Cat 247 expert review

Reviewed by Rizwan R. on January 27, 2026

Overview

The Cat 247B series is an earlier mid-size compact track loader built for higher lift and stability than smaller CTLs. With nearly 953 kg rated capacity, it suits material handling and general site work.

Pros Higher lift than smaller CTLs, stable pallet handling, proven Cat drivetrain.

Cons Older hydraulics feel slower, cab comfort below newer models.

Efficiency

The 43.25 kW engine and 952.55 kg rated lift deliver steady loading, with 3,023 kg operating weight adding stability.

In Cabin

Functional mid-2000s cab with basic comfort and noticeable noise during long shifts.

In Comparison

Compared with Cat 239 and JCB 260, the 247B emphasizes lift capacity and stability.

Final Verdict

A 4-star compact track loader offering extra lift in a manageable size for light construction and material handling.
