Particulars Cat 966H Volvo L150H
Overview Summary

The Cat 966H and Volvo L150H Wheel Loaders both boast robust designs and are engineered for heavy-duty construction and mining operations in India. The Cat 966H offers higher power at lower RPMs and excellent hydraulic performance, whereas the Volvo L150H outshines with its higher engine output, superior torque, and larger bucket capacity range.

Cat 966H

Pros:
  • Features a robust design suitable for heavy-duty applications
  • Slightly higher max power at a lower rpm (281 HP @ 1800 rpm)
  • Higher torque at lower rpm (1299 Nm @ 1400 rpm)
  • Features a lock-up clutch on the torque converter for improved fuel efficiency
  • Higher max pump flow rate (320 L/min) for the hydraulic system
  • Equipped with standard AC cabin
Cons:
  • Less tipping load full turn compared to the Volvo L150H (14028 kg vs. 16000 kg)
  • Lower ground clearance (434 mm vs. 480 mm)
  • Bucket capacity range is smaller (3.40-4.60 m³ vs. 3.4-14 m³)

Volvo L150H

Pros:
  • Higher engine horsepower (300 HP)
  • Significantly higher torque (1999 Nm @ 1000 rpm)
  • Larger piston displacement and engine oil capacity
  • Inclusion of a 100% differential lock on the front axle and options for limited‑slip rear axle
  • Greater tipping load capacity both straight and full turn
  • Higher bucket capacity range (3.4 - 14 m³)
Cons:
  • Lower max pump flow rate of the hydraulic system
  • AC cabin is optional rather than standard
  • Slightly less agile with a smaller steering angle (±37° vs. ±40°)

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

In choosing between the Cat 966H and Volvo L150H, consider the specific needs of your operations. The Cat 966H could be more beneficial in scenarios where hydraulic performance and fuel efficiency from lock-up torque conversion are critical. On the other hand, the Volvo L150H would be ideal for tasks requiring higher torque, increased tipping load capability, and a wider range of bucket capacity for varied applications. Evaluate the importance of an AC cabin and the benefits of a higher hydraulic pump flow rate specific to your workload requirements before making a decision.
