High Performance Power Train
High performance power train provides maximum performance and production capability through the Electronic Torque Management system, optional two speed travel and an electronic hand/foot throttle with decel pedal capability.
Redesigned Operator Station
Redesigned operator station delivers a larger operating environment. Combined with additional seat travel, the 260 provides more space for operators of any size. The optional one-piece, sealed, and pressurized cab offers a clean and quiet workspace with excellent air distribution through optimally placed vents throughout the cab.
Ventilated and Heated High-Back Air Ride Seat
Available ventilated and heated high-back air ride seat with seat-mounted adjustable joystick controls deliver superior operator comfort.
Three Levels of Auxiliary Hydraulic Performance
Three levels of auxiliary hydraulic performance available, Standard Flow, High Flow, and High Flow XPS. Standard flow for attachments that require a base level of auxiliary flow and horsepower, High Flow boosts the auxiliary flow for applications that demand additional hydraulic flow for increased attachment performance, and the High Flow XPS hydraulic system provides maximum auxiliary hydraulic performance by delivering additional flow and additional pressure for the most demanding attachments and applications.
Electronically Controlled Cat C2.8T Engine
Electronically controlled Cat C2.8T engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards while delivering maximum horsepower across a wide RPM range and providing high torque for increased working performance, no matter the application.
Ride Control
Speed sensitive ride control option improves operation on rough terrain, enabling better load retention, increased productivity, and greater operator comfort.
Advanced Touchscreen Monitor
The 20.3 cm (8-inch) Advanced Touchscreen Monitor offers cutting-edge functionality and control that includes an integrated radio, Bluetooth® connectivity, and multi-camera (side-view) option, and supports 32 different language choices.
Advanced Joysticks
The Advanced Joysticks provide unmatched control of machine functions and adjustments within the display without having to remove your hands from the controls. This includes on-joystick navigation of the Advanced Touchscreen Monitor, radio volume up/down/mute, creep activation, creep on/off, creep speed increment/decrement, one-button Smart Attachment control activation, and additional auxiliary control buttons that deliver single-button control of complex attachment functions.
Ground-Level Access
Ground-level access to all daily service and routine maintenance points helps reduce machine downtime for greater productivity.
Cat Attachments
Broad range of performance matched Cat Attachments make the Cat Skid Steer Loader the most versatile machine on the job site.
