Caterpillar's 904B, with a standard-bucket capacity of 0.78 cubic yard, stands just 94 inches tall and 67 inches wide, allowing it, says Cat, to pass through 8-foot doors, as well as into trailers and containers. The machine features a universal (skid-steer-type) coupler and an auxiliary hydraulic system that provides flows to 22 gpm, which, says Cat, allows the 904B to operate many standard-flow skid-steer-loader work tools.

Number of models: 1

New models: 904B

Product-line features: Caterpillar's compact-wheel-loader line presently includes four models, ranging from the 52-net-hp 904B to the 95-net-hp IT14G, which is a compact tool carrier.
