2. Caterpillar's new C-Series multi terrain loaders

Outdoor Power Equipment, June, 2007

Caterpillar's new C-Series multi terrain loaders, the 277C, 287C and 297C, offer enhanced performance and comfort, and a new undercarriage design. They deliver greater lift and tilt forces when compared to equivalent B-Series models. For comfort, the C-Series loaders are available with an optional sealed and pressurized cab and an optional air suspension seat. The undercarriage boasts 18-inch-wide rubber tracks with 3 rows of lugs; the additional row enhances guiding when working on side slopes. The undercarriage's track tensioning system was simplified for quicker and easier adjustments, and its open design reduces material buildup and minimizes the need for cleaning.
