The Cat® 995 Wheel Loader: A High-Efficiency Leader

By Caterpillar | May 8, 2024

The Cat® 995 Wheel Loader moves more material than its predecessor, the 994K, for significantly less cost. Not only does it deliver a larger payload — it’s also infused with efficiency enhancements that help sites get more done in less time, with less fuel.

When loading a 793 in testing, the 995 demonstrated 21% higher efficiency and 24% more production than the 994K in equal operating mode thanks to its higher rated payload and a 6% increase in hydraulic force. These improvements were achieved without the use of the new technology features below, which allow additional efficiency gains.
 

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

995 systems work hard to save fuel while boosting productivity through advanced technologies.

The on-demand throttle feature delivers up to 5% improved efficiency and up to an 8% reduction in fuel per hour when compared to Horsepower Plus Mode. Utilizing the on-demand throttle, operators maintain normal operation with the left pedal and implements while the 995 manages the engine speed.

Enhanced Economy Mode is ideal for those operations that are highly concerned with efficiency and desire the lowest possible hourly fuel consumption. Enhanced Eco Mode delivers up to 8% greater efficiency and up to a 13% reduction in fuel per hour versus Horsepower Plus Mode.

 

TIRE SLIP PREVENTION & TIRE SET

The 995’s Tire Slip Prevention feature reduces rimpull when there is less downforce on the tire and increases rimpull when there is more downforce on the tire — supplying maximum rimpull when it’s needed. Tire Set detects pile contact and automatically lifts against the pile to set the tires and increase available traction, discouraging premature racking and allowing for an increase in usable rimpull.

These features improve tire life, productivity and efficiency by automating the most difficult parts of the dig cycle in all digging conditions — in both tough digging and re-handled material.

 

LIFT STALL PREVENTION

Lift Stall Prevention automatically applies the impeller clutch when necessary to prevent hydraulic stall when lifting up through the face. This improves productivity and efficiency by keeping the lift motion continuous, without excessive use of the impeller clutch.  Together with tire slip prevention, this feature provides full automation of the impeller clutch while digging, allowing the operator to fill the bucket without the use of the left pedal (impeller clutch). 

 

POSITIVE FLOW CONTROL

The 995’s Positive Flow Control Hydraulic System boosts efficiency with concurrent pump and valve control. By optimizing pump control, hydraulic oil flow is proportionate to implement lever movement. Fast, productive cycles are enabled by four electronically controlled, fully variable piston pumps. The system also increases bucket feel and control and delivers consistent performance and efficiency with lower system heat.

 

OPERATOR PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENTS

The 995’s next generation cab creates a technology-enabled, high-efficiency operator experience. The cab features large, easy-to-read, color displays that provide access to the Electronic Operation & Maintenance Manual. Operator coaching and assistance features take efficiency and productivity to the next level.

Operator coaching helps empower operators to exceed productivity and efficiency targets by measuring and providing feedback to reinforce proper operating techniques. New Autodig Components boost efficiency and reduce tire wear by automating critical parts of the digging cycle. 


Payload Overload Prevention is an optional feature that gives operators the confidence to use a large enough bucket to achieve the target pass match—and therefore productivity—across a density range, without introducing the risk of overload. The overload value can be adjusted based on target payload to any value using the service password. This feature can be configured to either stop or slow the lift arms when the overload value is exceeded.
