equipment fitted to the machine.
The 988K is equipped with a Cat C18 diesel engine delivering 430–440 kW of gross power (about 580–590 hp), providing the torque and rimpull needed for demanding loading work.
When used in typical quarry face applications, the 988K family has a rated payload of about 11.3 tonnes for face material and about 14.5 tonnes for loose, lower-density material, with the High Lift linkage providing the height needed to place that load into larger trucks.
Bucket options usually range from about 4.7 m³ up to around 13 m³, depending on material density and application, allowing configuration for heavy rock, general aggregates, or loose stockpile work.
With the High Lift linkage, the 988K is designed to pass-match well with trucks such as the Cat 773 and 775, typically loading them in approximately 5–6 passes, which supports high productivity at the face or load-out area.
The 988K series is engineered to reduce fuel consumption compared with older models, with features like economy mode, improved hydraulic efficiency, and engine management that can deliver notable fuel savings per tonne moved.
Yes, 988K models are available with Cat Payload / Cat Production Measurement systems that weigh material in real time so operators and managers can track tons moved and optimize loading efficiency.
The machine can connect to Cat telematics and productivity platforms, providing data on utilization, fuel burn, payload, and fault codes to help manage maintenance and improve site productivity.
The 988K cab features a pressurized environment, an adjustable seat, good visibility, and ergonomic controls to reduce operator fatigue during long shifts.
It uses electro-hydraulic controls with integrated steering and transmission functions, providing precise control, smooth response, and easier maneuvering in tight loading areas.
Large glass areas, mirrors, work lights, and an available rear-view camera system improve visibility, helping the operator see the work area, travel path, and trucks during loading.
The loader incorporates features such as oil-cooled braking, load-sensing steering, good access with handrails and non-skid steps, and visibility aids like cameras and optional detection systems to reduce risk on site.
Yes, the 988K can monitor tire pressures and send alerts through the monitoring system, helping prevent premature tire failures and unplanned downtime.
The onboard monitoring system displays alerts and fault codes so operators and service personnel can address issues before they lead to failures.
The machine is designed with grouped service points, ground-level access to key filters and drains, and easy-access doors that simplify daily checks and scheduled maintenance.
Ecology drains for engine, coolant, and hydraulic oil help technicians drain fluids cleanly into containers, reducing the chance of spills on site.
Service intervals depend on operating hours and site conditions, but Caterpillar provides recommended schedules for engine oil, filters, and other components, and many fleets plan maintenance around hour-meter thresholds specified in the official maintenance guide.
Yes, quarry face loading is one of the primary design applications, where the machine’s power, bucket capacity, and high-lift linkage allow fast truck loading cycles.
The 988K High Lift works well in load-out applications, moving high volumes of aggregates from stockpiles into trucks, hoppers, or conveyors thanks to its reach, capacity, and maneuverability.
For some surface mining and small to mid-size mining applications, the 988K High Lift offers enough power and bucket capacity to serve as a primary or support loader, especially where flexibility and mobility are important.
Customers can typically choose different bucket types, tire options, guarding packages, cold-weather features, and technology packages such as payload and advanced productivity tools.
Most buyers work with a Cat dealer to match bucket size, High Lift linkage, tires, and technology options to the material density, required truck match, and production targets for their specific site.
