FOUR NEW C-SERIES SKID STEERS INTRODUCED
Four new Cat C-Series skid steer loaders – the 246C, 256C, 262C and 272C – are designed to set new standards in machine control with features such as electro-hydraulic joystick control of the hydrostatic drive system and electronic torque management for smooth operation and high productivity. For operator comfort, these new models feature an optional sealed and pressurized cab and an optional air suspension seat. Additional options, such as High Flow XPS hydraulics on each of the models, expand versatility and enable users to equip C-Series machines specifically for their applications.
With a rated operating capacity of 3,250 pounds (1,474 kg), the vertical lift 272C is Cat’s largest capacity skid steer loader. The smaller 246C and 256C are radial lift machines with rated operating capacities of 2,150 pounds (975 kg) and 2,350 pounds (1066 kg), respectively.
The 3.3 litre turbocharged Cat 3044C DIT engine, used in all four models, powers up to 90 net hp (67 kW) in the 272C. Both the 262C and 256C deliver 82 net hp (61 kW), and the 246C generates 73 net hp (54 kW).
