Particulars Cat 988K Volvo L350H
Overview Summary

The Cat 988K and Volvo L350H are both powerful wheel loaders designed for heavy-duty material handling. The Cat 988K features a more powerful engine and a larger payload capacity, while the Volvo L350H showcases higher tipping loads and a greater breakout force.

Cat 988K Wheel Loader

Pros:
  • Higher engine power of 580 HP for demanding tasks
  • Higher torque of 2852 Nm for strong pulling power
  • Larger payload capacity of 11300 kg enables heavier lifting
  • Larger fuel tank of 712 L for extended operation times
  • Advanced Cat Planetary Power Shift Transmission known for durability
  • Superior maximum dump angle of 51° for better dumping capabilities
  • Greater hydraulic system pressure of 328 bar for powerful lift and tilt operations
Cons:
  • Slightly larger operating weight may impact fuel efficiency
  • Lacks certain specifications like turning radii and roll back angles

Volvo L350H Wheel Loader

Pros:
  • Automatically applied parking brake for increased safety
  • Load-Sensing Hydrostatic Articulated Steering for precise control
  • Larger bucket capacity range available up to 12.7 m³
  • Highest tipping load for both straight (39290 kg) and full turn (34700 kg)
  • Outstanding breakout force of 450 kN for tough digging conditions
  • Extended maintenance intervals for transmission oil (134 L capacity)
Cons:
  • Lower engine power of 532 HP compared to the Cat 988K
  • Smaller fuel tank capacity of 540 L potentially reduces run time
  • Slightly lower max hinge pin height could affect certain loading operations

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

The choice between the Cat 988K and the Volvo L350H should be based on specific operational needs. If the priority is engine power and payload capabilities for intensive tasks, the Cat 988K may be more suitable. Alternatively, for activities that demand precision, high tipping loads, and breakout force, the Volvo L350H could be the better option. Evaluate the specifics of your work environment and tasks to determine the best fit for your requirements.
