The Caterpillar 255 is a compact track loader with a turbocharged Cat C2.8T engine rated at 74 hp gross, and it weighs 9,578 lb in operating trim. Its rated operating capacity is 2,499 lb at 35% tipping load and 3,570 lb at 50%, and the optional counterweight raises the 35% figure to 2,632 lb. The lift arms reach a bucket pin height of 124 in, with 95.4 in of clearance at maximum lift and dump. That is enough to load trucks and hoppers. Standard auxiliary hydraulics deliver 20 gpm. High Flow models deliver 30 gpm, and High Flow XPS runs up to 4,061 psi. These ratings matter if you plan to run a mulcher, cold planer, auger or similar powered attachment. Tracks are available in 12.6 in or 15.7 in widths, giving ground pressure of 5.9 psi or 4.7 psi. That helps on soft, muddy or finished ground where a wheeled loader would sink or tear up turf. Travel speed is up to 8.5 mph in two-speed mode, and the cab is ROPS and FOPS certified. Contractors, landscapers, farms and site crews can rent it to move material, grade, backfill and run attachments without buying a machine. They get one tracked unit that handles several jobs, so they don't need to hire separate equipment for each task.
Best used for
- Site grading and leveling
- Truck and hopper loading
- Landscaping and turf work
- Material handling
- Attachment-driven clearing
- Backfilling and cleanup
