902 Compact Wheel LoaderDesigned, built and backed by Caterpillar to deliver exceptional performance and versatility, ease of operation, serviceability and customer support.

Performance and VersatilityThe robust, integrated design of theVersaLink loader linkage andQuickLock hydraulic coupler provideoutstanding forward viewing to thework tool and work area. Virtual realitytechnology was used to test theoperator’s line of sight to the work tooland surrounding area. Large, durableCaterpillar cylinders provide excellentbreakout and lift force. Superb parallellift capability give the 902 precisecontrol for handling pallets. Smoothoperating Caterpillar hystat power trainallows the machine to move quickly forgreater productivity. pg. 4, 5

Ease of OperationOperator comfort and easy operation aredesigned into every aspect of the cab.The operator can easily see the workbeing done. Combined with theVersaLink loader linkage and contouredhood, the 902 has unmatched viewing tothe ground. Ergonomically designedjoystick and low effort pilot hydraulicsreduce fatigue and increase comfort.Three cab versions are available:Standard, Comfort and Deluxe. pg. 4

ServiceabilityThe 902 is designed for quick and easyserviceability. Tilt-up engine enclosureand side service doors give exceptionalaccess to major components. Hingedhydraulic oil cooler provides easyaccess for cleaning. Vertically mounted,Caterpillar spin-on filters are easy toreach for fast maintenance. The durableCat 3024 diesel engine has a 250-houroil service interval, reducingmaintenance time and costs. S•O•S oilanalysis ports for engine oil andhydraulic fluid, as well as ten hydraulictest ports are standard. Eco-drain valvesare also available. pg. 5

Built for tough workThe 902 Compact Wheel Loader is built to thesame high standards as larger Caterpillar® wheelloaders. This machine delivers Cat reliability,durability and efficient operation, even in thetoughest working conditions.

Excellent viewing in all directions ismade possible with large floor lengthwindows, a compact dash, contouredhood and the narrow VersaLink loaderlinkage.

Low effort pilot hydraulics and anergonomically designed joystick withadjustable wrist rest minimize fatigueand maximize comfort for the operator.A molded-in Forward/Neutral/Reverseswitch is intuitive to use.

Spacious cab has plenty of storage areaand is equipped with many conveniencefeatures:■ Fully adjustable suspension seat■ Suspended pedals and flat floor■ Ground level door releases■ Three-speed fan with eleven vents■ Front and rear wet wipers■ Cup holder and coat hook■ Auxiliary power sockets■ Lockable tool box

Easy to read dash has long life LEDdisplay and sealed switches for years ofdependable service. Dash includes fuellevel and hydraulic oil temperaturegauges for convenience.

Operator StationComfortable, world class cab offers unmatched ease of operation.

Power TrainCaterpillar hystat power train delivers aggressive performance and easy operation.

Two-speed closed-loop hydrostatictransmission delivers smooth transitionfrom full rimpull to runout. Preciseinching control and smooth accelerationminimize operator fatigue.

Limited slip front differential providesexcellent traction in a wide variety ofworking conditions. An optionallimited slip rear differential allows themachine to stay productive in the worstunderfoot conditions.

Rear axle oscillates 11 degrees, givingthe machine superior control, stabilityand traction for all operations,especially grading work.

Unique brake reservoir is self-replenishing for maintenance freeservice.

Patented VersaLink Loader Linkage and QuickLock Hydraulic CouplerRobust design for superior visibility, performance and versatility.

Narrow design of the VersaLink loader linkage providesexcellent viewing to each side of the QuickLock coupler andwork tool. Operators can easily see loading and dump targets.

Parallel lift capability allows precise pallet handling,eliminating the need to adjust level while raising the forks.Operators can concentrate on load placement rather than loadleveling.

Long reach lets the operator place loads more easily, whileprotecting the tires and front frame.

Optimized linkage design and powerful hydraulics result inexcellent breakout force for buckets and high lift force withforks. Fast controllable hydraulics provide short cycle times.

Large contact area of the QuickLock hydraulic couplerabsorbs impact loads. Wedges with check valves keep worktools secure and tight.

ServiceabilityQuick access and superior design make the 902 Compact Wheel Loader easy to service.

Ground level access is unmatched due to the high opening tilt-up engine enclosure and side service doors. All majorcomponents and service points can be easily accessed from theground. ■ Vertically mounted, spin-on hydraulic oil filter, fuel filter,

fuel/water separator and engine oil filter■ Heavy duty braided wiring harness protects

electrical system■ Radiator fin design is less susceptible to plugging■ Hinged hydraulic oil cooler for easy cleaning■ Hydraulic oil sight gauge and vented hydraulic system■ Air cleaner service indicator is easy to use and reliable

S•O•S valves are standard for easy oil sampling to help protectthe engine and power train.

Caterpillar extended life coolant is standard, offering lowerservice intervals and reduced maintenance costs.

Centralized lube points for major components.

2000-hour hydraulic oil service interval under mostworking conditions.
