New Cat® 255 And 265 Compact Track Loaders are delivering industry-leading lift and tilt breakout forces, and with significantly increased torque.
The all-new, next-generation Cat® 255 and 265 Compact Track Loaders elevate Caterpillar’s loader reputation through improved engine performance, lift and tilt performance, stability, operator comfort and technology.
A new performance standard
The new 255 and 265 loaders are powered by Cat C2.8T and Cat C2.8TA engines respectively, which offer 74.3hp (55.4kW). The new engines maintain horsepower across a wider RPM range and boast significant torque increases for improved working performance, and a redesigned engine compartment mounts the engine and cooling package lower into the frame for improved stability.
Hydraulics
Standard hydraulic-system pressure is increased to 3500psi (24130kPa).
New for these next generation machines, the closed-centre auxiliary hydraulic system allows the 255 and 265 to operate all Cat Smart Attachments, including the Cat Smart Dozer Blade, with the standard auxiliary hydraulics provided, and the 255 loader offers a new 12.6” (320mm) bar-tread narrow-track option, ideal for work in confined areas.
Improved operator’s office
Both the Cat 255 and 265 Compact Track Loaders feature a larger cab design with more overall volume and additional foot space. A range of new mechanical and air-ride suspension seat options are available for the 255 and 265 loaders, including a high-comfort seat that is both ventilated and heated.
Next generation loaders are equipped with either a five-inch (127mm) standard LCD monitor or an eight-inch (203mm) advanced touchscreen monitor, depending on the technology package selected. The standard monitor features Bluetooth connectivity and supports functionality for rear-view camera feed, creep, job clock, and maintenance reminders.
The new advanced joysticks provide integrated control of the advanced touchscreen monitor so all machine function control and adjustments can be made without the operator removing their hands from the controls.
Advanced technologies
The new compact track loaders deliver the next level of integrating machines with technology. Both the standard and advanced monitors offer the ability to run Cat Smart Attachments, such as the dozer and grader blades and backhoe. The machine automatically recognizes the type of attachment and the required joystick pattern for controlling it.
The available Cat Product Link Elite system tracks machine hours, location, asset utilisation, provides fault code details and delivers advanced monitoring and machine health, and is remotely accessible via VisionLink®. In addition, Product Link Elite provides remote flash and troubleshooting capabilities and quickly enables the remote activation of the SEA High Flow feature.
