Cat 415 Skip Loader Machine Performance and Capacity

The Cat 415 skip loader is a reliable machine that can handle heavy loads with ease. With a maximum lift capacity of 15,000 pounds, it's perfect for large-scale construction projects.

Its impressive performance is backed by a powerful Cat C4.4 engine, which delivers 114 horsepower. This engine provides the necessary power to handle even the most demanding tasks.

The Cat 415 skip loader also features a spacious 6.3 cubic yard hopper, allowing for efficient loading and unloading of materials. This capacity is ideal for projects requiring large quantities of materials.

Its compact design makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces, minimizing downtime and increasing productivity.

The Cat 415FD IL features a reliable mechanical three-function loader valve, perfect for general-purpose (GP) buckets. This valve uses single-lever control for added convenience.

The machine also comes with a five-function valve for the available box blade scraper, which uses low-effort, pilot-operated controls. These controls feature a conventional operating pattern in a conventional control-console location.

The Cat 415FD IL's implement hydraulic system is load-sensing with a variable-displacement piston pump, producing a maximum flow of 35 gpm (132 L/min.) at a relief pressure of 3,336 psi (230 bar).

The Cat 415FD IL features an ergonomic operator station that prioritizes comfort and ease of use. Ample legroom inside the cab makes rotating the seat simple.

The Adjustable Mechanical Suspension seat provides comfort to the operator while roading. This feature is designed to reduce fatigue and improve overall operator experience.

The air suspension seat is another option available for operators who want to take comfort to the next level. This feature is designed to provide a smooth ride and reduce vibrations.

The operator station is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, with controls and features that are within easy reach. This includes the five-function hydraulic valve that comes standard with the 415 IL.

The Cat 415FD IL's load sensing hydraulics deliver impressive performance. The load sensing piston pump provides full hydraulic lifting and digging forces at any engine speed.

This means you get the power you need, when you need it. Whether you're digging deep foundations or lifting heavy loads, the Cat 415FD IL's hydraulics have got you covered.

One of the key benefits of the load sensing hydraulics is that they match hydraulic power to work demands. This ensures that you're not wasting energy or resources on tasks that don't require it.

The result is a more efficient machine that gets the job done faster. And with the Cat C3.6 engine powering the hydraulics, you can be confident in the machine's ability to perform under pressure.

The Cat 415 skip loader is equipped with a proven Cat engine that delivers solid performance, meeting Tier 4 Final emission standards without the need for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).

The engine options include the Cat C3.4B and Cat C3.6, both of which provide reliable performance. The Cat C3.6 engine, in particular, meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage V emission standards, ensuring environmental responsibility.

Here are some key performance metrics for the Cat 415 skip loader:

The Cat C3.4B engine delivers solid performance and meets Tier 4 Final emission standards, requiring no diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).

The Cat C3.6 engine is a proven performer, meeting both U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards, and also doesn't need any diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).

One of the most impressive features of the Cat C3.6 engine is that it requires no diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), making it a convenient choice for operators.

The operator sound pressure level of the Cat C3.6 engine is 76 dB(A), measured in accordance with ISO 6396:2008, and this was conducted with the cab doors and windows properly installed and maintained.

The exterior sound power level of the Cat C3.6 engine is 101 dB(A), as per ISO 6395:2008.

Here are the key sound levels of the Cat C3.6 engine:

M3 (1.4 Yd3) is a common measurement for machine capacity, equivalent to a volume of 1.4 cubic yards.

This measurement is often used for pin on/bolt on machines, which have a limited capacity due to their design.

For your interest: Skid Steer Loader Bucket Capacity

Pin on/bolt on machines typically have a smaller bucket size, resulting in lower capacity compared to other types of machines.

Their compact design makes them ideal for confined spaces, but it also limits their ability to handle large volumes of material.

The M3 measurement is a useful reference point for operators and engineers working with these machines.
