This redesign aims to enhance the features that made the previous series popular through improved engine performance, lift and tilt capabilities, stability, operator comfort and technology integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trevor Chase, Caterpillar&#8217;s product application specialist, said the company is committed to maintaining the essence of the D3 series while incorporating customer feedback in order to push the boundaries of loader performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new models serve as replacements for the <strong>259D3, 279D3, and 289D3<\/strong> machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powered by Cat C2.8T and Cat C2.8TA engines, the 255 and 265 loaders offer 55.4 kW) across a broader RPM range and boast torque increases for enhanced working performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A redesigned engine compartment mounts the engine and cooling package lower into the frame, improving stability and handling under heavy load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caterpillar says the 255 loader has class-leading lift height, 36% more tilt breakout, 26% higher lift breakout force, and a 24% increase in rated operating capacity compared to its predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the 265 has a maximum lift height of 3.35 meters, along with 19% higher tilt breakout force and 22% higher lift breakout force compared to the 289D3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard hydraulic system pressure is increased to 3,500 psi (24130 kPa), and a closed-center auxiliary hydraulic system allows operation of all Cat Smart Attachments, including the Dozer Blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new loaders feature a larger cab design with increased overall volume and additional foot space, providing improved operator comfort. Various seat options, including ventilated and heated high-comfort seats, are available. The HVAC system offers auto temperature control and efficient vent positioning for quick cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equipped with either a 5-inch standard LCD monitor or an 8-inch advanced touchscreen, the loaders provide Bluetooth connectivity and support for rear view camera feed, job clock and maintenance reminders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New joysticks facilitate integrated control of the touchscreen monitor, ensuring ease of operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>PS Plant Specs<\/em> will upload the full specifications for the new machines as soon as they are available.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/plantspecs-wp.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/24171049\/Cat-255-Compact-Track-Loader.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantspecs-wp.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/24171049\/Cat-255-Compact-Track-Loader.jpg 600w, https:\/\/plantspecs-wp.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/24171049\/Cat-255-Compact-Track-Loader-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>The CAT 255 compact crawler loader \u2013 new for 2024<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caterpillar has introduced the Cat 255 and 265 Compact Track Loaders<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":701,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,11],"tags":[13,29,28,7],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plantspecs.online\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plantspecs.online\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plantspecs.online\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plantspecs.online\/api\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plantspecs.online\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=702"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/plantspecs.online\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":704,"href":"https:\/\/plantspecs.online\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702\/revisions\/704"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plantspecs.online\/api\/wp\/v2\/media\/701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plantspecs.online\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plantspecs.online\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plantspecs.online\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
