The Medium Wheel Loader (i.e. 950 through 982) and Large Wheel Loader (i.e. 988 through 994) hourly fuel rates are taken directly from customer machines
registered on Product Link worldwide. Data from the top and bottom 5% of these customer machines has been excluded from the tables because it varies
widely (15-60% from the extremes shown) and therefore is not considered representative of what the remaining 90% of customers experience. Hourly fuel
consumption for the 90% of machines in the tables also varies depending upon geographical region, load factor variation between units, etc. Cat machines
are often used in more demanding applications which can account for differences between competitive models used in lighter duty applications. Consult your
local Cat dealer for ways to more accurately estimate hourly fuel consumption for specific applications.
5
Machines that meet Tier 4 Final/Stage IV/Japan 2014 (Tier 4 Final) emission standards require the use of DEF with a consumption rate approximately 2-3%
of diesel fuel.
6
These hourly fuel rates reflect the actual field population which includes a mix of machines operating with Economy Mode ON and machines operating with
Economy Mode OFF. It has been demonstrated that operating in a typical application with Economy Mode ON can deliver 8% lower fuel consumption.
NOTE: Medium Wheel Loaders
Machines are not available in all regions. Contact your local Cat dealer for product availability.

 Owning & Operating Costs 8 Hourly Fuel Consumption Tables
● Wheel Loaders and Integrated Toolcarriers

Compact Wheel Loaders

Typical Application Description
(relative to work application)
Low Light industrial or construction site duties. Moving light loads with bucket or pallet forks.
Not continuous duty, considerable idle time. Machine could be working on average 2 hours
or less per day.
Medium Intermittent aggregate truck loading from stockpile, hopper charging or load and carry on
firm, smooth surfaces for short distances with minimal grades. Free flowing, low density
materials. Light utility, industrial and construction applications. Light snowplowing.
High Continuous truck loading from stockpile and hopper charging. Loading from bank or load
and carry on normal surfaces with low to medium rolling resistance and slight adverse
grades. Low to medium density materials in properly sized bucket. Assumes normal travel
distances associated with high productivity stockpile load-out and batch plant applications.
Load Factor Guide
(percent of available horsepower required for each work application)
Low 0%-25%
Medium 25%-50%
High 50%-75%

Small, Medium and Large Wheel Loaders and Integrated Toolcarriers

Typical Application Description
(relative to work application)
Low Intermittent aggregate truck loading from stockpile, hopper charging or load and carry on
firm, smooth surfaces for short distances with minimal grades. Free flowing, low density
materials. Light utility, industrial and construction applications. Light snowplowing. Most
logging applications where there is considerable idling.
Medium Continuous truck loading from stockpile and hopper charging. Loading from bank or load
and carry on normal surfaces with low to medium rolling resistance and slight adverse
grades. Low to medium density materials in properly sized bucket. Assumes normal travel
distances associated with high productivity stockpile load-out and batch plant applications.
High Loading shot rock (large loaders) from a face. Steady loading from very tight banks. Continuous
work on rough or very soft surfaces with high rolling resistance. Load and carry in hard dig-
ging material with longer travel distances on poor surfaces with adverse grades. Handling
high density materials with counterweighted machine.
Small and Medium Wheel Loader and Integrated Toolcarrier
Load Factor Guide
(average engine load factor based on application description for each range)
Fuel rates can vary for a specific load factor depending on model and application, therefore some
overlap is shown in the load factor table.
Low 15%-30%
Medium 25%-35%
High 30%-45%
Large Wheel Loaders
Load Factor Guide
(average engine load factor based on application description for each range)
Low 35%-50%
Medium 50%-65%
High 65%-80%
