The front axle is rigidly mounted to the frame to support the weight of the wheel loader and withstand internal torque loads as well as external forces encountered throughout operation. The rear axle is designed to allow 13 oscillation. All four wheels remain on the ground over uneven terrain providing excellent stability and traction.

EPA TIER III, EU STAGE III COMPLIANT C7 ENGINE. ACERT Technology combines proven systems with innovative new technologies to precisely deliver fuel to the combustion chamber. It maintains engine performance, efficiency and durability while dramatically reducing emissions. The Cat C7 with ACERT Technology is a 7.2 L displacement, 6-cylinder, electronically governed engine. Electronic fuel injection is provided through the well-proven Caterpillar hydraulically actuated, electronically controlled unit injection (HEUI) system. A wastegate turbocharger, equipped with a titanium wheel for improved durability, combined with air-to-air aftercooling (ATAAC) provides consistent high horsepower with increased altitude capability. Electronic Controller. The engine is governed by the ADEM A4 electronic control module. The controller continually adjusts engine output based on load demand using a series of sensors located on the machine and engine.

Integrated Braking System. The Cat exclusive Integrated Braking System reduces axle oil temperatures and improves transmission neutralizer smoothness. IBS has a direct impact on durability of the axles and brakes especially in applications involving long distances and/or heavy braking. STRUCTURES. The articulated frame design of the 962H features a durable box-section engine frame and rigid four-plate loader tower that is robotically welded. Robotic welding creates frame joints with deep plate penetration welds and excellent fusion for maximum strength and durability.

Counterweight. The one-piece counterweight is integrated into the 962H design and styling. This 3084 lb (1399 kg) counterweight incorporates the rear lights into the top of the structure. Spread Hitch. The distance between the upper and lower hitch plates is an important contributor to machine performance and component life. The Caterpillar spread hitch design provides excellent load distribution and bearing life. Both the upper and lower hitch pins pivot on double tapered roller bearings improving durability by distributing both vertical and horizontal loads over a larger surface area. The wide opening also provides excellent service access.

Linkage. The 962H linkage is a singletilt Z-bar design. Z-bar linkage generates excellent breakout force and good rack back angle for better bucket loading and load retention. Lift arms are solid steel, providing superior strength with an excellent front end viewing area. The proven design offers excellent dump clearance and reach for exceptional matching to both on- and off-highway trucks.

Engine End Frame (EEF). A full boxsection engine end frame with hitch plates at the front end provides a strong, rigid structure that resists twisting and impact loads. The result is an extremely solid mounting platform for the engine, transmission, axle, ROPS and other accessories.

Non-Engine End Frame (NEEF). The non-engine end frame provides a solid mounting base for the front axle, lift arms, lift cylinders and tilt cylinders. The fabricated, four-plate loader tower absorbs the forces associated with loading, twisting and penetration.

Rotary sensors, for the tilt lever and lift circuit allow the operator to electronically set detent positions from the cab. A guard covers the sensor to protect it from damage.

PRODUCTIVITY

On many competitive machines, gross horsepower is constant, meaning that net engine power available for actual work will vary based on demands made from parasitic sources, such as air conditioning or cooling fans. The Cat C7 engine is electronically configured to provide constant net horsepower at full parasitic load enhancing productivity and improving fuel efficiency. On-Demand Fan. With electronic control of the variable speed on-demand fan, temperature levels of the engine coolant, transmission oil, hydraulic oil and air inlet manifold are constantly monitored. This data is used to control and maintain fan speed at the level necessary to maintain normal system temperatures. Controlled fan speed improves fuel efficiency, lowers noise levels and reduces radiator plugging.

Separated Cooling System. Many competitive loaders use cooling systems that pull air in from the sides, through the engine compartment and exhaust it out the rear of the machine. The 962H cooling system is isolated from the engine compartment by a non-metallic shield. The hydraulically driven, variable speed fan draws in clean air from the rear of the machine and exhausts it out the sides and top of the hood. The end results are optimal cooling efficiency, increased fuel efficiency, less radiator plugging and reduced operator sound levels.

PLANETARY POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION. The electronic planetary powershift transmission with automatic shift capability is designed and built by Caterpillar. The very responsive, full-power speed and directional changes provide excellent cycle times and productivity. VARIABLE SHIFT CONTROL.
