PERFORMANCE With its many work tool options, the compact rigid loader is ideal for construction, site planning, agriculture and other applications. It offers the reliability, durability and excellent productivity characteristics of Cat. The B3 Series features the following additional features to help you out in the field: Optional suspension seat for increased driver comfort. Easy-to-read dashboards. Optional air conditioner and heater for extra comfort in extreme conditions. Standard floor mat with footrest provides a non-slip surface that can be easily removed for cleaning.

HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT Maximum power and reliability are the main advantages of the hydraulic system of the machine. In addition to the power required to drive the wheels, this circuit also feeds the lift and tilt functions, the auxiliary circuit, which drives the work tools, and the engine cooling fan. The hydraulic pumps are driven directly by the engine for maximum performance and reliability, without any intermediate belt. The hydraulic system also features: A standard auxiliary hydraulic system that supplies work tools connected by hydraulic quick couplers securely anchored to the loader arm. Cat ToughGuard ™ hoses improve reliability and longevity.

COOLING SYSTEM A side-by-side cooling system and a hydraulically controlled cooling fan optimize the cooling capacity. The high-performance hydraulic oil cooler allows the machine to work longer and more efficiently in higher ambient temperatures, even with continuous use of a work tool. The high efficiency hydraulic cooling fan provides cooling even when the machine is charging. The optional variable speed fan increases fuel efficiency, increases machine efficiency and reduces noise levels while improving cold weather performance.
