C-Series skid steer loaders feature electro-hydraulic joystick control of the hydrostatic drive system and electronic torque management. For operator comfort, a sealed and pressurized cab and an air suspension seat are available. Additional options, such as High Flow XPS hydraulics on each of the models, enable customers to equip C-series machines for their specific applications. With a rated operating capacity of 3,250 lbs., the 272C is the largest-capacity skid steer loader that Caterpillar has produced. The smaller 262C has an operating capacity of 2,700 lbs. and features vertical lift for enhanced truck-loading capabilities. The 246C and 256C are radial-lift machines with rated operating capacities of 2,150 lbs. and 2,350 lbs., respectively. Caterpillar Inc., Peoria, Ill.
