CATERPILLAR 226B3 SKIDSTEER
CAT SKIDSTEER LOADER
The Cat 226B3 is a compact, highly agile radial-lift skid steer loader designed to deliver exceptional digging, material handling, and site-prep performance in tightly confined commercial and residential jobsites. Driven by a dependable, high-torque Cat C2.2 T turbocharged engine, this machine delivers excellent breakout forces and fast cycle times, maximizing overall efficiency.
Its ergonomic cab is equipped with low-effort, pilot-operated joystick controls to reduce operator fatigue during long shifts, alongside standard auxiliary hydraulics to easily swap and power a massive range of quick-attach rental tools (such as augers, sweepers, and trenchers). Boasting a robust 4-wheel chain drive transmission and built-in anti-stall technology, the 226B3 delivers constant, unyielding traction and power to the wheels when pushing through the heaviest piles.
