Buyer's Premium:

This Caterpillar 982 wheel loader is a heavy-duty industrial machine designed for material handling and earthmoving. The unit features the manufacturer name CAT and the model number 982 prominently displayed on the side panels. It is equipped with a large general-purpose front loader bucket. While specific cubic yardage is not marked, the standard bucket capacity for a Caterpillar 982 typically ranges between 8.0 and 10.0 cubic yards depending on the configuration. The machine is fitted with four large Michelin pneumatic tires featuring a deep lug tread pattern. The enclosed operator cab is protected by a front-facing metal safety screen over the glass. Additional external equipment includes a side-mounted red fire extinguisher, integrated rear counterweights, a vertical exhaust stack, and multiple access ladders with safety handrails. The hour meter was not visible for inspection in the provided exterior views.


Condition report:

The loader is in good used condition. The signature yellow paint remains largely intact across the chassis and bucket, although there is visible surface wear and minor paint loss on the rear counterweight corners and around the bucket hinge points consistent with normal operation. The cab glass and protective screen appear to be in good repair without visible cracks. The Michelin tires exhibit moderate tread wear but appear functional with no major sidewall damage or flat spots visible in the images. No significant hydraulic or engine fluid leaks were observed during the visual inspection.
