Wheel Loader
Aggregate Handler
2017

The 962L Wheel Loader applies proven technologies systematically and strategically to meet your high expectations for reliability,
productivity, fuel efficiency, and long service life. Aggregate Handler configurations are specialized offerings for specific loose
aggregate rehandling applications, such as truck loading, hopper charging, stockpiling, and load and carry. Since rehandling loose
aggregate is less stressful on the machine, payloads can be increased above other applications by installing larger buckets and
counterweight.*

962L Aggregate Handler Bucket Fill Factors and Selection Chart

The bucket size must be chosen based on the density of the material and on the expected fill factor. The Cat Performance Series Buckets with longer floor,
larger bucket opening, increased repository angle, rounded side boards and integrated spill guard, demonstrate fill factors significantly higher than previous
generation or non Cat buckets. The actual volume handled by the machine is thus often larger than the rated capacity.
Loose Material Material Density Fill Factor (%)*
Earth/Clay 1500-1700 kg/m3 115
Sand and Gravel 1500-1700 kg/m3 115
Aggregate: 25-76 mm 1600-1700 kg/m3 110
*As a % of ISO rated capacity.
Note: Fill Factors achieved will also depend on whether the product is washed or not washed.
