Dive into the groundbreaking features of Cat's next-gen 255 & 265 compact track loaders, bringing unmatched lift & tilt forces, torque, and innovative designs to enhance your projects.

Revolutionizing Compact Track Loaders: Caterpillar Launches Next-Generation Cat 255 & 265

In the world of compact track loaders, Caterpillar has perpetually set the bar high. Yet, the unveiling of their new generation Cat 255 and 265 models nudges that benchmark even further, promising mix of enhanced performance, operator comfort, and technological prowess.

Uplifting Performances with Power and Precision

“Both next-generation models leverage the many benefits offered by the vertical lift design,” shares Trevor Chase, a specialist at Caterpillar, illuminating the luminous journey from the much-acclaimed D3 series to the modern marvels - 255 and 265.

While the Cat 255 takes the torch from the 259D3, its sibling, the 265, stands tall as the successor to both the 279D3 and 289D3 machines. Boasting impressive specs such as a torque increase of up to 43% and lifting capacities that make even the heaviest of payloads seem feather-light, these machines are engineered to foster efficiency and robustness on every ground they tread.

Tilt and Torque: Behind the Technical Mastery

The new models, propelled by Cat C2.8T and Cat C2.8TA engines, exhibit horsepower that maintains stability across an expansive RPM range. The 255 and 265 not only retain but enhance the reliability and power Caterpillar’s predecessors were known for—facilitating operators to maneuver through demanding tasks with increased stability and confidence.

A Haven of Comfort and Control for Operators

Operators are treated to an expansive cab design, presenting a 22% increase in overall volume and a 26% upgrade in foot space. These redesigned cabs, focusing on ergonomics and spaciousness, serve as comfortable control rooms, ensuring that operators can navigate through the most challenging tasks with ease and precision. The added technological interfaces, from a 5-in standard LCD monitor to an 8-in advanced touchscreen monitor, offer top-tier level of control and customization, navigating through 32 languages and providing a seamless integration of functions.
