Model History and Information: The Cat® 988K belongs to a wheel loader line Caterpillar has built since 1963, when the 988 was introduced for high-production face loading in quarries and mines. It uses a Cat C18 engine meeting Tier 4 Final and EU Stage IV emission standards, paired with strong lift and breakout performance and a comfortable, productive operator station. Rather than the standard loading bucket, this 1:50 scale model is fitted with a log grapple work tool with upper clamp arms, a front attachment used for handling logs and other bulky loose material instead of bucket face loading.
