986K

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.

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.

Set Point for Neutralization – Start of service brake pressure modulation

Full Pedal Travel – Maximum brake pressure

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.

Designed for use in bank or face loading of limestone and other unprocessed rock. Application also includes truck and hopper loading for a wide range of quarry materials. GET includes spade nose cutting edge with adapters, half arrow segments, bottom wear plates, and side bar protectors.

Designed for use in applications like face loading tightly compacted pit materials or handling materials of moderate abrasion and high impacts. GET are similar to the rock bucket with the addition of floor liner, half radius liners and bolt-on bottom edge wear plates. 20-series mechanically attached wear plates (MAWPS) are provided for additional wear protection and improved serviceability. Base edge end protection, ski plates, additional side wear plates, wings and an extra set of side bar protectors are also included.

Designed for use primarily in stockpiling, re-handling and aggregate applications. GET includes a straight base edge with a bolt-on cutting edge system. Curved side bars are provided to aid in material retention.

Designed with a larger capacity for use in applications with light density and non-abrasive materials. GET includes a straight base edge with a bolt-on cutting edge system.

Protect expensive components. Reduce your operating costs. Get the most out of your machine’s performance. Choose from a variety of performance-built Advansys GET like these to meet your application requirements.

Simplify GET component replacement with hammerless CapSure retention for fast, easy and safe installation. CapSure tips, shrouds and sidebar protectors are easily locked and unlocked with a 180 degree turn of a ¾ inch (19 mm) ratchet.

The 986K equipped with the standard linkage is a perfect four pass match for the 770G (38.6 tonnes/42.6 tons). The 986K equipped with a high lift linkage is capable of loading a 772G (47.7 tonnes/52 tons) in 5 passes and a 773E or 773G (56 tonnes/61.7 tons) in 6 passes.
