History and service record of 987 and 7 related models
- Where the 987 fits. Caterpillar describes the 987 wheel loader as the right-sized production machine for quarry, aggregate, utility mining and block handling, built to lower cost per ton with fuel-efficient performance, long life and extended tire wear. 987 wheel loader, Caterpillar.
- Durability target. Cat's current 987 page cites payloads up to 14 tons and a design life of up to 18,000 hours before rebuild, on a Cat C15 engine with MEUI fuel injection and an ADEM A5 control module. 987 Large Wheel Loader, Caterpillar.
- Buckets shared with the 988 GC. Cat says the 987 shares buckets across its lift arrangements and is compatible with legacy 988 GC buckets, so a fleet can keep its attachments. 987 Large Wheel Loader, Caterpillar.
- Hydraulics and torque converter. The page lists a Positive Flow Control hydraulic system for bucket feel and an Impeller Clutch Torque Converter that lets torque adjust to underfoot conditions to cut tire spin. 987 Large Wheel Loader, Caterpillar.
- Tire pressure and idle management. Standard features include a Tire Pressure Monitoring System with temperature monitoring, Engine Idle Management with Auto Engine Idle Shutdown, and Deluxe or Premium cabs with a powered precleaner. 987 Large Wheel Loader, Caterpillar.
- STIC and transmission neutralizer. Cat's 987 page lists Steering and Transmission Integrated Control (STIC) for responsiveness, a torque converter with lock-up clutch that reduces system heat, and a transmission neutralizer pedal that extends service brake life and allows full power during stationary loading. 987 Large Wheel Loader, Caterpillar.
- Payload weighing. Cat Payload ready weighs the material being loaded and hauled, shows the data in real time to reduce overloading, and the page notes the weighing is not legal for trade. 987 Large Wheel Loader, Caterpillar.
- Safety equipment. Standard safety items include secondary steering, a seat belt reminder with motion inhibit, a rear-vision camera, LED work lights and heated mirrors, with optional Object Detection, Surround Vision and Cat Detect. 987 Large Wheel Loader, Caterpillar.
- Faster oil changes. An optional high-speed oil change system with a remote port and components, Fast Fill and cold-weather fluid options shortens service time, and ecology drains help prevent spills. 987 Large Wheel Loader, Caterpillar.
- Frame and lift arm durability. A redesigned lift arm, crossmember and reinforced frame are credited with longer component life, and Advanced Productivity Electronic Control Shifting helps the loader hold momentum on grades. 987 Large Wheel Loader, Caterpillar.
- Fleet monitoring. Product Link connects the loader wirelessly, VIMS notifications flag problems before failure, and an optional Advanced Productivity subscription reports productivity and profitability data. 987 Large Wheel Loader, Caterpillar.
- Cab controls and keypad. The 987 cab has ergonomically positioned controls with large backlit switches and LED indicators, an updated keypad with a standardized switch layout, and electro-hydraulic controls that reduce operator effort. 987 Large Wheel Loader, Caterpillar.
- Payload and counterweight options. Cat offers payload and counterweight options so the 987 can be matched to the application, and says adjustable ride control suits any payload configuration. 987 Large Wheel Loader, Caterpillar.
- Stairway and mirrors. A standard stairway and access arrangement, heated mirrors and LED work lights are listed for safer entry, exit and night work on the 987. 987 Large Wheel Loader, Caterpillar.
