Features

High Performance Power Train

High performance power train delivers maximum performance and production capability as well as standard two speed travel.

Redesigned Operator Station

Redesigned operator station delivers a larger operating environment. Combined with additional seat travel, the 270 XE provides more space for operators of any size. The optional one-piece, sealed, and pressurized cab offers a clean and quiet workspace with excellent air distribution through optimally placed vents throughout the cab.

Ventilated and Heated High-Back Air Ride Seat

Available ventilated and heated high-back air ride seat and seat-mounted adjustable joystick controls deliver superior operator comfort.

XE Hydraulic System

The XE Hydraulic System provides the highest flow and highest pressure in the Cat Skid Steer Loader line-up to deliver industry leading hydraulic horsepower to efficiently run even the most power hungry attachments.

High Horsepower, High Torque Engine

Electronically controlled Cat C3.6TA (turbocharged, aftercooled) engine delivers maximum horsepower across a wide RPM range and provides high torque for increased working performance, no matter the application. The engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.

Ride Control

Speed sensitive ride control option improves operation on rough terrain, enabling better load retention, increased productivity, and greater operator comfort.

Advanced Touchscreen Monitor

The 20.3 cm (8-inch) Advanced Touchscreen Monitor offers cutting-edge functionality and control that includes an integrated radio, Bluetooth® connectivity, and multi-camera (side-view) option, and supports 32 different language choices.

Advanced Joysticks

The Advanced Joysticks provide unmatched control of machine functions and adjustments within the display without having to remove your hands from the controls. This includes on-joystick navigation of the Advanced Touchscreen Monitor, radio volume up/down/mute, creep activation, creep on/off, creep speed increment/decrement, one-button Smart Attachment control activation, and additional auxiliary control buttons that deliver single-button control of complex attachment functions.

Ground-Level Access

Ground-level access to all daily service and routine maintenance points helps reduce machine downtime for greater productivity.

Cat Attachments

The broad range of performance matched Cat Attachments makes the Cat Skid Steer Loader the most versatile machine on the job site.
