Caterpillar 246C Skid Steer Loader

The operator station of the Caterpillar 246C Steer Loader offers superior comfort to keep you productive throughout the work day. With an industry first, sealed and pressurized cab, increased rated operating capacity, higher horsepower and superior performance all that will help you get more done in your working day and increase your bottom line.

The variety of Caterpillar Work Tools extend the versatility of  all Caterpillar Skid Steer Loaders. They are designed and built for optimum performance and durability, Caterpillar work tools deliver high productivity, long service life and excellent value.

The new sealed and pressurized cab keeps dust out and clean air in for greater operator comfort. Reduced sound levels within the cab also help reduce fatigue. Comfort and ease of operation have been designed into every aspect of the operator station.

The wide, spacious interior and uncluttered floor of the Caterpillar 246C skid steer provide a comfortable work environment with excellent head, shoulder and leg room to keep productivity high and fatigue low.

The Caterpillar 246C skid steer has an ergonomic, seat with mounted joystick controls that enable a wide range of comfortable operating positions for operators of any size. The seat and controls are independently adjustable to meet the specific needs of the operator, Complete with an air ride seat provides an unparalleled level of comfort in a skid steer loader.

The optional advanced machine Information and control system of this skid steer loader provides easy to read and understand information regarding hydraulic oil and engine coolant temperature, engine speed, It also includes a service mode for checking service codes and status of components.

For your maximum comfort additional features have been added that include easy to read instrument panels, with optional air conditioner and heater that provides greater comfort in extreme conditions, and optional selectable pattern control which allows the operator to select the control pattern they are most familiar with for greater productivity.     

The high performance power train of the Caterpillar 246C skid steer loader provides high engine horsepower and torque. The C-Series features the Cat C3.4 DIT engine a rugged, reliable engine that meets worldwide emissions requirements.       

Hand and foot throttles allow the operator to match engine speed to the task. The hand throttle is ideal for jobs requiring constant engine speed such as cold planing, trenching or snow blowing. The foot throttle lets the operator vary engine speed and minimize fuel consumption for other tasks such as load and carry, truck loading, grading and dozing.

The Electronic Torque Management system maximizes power to the ground and prevents the engine from stalling in tough digging and dozing applications for maximum productivity. The system allows part throttle operation which provides smoother machine operation and reduces fuel consumption      

Maximum power and reliability are built into the Caterpillar 246C skid steer loader hydraulic system. In addition to providing power to the wheels, this system also provides the loader lift and tilt functions, powers the auxiliary circuit to drive work tools and drives the engine cooling fan.

The C-Series hydraulic system features:

Increased lift and tilt breakout forces allowing you to move more material and get more done.
Continuous demand fan for improved fuel efficiency, increased horsepower, reduced sound levels and improved cold weather performance.
       
High flow XPS hydraulic system offers both increased flow and increased pressure to maximize work tool performance.

The Selectable Implement Control option with three levels of control gives the operator the ability to adjust the responsiveness of the lift and tilt functions for more precise implement control.

The optional Speed Sensitive Ride Control system delivers a smoother ride on uneven terrain for superior comfort. It allows for both higher speed operation and better material retention for increased productivity.
