CATERPILLAR Work Tools B.V. has introduced the new Fusion wheel loader quick coupler for wheel loaders used in the mining industry.
The Cat Fusion Wheel Loader Coupler System pulls the coupler and work tool closer to the wheel loader for machine performance comparable to pin-on-with all the versatility and flexibility of a coupler.
Caterpillar says that the patented design moves the centre of gravity closer to the machine, yet the coupler enables the loader to conveniently pick up and use a wide range of work tools.
Dave Becktel, Commercial Manager, Caterpillar Work Tools B.V. says that the fusion is designed for Caterpillar wheel loader models ranging from the 938H to the 972H, including the IT38 and IT62. The unique, single interface allows many machines to share the same work tools-a cost reducing system for multi-loader fleets.
Caterpillar says that Fusion also gives the operator excellent sight lines to the work tool, load and target location. The new, open coupler frame design makes it easier than ever before to engage and disengage attachments.
