Tonkin has given me permission to release today and
simultaneously with the official launch in the Tookin Booth (Hall 7,
Stand A51-A) during the Spielwarenmesse 2014 in Nuremberg on
www.minimovers.nl the first pictures of their latest Caterpillar scale
model in 1: 50th Construction Diecast Series:
- Caterpillar 972K Wheel Loader # TR10005
Caterpillar
introduced in early 2011 at the CONEXPO, the newly developed 972K Wheel
Loader as a successor to the Caterpillar 972H in their Medium Wheel
loaders series and is designed to improve operator comfort, performance,
and productivity, all while meeting Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emission
standards.
Caterpillar developed the new optimized Z-bar linkage
in conjunction with the Performance Series Buckets, Fusion™ coupler and
Fusion™ family of work tools to ensure that all components function
together to optimize visibility, performance and fuel efficiency.
The
reliability, durability, and versatility of the Caterpillar 972K Wheel
Loader result in a machine that is better built to meet your needs. All
day. Every day.
