Cat 249 expert review

Reviewed by Adrien E. on January 27, 2026

Overview

The Cat 249D bridges the gap between 239 and 247, delivering over 1,043 kg rated lift in a compact frame. With nearly 100 LPM hydraulic flow and a modern sealed cab, it targets serious material handling in tight spaces.

Pros Higher lift in a compact frame, refined hydraulics, sealed ROPS/FOPS cab with AC support.
Cons Higher ownership costs and slightly higher ground pressure than smaller CTLs.

Efficiency

The 50.04 kW engine and 98.41 LPM pump support buckets, forks, and attachments, with 1,043 kg rated lift and 2,086 kg tipping load.

In Cabin

Modern sealed cab with ROPS/FOPS certification, available AC, good visibility, and intuitive joystick controls.

In Comparison

Compared with Cat 239 and Cat 247, the 249D delivers the best mix of lift, comfort, and compact size.

Final Verdict

A 5-star compact track loader for contractors who need real lifting power without upsizing frames.
