270 Skid Steer Loader

Power. Performance. Comfort.

The Cat® 270 Skid Steer Loader, with its vertical lift design, delivers extended reach and lift height for quick and easy truck loading. Its stability and lifting performance provides excellent material handling.

Equipment Highlights

High Performance Power Train

High performance power train provides maximum performance and production capability through the Electronic Torque Management system, optional two speed travel and an electronic hand/foot throttle with decel pedal capability.

Redesigned Operator Station

Redesigned operator station delivers a larger operating environment. Combined with additional seat travel, the 270 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 and seat-mounted adjustable joystick controls deliver superior operator comfort.

High Flow XPS Auxiliary Hydraulic System

High Flow XPS auxiliary hydraulic system, delivering high flow and high pressure, is available for applications that demand maximum hydraulic work tool performance.

High Horsepower, High Torque Engine

Electronically controlled Cat C3.6TA (turbocharged, aftercooled) engine delivers maximum horsepower across a wide RPM range and provides high torque for increased working performance, no matter the application. The engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.

Ride Control

Speed sensitive ride control option 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

The Advanced Joysticks provide unmatched control of machine functions and adjustments within the display without having to remove your hands from the controls. This includes 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 helps reduce machine downtime for greater productivity.

Cat Attachments

The broad range of performance matched Cat Attachments makes the Cat Skid Steer Loader the most versatile machine on the job site.
