Cat 422 expert review
:quality(50)/60958/415fade2-9a12-4cde-97ea-28c91dec6948.jpeg)
Overview
The Cat 422 is built for jobs that demand reach and hydraulic volume more than compact maneuverability. Powered by the Cat 3054C engine delivering 58.17 kW, it offers extended digging depth up to 5.97 m and a high 125.28 lpm hydraulic flow, positioning it between the 416 and 420 for deep utility work.
Efficiency
With a 10,200 kg operating weight and about 4,079 kg of loader breakout, the Cat 422 supports heavy trenching and bulk excavation. A 1.07 cu m bucket speeds loading, while travel speeds up to 40 kph help between-job movement.
In Cabin
The cab is functional with powershuttle transmission and straightforward controls. Compared to newer Cat platforms, comfort feels dated, but visibility remains workable.
In Comparison
Compared with the Cat 416, the 422 offers far greater reach. Against the Cat 420, it trades peak power for extended digging and hydraulic capacity.
Final Verdict
Rated 3 stars, the Cat 422 suits contractors prioritizing digging depth and hydraulic flow, priced between AED 287,000 and 495,000.
