Redesigned operator station delivers a larger operating environment. Combined with additional seat travel, the 285 provides more space for operators of any size. The optional one-piece, sealed, and pressurized cab offers a clean and quiet workspace with excellent air distribution through optimally placed vents throughout the cab.
Available ventilated and heated high-back air ride seat and seat mounted adjustable joystick controls deliver industry-leading operator comfort.
The high-performance power train provides maximum performance and production capability along with standard two speed travel. The optional Speed Sensitive Ride Control system improves material retention and operator comfort when working on rough terrain.
Three levels of auxiliary hydraulic performance are available - Standard Flow, High Flow, and High Flow XPS. Standard flow for attachments that require a base level of auxiliary flow and horsepower, High Flow boosts the auxiliary flow for applications that demand additional hydraulic flow for increased attachment performance, and the High Flow XPS hydraulic system provides maximum auxiliary hydraulic performance by delivering additional flow and additional pressure for the most demanding attachments and applications
The electronically controlled Cat C3.6TA (turbocharged, aftercooled) engine delivers maximum horsepower across a wide RPM range. It provides high torque for increased working performance, no matter the application.
The standard E-bar undercarriage provides a hybrid undercarriage solution delivering the benefits of a rigid style undercarriage design when lifting heavy loads or when using heavy attachments while also providing the benefits of an oscillating undercarriage design when encountering rough terrain or obstacles.
The Advanced Touchscreen Monitor offers cutting-edge functionality and control that includes an integrated radio, Bluetooth® connectivity, and multi-camera (side-view) option, and supports 32 different language choices.
Maximize machine capability and control with the Advanced Joysticks. The Advanced Joysticks provide unmatched control of machine functions and adjustments within the display without having to remove your hands from the controls. This includes the on-joystick navigation of the Advanced Touchscreen Monitor, radio volume up/down/mute, creep activation, creep on/off, creep speed increment/decrement, one-button Smart Attachment control activation, and additional auxiliary control buttons that deliver single-button control of complex attachment functions.
Ground-level access to all daily service and routine maintenance points helps reduce machine downtime for greater productivity.
Make your Cat Compact Track Loader the most versatile machine on the job site with the wide range of Cat attachments.
