Caterpillar 242B3 Specifications
The
Cat 242B3 skid steer loader is powered by 207.5 cu.in (3.4L) Caterpillar C3.4
DIT four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power
of 71 hp (53 kW) at 2500 rpm. The Caterpillar 242B3 is equipped with a two-speed
hydrostatic transmission, radial-lift loader boom, 80HS continuous roller
chains, and 12x16.5 tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate
of 22 gpm (83 lpm) or 31 gpm (117 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 3335 psi (230
bar). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 2150 lbs (975 kg)
and tipping load of 4300 lbs (1950 kg). The boom lifting force is 4305 lbs (1953
kg), and bucket breakout force is 4507 lbs (2044 kg).
