Model History and Information: The Cat® 980 is a large wheel loader built for high-production loading of trucks and hoppers in aggregates, quarrying, and heavy construction. Current production runs a Cat C13 engine with four forward and reverse speeds and Caterpillar's Electronic Clutch Pressure Control shifting system, which the manufacturer states smooths gear changes under load. The 980 sits in Caterpillar's wheel loader range above the mid-size 966 and below the larger 988, giving it more lift and bucket capacity than the mid-size loaders while remaining more maneuverable than Caterpillar's largest machines.
