The Cat 953C track loader entered the market in 1995 and has proven a big success judging by the estimated 8000 that were produced around globe up until 2005.
The 953C had a wide variety of uses, including backfilling, stripping top soil, landscape contouring, excavating, and truck loading. Ground Engaging Tools (G.E.T.), different buckets, and other assorted attachments allow a multitude of configurations, helping the 953C maximize its performance on any job.
The standard bucket capacity is almost 2.5 cubic yards. Although not as impressive in size as many of the other machines produced by Caterpillar, it still weighs a respectable 16 tons. The Cat 3116 engine is placed at the rear to provide more balance, and moves the machine with 121 flywheel horsepower. Emissions and fuel consumption have been kept much lower in comparison to its predecessors. The hydrostatic drive eliminates the need for manual shifting and allows the 953C to be considerably faster and more responsive than the 951C.
At the time they were produced, the cab was second to none in operator comfort: sound-proof, rollover protected, and air pressurized to keep out dust and moisture. The electronic monitoring system gives the driver quick visual status updates on data related to critical machine functions, including three warning levels in case of a failure.
The 953C was a showcase for the benefits of track loaders, including the high floatation and traction provided by tracks, as well as the load handling of multiple bucket options. Even today, this machine continues to work hard for its devoted owners.
