995
Built to the same size as the 994K but offering a higher rated payload, the new Cat® 995 Wheel Loader enables a one-pass reduction when loading Cat 785, 789 and 793 Mining Trucks. This equates to up to a 33% increase in production and efficiency when loading the 785, up to a 25% increase with the 789 and up to a 20% increase with the 793. It gives you more payload and more performance while using less fuel. So you can get more done in less time while reducing fuel usage. Introduced in 1990, the 994 was the top choice in its size class for over 25 years. The 995 builds on the success of the 994K model with the goal of achieving even higher efficiency and production. Compared to the 994K, the new 995 is up to 21% more efficient and up to 23% more productive, thanks to a higher rated payload and an increase in hydraulic force. In Enhanced Eco Mode, the 995 demonstrated a 31% increase in efficiency and a 13% reduction in hourly fuel consumption versus the 994K in throttle lock mode, which translates to 23% less CO2 per unit of material moved. It also offers an improved operator environment, with greater visibility and 50% more leg room, plus features that improve operator confidence while reducing fatigue.

PRODUCTIVITY
- Increased rated payload and 6% increase in hydraulic force compared to 994K.
- Impeller Clutch Torque Converter (ICTC) and Rimpull Control System (RCS), which reduce the potential for wheel slippage without reducing hydraulic efficiency.
- Superior loading with Cat Performance Series Buckets, which are engineered to dig into piles quickly and load efficiently — with fill factors up to 115%.
- 3516E engine, which delivers optimum performance through the use of a 16-cylinder, four-stroke design, plus turbochargers and aftercoolers that deliver on-demand performance.
- Excellent stability thanks to optimized weight distribution, helping operators be more confident and productive.
EFFICIENCY-BOOSTING FEATURES
- Tire Slip Prevention, which reduces rimpull when there is less downforce on the tire and increases rimpull when there is more downforce on the tire — providing maximum rimpull when you can use it.
- Tire Set, which automatically applies a lift command at the optimal time to increase traction on the tire, allowing for an increase in usable rimpull.
- Lift Stall Prevention, which automatically applies the impeller clutch when necessary to prevent hydraulic stall when lifting up through the face — keeping the lift motion continuous, without excessive use of the impeller clutch.
- Positive Flow Control Hydraulic System, which boosts efficiency with concurrent pump and valve control and increases bucket feel and control to deliver consistent performance.
- On-demand throttle feature that allows operators to maintain normal operation with the left pedal and implements while the 995 manages the engine speed.
SERVICEABILITY
- Reduced time spent on regular maintenance procedures thanks to features such as ground-level or platform access to filters; grouped service points; swing-out doors on both sides of the engine compartment; improved access for engine and pump drive service as well as to cooling package; and automatic lubrication system that greases the linkage, hitch, steering and axle trunnion bearings.
- Service station that provides easy access to functions such as coolant and oil as well as level indicators; Cat battery charging connector; and indicator lights for full fuel tanks.
- Redesigned pump bay, which offers improved access to transmission components, discharge ports located on the side of pumps, and lines routed directly to screen.
- Reduced number of steering hoses and tubes; removal of brackets and neutralizers, eliminating the need for neutralizer adjustment; and addition of pilot accumulator, EH valve and pilot filter.
- Improvements in filters and diagnostics across the machine, with groundline service that includes a steering pilot filter, transmission filters and steering pump discharge screen; pump bay that includes a brake pump filter, implement pilot filter and implement discharge screens; and diagnostic ports that are accessible from the front walk deck and pump bay.
BUCKETS AND GET
- Approved for higher payloads in low to moderate digging resistance applications; increased payload intended for rehandled material in the ROM pad area or stockpile material, such as coal.
- Variety of bucket options, including rock buckets for loading limestone or other unprocessed rock; heavy-duty rock buckets for applications like face loading tightly compacted pit materials or handling materials of moderate abrasion and high impact; coal buckets for light density non-abrasive materials; and iron ore buckets for extremely aggressive applications.
- Performance Series Buckets feature extended floor, dual radius and angled side bars for fast loading; larger bottom box section for increased strength, high fill factors and good material retention; and taller side plate with a level top surface improves operator visibility to the bucket from the cab.
- Cat Ground Engaging Tools (GET) that feature CapSure™ Retention Technology, which simplifies component replacement with hammerless retention for fast, easy and safe installation.
DURABILITY
- Highly durable structures, with full box-section rear frame that resists torsional shock and twisting forces to maximize life of mounted components.
- Frames that utilize castings in key areas to maximize frame durability and optimize efficiency.
- Rear axle mounting to frame that is optimized to better disperse loads for increased structural integrity.
- Loads efficiently transmitted by the field-proven solid steel lift arms, with enhanced strength in key pin areas through the use of one-piece castings.
- Frame, powertrain, engine and components that all built to be rebuilt — using new, remanufactured or rebuilt parts and components — to deliver multiple lives of like-new performance at a fraction-of-new price.
TECHNOLOGY
- Cat MineStar™ Terrain for loading, which provides real-time feedback on payloads and design plan progress to increases productivity and accuracy, reduce rework, enhance ore control and improve shift-to-shift operator performance.
