Overview

Customer Story

Redesigned Operator Station

Redesigned Operator Station delivers a larger operating environment, and combined with additional seat travel, the 265 provides more space for operators of any size. The optional one-piece, sealed, and pressurized cab offers a clean and quiet workspace with excellent air distribution through optimally placed vents throughout the cab.

Ventilated and heated high-back air ride seat

Available ventilated and heated high-back air ride seat with seat mounted adjustable joystick controls deliver industry-leading operator comfort.

High-performance power train

High-performance power train provides selectable settings for drive power priority and maximum travel speed (overdrive) to customize the machine performance to match the task.

Three levels of auxiliary hydraulic performance

Three levels of auxiliary hydraulic performance available Standard Flow, High Flow, and High Flow XPS. Standard flow for attachments that require a base level of auxiliary flow and horsepower, High Flow boosts the auxiliary flow for applications that demand additional hydraulic flow for increased attachment performance, and the High Flow XPS hydraulic system provides maximum auxiliary hydraulic performance by delivering additional flow and additional pressure for the most demanding attachments and applications

Electronically controlled Cat C2.8TA engine

Electronically controlled Cat C2.8TA (turbo after-cooled) engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards while delivering maximum horsepower across a wide RPM range and providing high torque for increased working performance, no matter the application

Torsion suspension undercarriage and two-speed travel

Standard torsion suspension undercarriage and standard two-speed travel, combined with the optional Speed Sensitive Ride Control system improves operation on rough terrain, enabling better load retention, increased productivity, and greater operator comfort.

Advanced Touchscreen Monitor

The 20.3 cm (8-inch) Advanced Touchscreen Monitor offers cutting-edge functionality and control that includes an integrated radio, Bluetooth® connectivity, and multi-camera (side-view) option, and supports 32 different language choices.

Advanced Joysticks

Maximize machine capability and control with the Advanced Joysticks. The Advanced Joysticks provide unmatched control of machine functions and adjustments within the display without the operator having to remove his hands from the controls. This includes the on-joystick navigation of the Advanced Touchscreen Monitor, radio volume up/down/mute, creep activation, creep on/off, creep speed increment/decrement, one-button Smart Attachment control activation, and additional auxiliary control buttons that deliver single-button control of complex attachment functions

Ground-level access

Ground-level access to all daily service and routine maintenance points help reduce machine downtime for greater productivity.

Broad range of performance-matched Cat Attachments

Broad range of performance-matched Cat Attachments make the Cat Compact Track Loaders the most versatile machine on the job site.
