Building on the success of the widely popular Cat 903D, the Cat 903 compact wheel loader introduces notable enhancements to performance, power and comfort.

Powered by the Cat C1.7 engine, the new 903 delivers 17 % more horsepower than its predecessor.

“ Today’ s 903 has a more powerful engine, improved coupler design and enhanced multifunction hydraulic performance to further the productivity standard for this class size.”
