PERFORMANCE DURABILITY VISIBILITY FLEXIBILITY

Caterpillar® is proud to introduce its new, state-of-the-art coupler system:

Fusion™Leveraging its rich history of designing and producing wheel loader couplers in the market,

Caterpillar is leading the way in enhancing coupler solutions for its customers for years to

come. Coordinated design and development with the wheel loader engineering team, Fusion

changes the landscape and opens new possibilities. Expect performance, unsurpassed

durability, improved visibility and expanded job site fl exibility.

Expect the Power of Fusion.

Improved Machine

PerformanceNew, patented Wheel Loader interface provides coupler fl ex-ibility with performance virtually identical to pin-on.

Unsurpassed

DurabilityAdvanced wedging mechanism creates a tight, rattle-free fi t. This patented lock up system elimi-nates play and wear — resulting in a long service life.

Increased

VisibilityA new, open coupler frame design opens sight lines from the operator’s seat, making it easier than ever before to engage and disengage attachments with certainty.

This expanded machine compatibility not only allows one one work tool to be used by a host of different machines.

enhance ease of use for coupling and uncoupling in ideal and less-than-ideal conditions.

Integral check valve

keeps cylinders locked in place — even if hoses are compromised.

Separate Fusion control circuit

keeps third valve free for running other attachments.

PERFORMANCE: Fusion coupler sits back, close in to the loader arms — minimiz-ing offset, promoting increased machine performance.

DURABILITY: A tight fi t is achieved by cylinders driving wedges down and into coupler pockets on the attachment — elimi-nating rattle, premature wear and increasing the life of the coupler. A long cylinder strong keeps wedges tight for the life of the coupler.

VISIBILITY: Open frame design substantially increases operator abil-ity to see from the cab to the tip of the fork tine at ground level and truck bed heights.

“With this setup... everything is so tight... it’s almost like running a new machine again... It just stays tight.”

“I don’t think you would know the difference if it was mounted or there was no coupler at all when you’re driving over the road. It’s not shaking around. It feels like it’s actually on the machine like you had no other attachments. Each one that you have on there feels like it’s meant to be that way.”

Tim Deskin, Dalling Construction Operator
