Cat’s massive ag-spec 924H loading shovel weighs 11.5t and is fitted with a limited slip-diff on the back axle as well as on-the-fly manual diff-lock on the front.

The 143hp machine is predominantly aimed at the construction sector. However, the company believes it’s ideal for contractors looking to get work outside the silage season on things like beet handling and biogas work.

The 11t machine costs about £90,000.
