Long-term profitability and long lifespan
Robust Structures Boost your results with ultra-resistant structures capable of performing multiple life cycles and supporting the most difficult loading conditions. The fully enclosed rear chassis resists both torsional forces and shocks. The extra-robust anchorages of the steering cylinders efficiently transmit the loads to the chassis. The mounting areas of the axle pivots are molded to better dissipate stresses for increased structural integrity. Handling Arms The efficiency of our field-proven handling arms means maximum availability and productivity for you. Excellent visibility on the bucket blades and work area thanks to the Z-linkage. Absorption of high-stress loads by solid steel handling arms. Increased resistance in key areas thanks to the use of monoblock castings. Front Linkage To ensure optimal lifespan and reliability, the axis joints of the linkage are designed with an optional automatic lubrication system.
Proven reliability
Powershift Transmission with Cat Planetary Gears ® Your success relies on a superior transmission, specially designed for mining applications. Smooth and efficient gear shifting thanks to integrated electronic controls. Gear and shaft heat treatment to extend component lifespan and optimize reliability. Four forward gears and four reverse gears to adapt to all your applications. Cat C15 Engine The exceptional lifespan and efficiency of your 986K come from its Cat C15® Engine. This 6-cylinder turbocharged engine is designed for optimal performance. Complies with Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emission standards or Chinese Stage III standards for non-road engines and Brazilian MAR-1 standards equivalent to Tier 3 and Stage IIIA standards. The Mechanical Electronic Unit Injector (MEUI™) system provides perfect control of timing, duration, and injection pressure for the C15 engine. The Advanced Diesel Engine Management (ADEM™) electronic control module manages fuel supply to optimize performance and provide quick engine response. Transmission Neutralization Pedal Extends brake lifespan by neutralizing the transmission when the maneuver brake is applied. Allows full power delivery to the equipment circuit when the machine is stationary during dump truck loading. Neutralization set point - Start of maneuver brake pressure modulation Full pedal stroke: maximum braking pressure

Pressurized cabin with filtered air. Low noise levels. Conveniently positioned storage tray/lunch basket at ground level.
Productivity boosted by technology
Integrated electronic controls provide varying levels of information for the job site and the operator. This integration creates an intelligent machine and allows the operator to be better informed for improved productivity. Displaying Information We have worked tirelessly to help our customers and operators improve their performance through our optimized touch screen. Intuitive operation and easy navigation through our enhanced user interface. Operators kept informed at all times of machine circuit operation for reduced maintenance times. Cat Production Measurement Transmits payload weight to the cab, allowing operators to weigh loads "on the fly" during loading operations. Loads are weighed as the bucket is raised during the lifting cycle, eliminating the need to interrupt the loading cycle and improving loading efficiency. Operators can view the load weight on the display screen. Instant feedback allows operators to work more efficiently. Operators can monitor recorded weight and cycle data through the display. Tire Pressure Monitoring System Tire pressure monitoring is a fully integrated feature that allows operators to monitor tire inflation. Through the information display, the operator can quickly see the current pressure and temperature settings of each tire. Product Link™ Cat Elite Streamline equipment management with remote monitoring Product Link. The Advanced Productivity application (available by subscription) optimizes operations on job sites with detailed information such as payload, cycle, fuel consumption ratio, and remote management of the dump truck/material list. Remote access to information through the user-friendly VisionLink® interface. Maximize productive time by staying informed about machine circuits and diagnostic codes. Track machine data such as usage, fuel consumption, and payload. Stay informed about machine location, maintenance meter hours, and reports. """
Reduced maintenance and upkeep
Because the very design of our 986k allows for reduced immobilization, it will be the key to your success. Longer maintenance intervals for fluids and filters. Safe and convenient maintenance thanks to grouped maintenance points, accessible from the ground or platform. Centralized ground-level greasing points for greasing articulation joints. Centralized remote pressure points for powertrain components.
