C-Series skid steers

Caterpillar C-Series skid-steer loaders -- 246C, 256C, 262C, 272C -- feature electro-hydraulic joystick control of the hydrostatic drive system and electronic torque management. Operator comfort features include sealed and pressurized cab and an optional air suspension seat. With a rated operating capacity of 3,250 pounds, the 272C is the largest capacity skid steer loader Caterpillar has produced. The vertical lift 272C is joined by the smaller 262C, which has an operating capacity of 2,700 pounds and also features vertical lift for enhanced truck loading capabilities. The 246C and 256C are radial lift machines with rated operating capacities of 2,150 pounds and 2,350 pounds, respectively.

The C-Series skid-steer loaders deliver greater lift and tilt forces, increased drawbar pull and more power via Cat 3044C DIT 3.3-liter turbocharged engines.
