Caterpillar launches new series of D2 loaders

Three new loader models feature advanced display, enhanced operating capacities, reduced emissions and sealed engine compartment.

Caterpillar, Peoria, Illinois, has introduced the new D2 Series loaders: the 272D2 skid steer loader, the 297D2 multiterrain loader and the 299D2 compact track loader. 
 
The company says the three new loaders offer the following features: 
  • More powerful XHP counterparts build on engineering advances in performance, operator comfort, visibility, control and machine security of predecessor models
  • Standard exclusive Caterpillar heads-up advanced display
  • New engine-compartment sealing system for enhanced airflow debris control
  • Increases in rated operating capacity for non-XHP models; XHP models maintain their ROC numbers without external counterweights
  • All models feature a vertical-lift loader linkage and use a Cat C3.8 engine meeting U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV emissions standards
  • In addition to providing a theft deterrent system, the Advanced Display accommodates up to 50 operator security codes
  • Full-color, 5-inch LCD monitor enables on-screen adjustment of implement response, hydrostatic drive response, creep control speed, ride control activation speed, language preference and gauge layout selection
  • Available rearview camera displaying high resolution images is standard on the XHP models
  • Increases in Rated Operating Capacity of up to 8 percent, the D2 Series models provide excellent lifting performance for heavy loads and/or handling larger hydro-mechanical work tools
  • Sealing around the rear engine enclosure and cooling package is now standard for all D2 models. The standard sealing package provides enhanced protection against material ingestion in applications with a high volume of airborne debris
  • Hydraulically driven demand fan operates only when required, saving fuel and reducing sound levels
  • A one-piece sealed and pressurized cab, electro-hydraulic controls, premium seat choices, lift arms, available electric work-tool coupler, and available intelligent leveling features
  • Steel track option is ideal for customers requiring improved traction due to challenging underfoot conditions with high concentrations of protruding objects and/or using heavy work tools, working on slopes and/or working near transitions.
