Secure this legendary 1995 Caterpillar 988B Wheel Loader, currently available in East Peoria, Illinois. Operating at roughly 47 tons and equipped with a versatile 7.5 cubic yard general-purpose bucket, this heavy-duty loader is reported to have strong engine performance, smooth shifting through all gears, and tight center pins, making it ready to tackle serious aggregate or quarry work.
Operational Benefits Powered by the proven 375-horsepower Cat 3408 diesel engine, the 988B is famous for its rugged simplicity and massive breakout force. It utilizes a reliable 4-speed planetary powershift transmission designed to handle aggressive, repetitive load-and-carry cycles without hesitation. The included 7.5 cubic yard GP bucket provides an excellent balance for moving a variety of materials, from bank run gravel to blasted rock. Its heavy structural frame and tight articulation joints mean this machine still offers tremendous stability and operator confidence at the working face.

Can I review inspection photos and a condition report before I buy?
Yes. Listings include detailed photos and, when available, an inspection or condition summary so you can see wear, leaks, undercarriage, and cab condition. Ask your representative for the latest meter reading and any service records the seller can provide—hours and condition are often verified at listing time but can change.
Do you arrange shipping or delivery?
Shipping and logistics are often available nationwide through vetted transport partners. Cost depends on distance, dimensions, weight, and whether the machine is running and load-ready. Your sales representative can quote options and timing; pickup at the equipment location may also be arranged where allowed.
How accurate is the hour meter, and can I verify it?
Published hours reflect the last reported reading on the machine or in available documentation. Meters can be replaced or incorrect; we recommend confirming hours with your own inspection or a qualified technician before purchase. Ask whether an ECM or telematics readout is available for your unit.
Is the machine sold as-is, and is there a warranty?
Used heavy equipment is often sold as-is, where-is, unless a separate written warranty or service plan is offered on your specific deal. Remaining manufacturer or extended coverage, if any, may be transferable—confirm in writing. Always review the purchase agreement and inspection terms before committing.
What paperwork should I expect (title, lien release, export)?
Expect a bill of sale and any title or ownership documents required in your state or country. If the unit was financed, ensure lien release is documented. For export, additional customs, EPA, or certification paperwork may apply—your representative can flag what is needed for your destination.
