Caterpillar 545C · 2012 · 10.123 h

Caterpillar 545C Wheel Skidder, year 2012, 10,123 operating hours — a proven grapple skidder built for the most demanding logging conditions, offered in good used condition.

Power comes from the Cat C7 ACERT™ engine producing 173 kW (232 hp) gross (SAE J1995), EPA Tier 3 compliant. ACERT™ technology reduces emissions at the combustion source while maintaining full power output. The automatic Caterpillar lockup torque converter engages and disengages for maximum efficiency, and field-proven high-performance axles keep the machine productive and available.

The sealed, pressurised ROPS/FOPS cab comes standard with air conditioning, an air-suspension seat with 30° swivel, fingertip gear selection, quarter-turn steering wheel and ergonomically placed machine controls — all engineered to reduce operator fatigue on long shifts. The load-sensing, variable-displacement hydraulic system delivers flow and pressure on demand to brakes, steering, blade and grapple, conserving fuel and engine capacity.
