operator comfort

• Doors on both sides of the machine

provide easy entry and exit

• Excellent visibility – front and rear –

is provided by distortion-free flat

glass, wet-arm wipers, roof channels

that drain water off the ROPS posts

instead of the windows and a roof

overhang that keeps glare out of the

operator’s eyes

• Centrally located, easy to access

controls and switches with clear,

graphical symbols for more intuitive

operation

durable seating for operators of all

shapes and sizes

Sound. The operator sound level for the

980H has been reduced by 4 dB(A) –

to 76 dB(A) – a 50 percent improvement

over the 980G Series II. The improvement

in sound level was made possible by the

addition of insulation to the doors and

front panels, as well as the rear and

floor of the cab. Cab pressurization has

been improved which also contributes

to the lower sound level. Also, an optional

low sound attachment reduces spectator

sound levels to 107 dB(A) and operator

sound pressure to 72 dB(A).

Vibration. Caterpillar understands that

midsize wheel loaders work in some of

the harshest environments. By controlling

normal machine vibrations caused by

these harsh conditions, operator efficiency

and productivity are improved. From the

ground up, the Cat 980H is designed

with many features, both standard and

optional, that reduce vibration.

• The oscillating rear axle follows

the contour of the ground while

allowing the cab to stay steady.

• The cab is attached to the frame with

rubber mounts designed to reduce

shock loads from the ground.

• The articulation joint is equipped

with a hydraulic valve that modulates

the force of impact when the machine

reaches the end of its turning radius.

• Dump stop snubbing is available

to slow the bucket as it reaches the

limits of travel.

• Ride Control is an option designed

to reduce jolting and bouncing

during load and carry operations.

An accumulator acts as a shock

absorber to reduce machine pitching

and provide a smoother ride over

rough terrain.

• Electronic sensors and hydraulics

precisely match implement lever

position to the speed and position

of the lift arms and bucket cylinder.

This precision provides smooth valve

actuation and cylinder travel while

virtually eliminating abruptness of

movement.

• Automatic lift and lower kickouts

and bucket position can be set

by the operator from the cab.

These electronically controlled

cushioned stops eliminate the

jerking and bouncing associated

with abrupt stops.

Entry and Exit. An integrated ladder with

self-cleaning steps keeps debris build-up

to a minimum. The ladder is at a 5-degree

incline for easy entry and exit.

Platforms are wide allowing safe

movement to the front or rear of the

machine. The main cab door opens a

full 180 degrees and latches in place

to allow safe navigation to the rear

of the machine.

Visibility. The 980H provides excellent

visibility to both the front and rear of

the machine. Distortion-free flat glass

stretches to the floor of the cab for

excellent visibility to the bucket.

Wet-arm wipers on both front and back

keep the windows clean in any condition.

The cab roof has channels that direct

rain off the corners of the cab keeping

windows clear. An overhang on all

sides protects the operator from glare.

An optional windshield cleaning package

provides additional steps and handrails

to provide easy access for cleaning

the windows.

An optional rear vision camera is

available to more closely monitor

movement behind the wheel loader.

Comfort and convenience increase efficiency.
