Cat 988 Carry Loader.

Hi Deas,

equipment catalogue collector Daniel Foged from DownUnder just shared this scan of a 988 Carry Loader from a Danish dealer magazine. Thanks Daniel for the use here! In the same issue, they also portrayed the 992A. When I look at the cab of the Carry Loader, as its operator, I probably would have favored a sideways seat like in a scoop tram.

Hi , here is the spec sheet of this singular loader . It is dated 1970 , so 50 years old . To be honest , I have never met a situation where this machine could axcell . To my opinion it was a tire- and wheelbearing eating machine .
I wonder if one was sold .

Hi Rome K/G,

yupp. If you build a loader like this, then I would turn the seat 90 degrees.

Yea Agreed! This is where the new joy stick controls would be handy, But some of these "operators" nowadays have a hard enough time getting one bucket full let alone two! lol
