Model History and Information: The Cat 297D2 is a multi terrain loader that rides on a rubber-track undercarriage for flotation and stability on soft or sensitive ground, delivering low ground pressure Caterpillar rates at 4.2 psi (28.8 kPa) over a 2,561-square-inch contact area. Its vertical-lift boom gives a rated operating capacity of 3,290 lb at 35 percent of tipping load, rising to 4,700 lb at 50 percent, with a 9,400-lb tipping load and a tilt-cylinder breakout force of 7,468 lb. Standard equipment includes a two-speed drive, an enclosed cab with heater, a suspension seat, and standard-flow hydraulics feeding a 78-inch dirt bucket. Compatible with many Cat work tools, it handles loading, grading, and material handling on ground too soft or sensitive for a wheeled loader.
