Now more than ever, anybody procuring heavy equipment for a governmental agency needs a highly-productive machine that delivers value. You need a versatile machine that can work a stockpile, load and unload trucks or remove snow. You need excellent fuel economy at a lower price point. You need the Cat^® 950 GC Wheel Loader. Here are 10 reasons why the 950 GC is a great choice for governmental fleets:

1. Economy and reliability. With its simple design and proven components, the 950 GC meets your expectations for high reliability and long life while accommodating a tight budget.
2. Best-in-class dump height City and county crews will appreciate the wheel loader’s extra height for all the truck loading and unloading they can do quicker.
3. High-speed loading: Cat Performance Series Buckets come standard on the 950 GC. Their unique shape fills quickly and retains more material than conventional buckets. That means faster loading in fewer passes, even with a less-experienced operator at the controls.
4. One machine, many jobs. The 950 GC becomes even more versatile with an investment in Cat attachments and an optional Fusion™ Quick Coupler system. The addition of forks, a broom or snow removal tools can keep your loader busy for more hours every year, making it even more valuable.
5. Focus on fuel. We know fuel is a daunting line item in equipment budgets. We have focused on fuel-saving innovations like a fuel-efficient engine, load-sensing hydraulics and engine idle technologies that automatically control rpm to conserve fuel.
6. Productive work environment. Operators work comfortably and productively in the 950 GC’s quiet, roomy cab. They enjoy features such as an ergonomic seat, low-effort controls and standard rearview camera.
7. Parts commonality: The Cat C7.1 ACERT™ engine powers the 950 GC. It’s the same engine model used in many other Cat machines. The common engine platform makes parts inventory management easier.
8. Gull-wing service doors and other quick-service features. The GC design incorporates easy-open doors and grouped, ground-level service points for easily-accessible and streamlined maintenance.
9. Hard data for tighter cost control. Get access to facts about utilization, hours, location, fuel burn and more. Cat Link technologies capture that critical machine data and relay it to your office or mobile device, allowing you to better manage workload and operating costs.
10. Lowest total cost. Your bottom line is our bottom line. Your Cat dealer has the people, tools and resources to keep your 950 GC running reliably and economically over its life cycle. You’ll save on acquisition costs and over a lifetime of lower owning and operating costs.
