2025 Caterpillar Large Wheel Loaders 992

Setting the Standard. Then Raising the Bar.

The Cat® 992 Large Wheel Loader has set the standard in its size class for more than 50 years, delivering industry-leading productivity, unparalleled reliability and long life. Today’s 992 raises the bar. Compared to the 992K, the new 992 is up to 48% more efficient and 32% more productive, thanks to higher payload for improved pass match, increases in rimpull and breakout force, and an optimized linkage design. Extended component replacement intervals plus increased filter and turbo life help reduce maintenance costs. These improvements — and many more — combine to provide significant savings over the life of the machine for the lowest owning and operating costs in the industry. With both standard and high-lift configurations, the 992 offers the ideal pass match for fleets of Cat 775, 777 and 785 trucks.

BenefitsUp to 32% More Productive

Thanks to higher rated payload, 9.5% more rimpull and 20% more breakout force

Up to 48% More Efficient

Increased productivity with zero increase in fuel burn

10% Reduction in Maintenance Costs

With 20% increase in component life, tire slip prevention and automatic retarding controls

Features may include:

Safety
  • Improved access and egress, with integrated powered access system, adjustable hanging steps, 45-degree-angle wide stairs, emergency egress ladder, and full handrails on each side.
  • Wide walkways with non-skid surfaces and integrated lockout/tagout points designed into the service areas.
Operator Comfort
  • 50% increase in leg room and increased width by the operator’s knees compared to previous model.
  • Reduced vibration, low sound levels and automatic temperature controls.
  • Electro-hydraulic speed-sensing steering with force feedback for shift-long comfort.
Productivity
  • Increased rated payload, which allows for a a 4-pass match to a 90.7-tonne (100-ton) truck in all applications.
  • Better digging thanks to 20% more breakout force compared to previous models, with no increase in cycle time; 9.5% boost in rimpull; and increased traction.
  • Superior loading with Cat Performance Series Buckets, which deliver easier, faster loading; increased fill factors and material retention; larger bucket volume; and better bucket and machine stability due to the payload being lower and closer to the machine.
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.
  • Relocated 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.
  • Standard VIMS™ monitoring system that delivers critical health and payload information, keeping performance at optimum levels and allowing advanced troubleshooting and planning to lower maintenance costs.
Durability
  • New C32B engine improved for increased durability.
