Model History and Information: The Cat® 972M is a full-size wheel loader built for demanding loading and load-and-carry work in aggregates, quarrying, and heavy construction. The M-series update to the 972 carried the model through Caterpillar's broader M-series redesign, which added electro-hydraulic joystick steering as an option to conventional controls and updated the engine and hydraulic systems to the era's emissions standards. This 1:87 scale model equips the 972M with a log fork attachment in place of the standard bucket, along with two simulated logs, representing the loader configured for log handling rather than general earthmoving.
