Caterpillar offers 16 new D3 Series skid-steer loader (SSL) and compact track loader (CTL) models that advance the D and D2 Series quality, comfort and performance and deliver improvements in operator experience and track loader stability. They also support a line of new Smart Attachments.

Entering and exiting loaders with an enclosed cab is now easier thanks to a wider opening cab door. The distance between joystick pods has also increased by 3 in., offering extra space for the operator inside the cab.

The CTLs deliver improved operating stability while handling heavy loads, grading or truck loading. Changes to the undercarriage frame and torsion axles reduce machine pitching and rocking, while still offering enhanced ride comfort.
