Configured to Succeed
The CAT® wheel loaders are the new benchmark in terms of productivity, energy efficiency, and driver comfort. The compact 908 Cat wheel loader is equipped with a high-torque C2.8 engine that works in conjunction with an intelligent hystat drivetrain to provide exceptional energy efficiency. Depending on regional requirements, our engines produce emissions equivalent to those of Stage IIIA for the European Union (Tier 3 EPA for the United States) or those of Stage V for the European Union (Tier 4 Final EPA for the United States), thanks to a clean emissions module designed to self-manage so that you can focus on the task at hand.
Enjoy Unlimited Comfort
The brand new cabin is spacious, quiet, and comfortable. It also offers 360° visibility, allowing you to stay productive throughout the day. The seat-mounted controls include a multifunction manipulator for lifting and tilting functions, as well as a thumb-controlled speed range, a forward/neutral/reverse (FNR) switch, a differential lock switch, and a constant flow switch. An optional dedicated manipulator for a fourth function is also available. The digital display with touch keys allows for customization of settings to easily control the linkage and powertrain, further enhancing comfort and safety.
Powerful And Economical
The C2.8 Cat Engine is clean and quiet, while providing significant performance and robustness, thanks to a low speed and high torque design. Caterpillar's intelligent power management system monitors the operator's actions and available power to optimize machine operation. The "Shift on the go" locking differentials and hydrostatic transmission ensure smooth and powerful operation while increasing machine cycle efficiency. The new drivetrain mode (all-purpose) allows the machine to be operated with the right pedal via the screen. This allows the operator to better control the equipment's speed and ground speed compared to the control and slow approach pedal."""
An Easy Job
All-in-one manipulator to stay focused on work while optimizing the operation of hydromechanical equipment through a peak compensation electrohydraulic circuit. Optimized Z-linkage for high performance and great versatility, with buckets now bearing the DNA of large Cat loaders: curved side plates and flat stiffening tube for a parallel reference to the cutting edge.
Customize Your Experience
Connect with your machine by customizing the commands. The operator can adjust the responsiveness of the machine simply by pressing a button, depending on the equipment or application. Once customized, the settings can be locked with the "simplified mode" so that the machine is consistent and intuitive for each user. The machine's safety is enhanced by a standard key code or optional Bluetooth® technology."""
After-sales and Maintenance
A range of services as well as post-sales adaptations and upgrades are available to keep your machine running and configured for your application. Maintenance parts available, including a range of self-service options (SSO) and dealer kits. Integrated technology available to reduce maintenance costs.
