High performance power train provides maximum performance and production capability through the Electronic Torque Management system, optional two speed travel and an electronic hand/foot throttle with decel pedal capability.
Redesigned operator station delivers a larger operating environment. Combined with additional seat travel, the 270 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 superior operator comfort.
High Flow XPS auxiliary hydraulic system, delivering high flow and high pressure, is available for applications that demand maximum hydraulic work tool performance.
Electronically controlled Cat C3.6TA (turbocharged, aftercooled) engine delivers maximum horsepower across a wide RPM range and provides high torque for increased working performance, no matter the application. The engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.
Speed sensitive ride control option improves operation on rough terrain, enabling better load retention, increased productivity, and greater operator comfort.
The 20.3 cm (8-inch) 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.
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 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.
The broad range of performance matched Cat Attachments makes the Cat Skid Steer Loader the most versatile machine on the job site.
Advertised power is tested per the specified standard in effect at the time of manufacture. Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with fan at minimum speed, air intake system, exhaust system, and alternator.
