Meet the New Cat® 275 CTL: Power and Precision for Every Job
Efficiency, power, and reliability are key to keeping projects on schedule. Caterpillar has taken compact track loaders to the next level with the new Cat 275 Compact Track Loader (CTL)—designed to help you move more material, work faster, and tackle even the toughest jobs with ease.
What Sets the Cat 275 CTL Apart?
The Cat 275 CTL isn’t just another compact track loader—it’s a game-changer for businesses that rely on versatile, heavy-duty equipment. Here’s what makes it stand out:
- More Power, More Performance
With a 111-horsepower Cat C3.6TA turbocharged engine, the 275 CTL delivers a 50% increase in torque compared to its predecessor, the 299D3. That means more pushing power, more lifting capacity, and more efficiency in every job. Whether you’re moving heavy pallets, grading a worksite, or clearing debris, the 275 CTL is built to handle the challenge.
- Increased Lift Height & Capacity
Need to load trucks or stack materials higher? The 275 CTL has an impressive 134.4-inch lift height, 8 inches higher than the 299D3. Plus, with a 37% increase in tilt breakout force and 19% more rated operating capacity, you can move bigger loads without sacrificing stability.
- Comfort That Keeps You Productive
Long hours in the cab? No problem. The 275 CTL features a 22% larger operator station, an advanced high-back air ride seat, and a 59% larger rear window for better visibility. Add in the 8-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth® connectivity, and intuitive controls, and you’ve got a machine that makes every workday more comfortable and efficient.
- Tough Undercarriage for Any Jobsite
The 275 CTL comes with an equalizer bar (E-bar) undercarriage system, providing superior traction, stability, and flotation on all types of terrain. Whether you’re working on mud, gravel, or soft ground, this machine gives you confidence and control.
- Hydraulics Built for Versatility
With three hydraulic flow options—Standard Flow, High Flow, and High Flow XPS—the 275 CTL supports a wide range of attachments. From brush cutters to augers and grading buckets, you’ll have the power to get the job done efficiently.
Why the 275 CTL is a Smart Investment
For businesses that handle tight worksites, diverse tasks, and fast-moving schedules, the 275 CTL is a powerful and efficient choice. It provides the lifting power of a larger machine in a compact footprint, ensuring you can move through jobsites efficiently without compromising performance.
With Caterpillar’s proven reliability and Ziegler CAT’s unmatched support, you’re not just buying a machine—you’re gaining a trusted partner in your business’s success.
