About the Cat 980
The Cat 980 gives contractors a high-capacity wheel loader option for jobs where loader production has a direct impact on the schedule. It is built for moving large volumes of dirt, gravel, sand, base material, aggregate, debris, and other bulk materials across active construction sites, material yards, roadwork projects, and industrial locations.
This machine works well on larger commercial construction sites, aggregate yards, industrial facilities, roadwork support projects, utility jobs, and heavy site development work. Crews can use it to load trucks, manage stockpiles, move base material, stage materials, support backfill, and keep cleanup moving across larger work areas.
The Cat 980 is useful when smaller wheel loaders require too many cycles to keep up. Its value is in improving loading efficiency, reducing repeated trips, and giving crews a stronger material handling machine for high-volume jobsite demands.

- High-production jobsite material movement
Why Rent This Wheel Loader?
Renting the Cat 980 helps contractors solve short-term high-volume material handling needs without adding another large wheel loader to the fleet permanently. It is useful when a project needs more production than smaller loaders can provide, when owned equipment is already committed, or when the job requires a temporary increase in loading capacity.
The Cat 980 can also help prevent under-sizing on jobs where loader output affects truck cycles, stockpile management, and overall site production. If the loader is too small, crews may lose time through slower loading, repeated trips, and inefficient material staging. The Cat 980 gives contractors a stronger rental option for jobs that need steady loading capacity and high-volume material flow.
