C-SERIES SKID STEERS OFFER BIG MACHINE PERFORMANCE
Four new Caterpillar C-Series skid-steer loaders – 246C, 256C, 262C, 272C – extend the Caterpillar line. With a rated operating capacity of 3,250 pounds (1474 kg), the 272C is the largest capacity skid-steer loader Caterpillar has produced. The vertical lift 272C is joined by the smaller 262C (shown above), which has an operating capacity of 2,700 pounds (1225 kg) and also features vertical lift for enhanced truck loading capabilities. The 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 Cat 3044C DIT engine powers high performance in all four models. The 3.3-litre engine is turbocharged for a wide power range. At 90 net horsepower (67 kW), the 272C is the most powerful skid steer Caterpillar has ever offered. Both the 262C and 256C deliver 82 net hp (61 kW), and the 246C generates 73 net hp (54 kW).
