Cat 844 expert review
:quality(50)/60957/29d1cdd1-536a-473f-acd1-59aa581d5497.jpeg)
Overview
The Cat 844 delivers 462.34 kW of gross power with a massive 30.7 cu m blade and 70,814 kg operating weight for ultra-high-volume landfill and earthmoving work.
Pros Extreme blade volume, excellent stability under full loads, purpose-built for continuous production.
Cons Very large footprint, high fuel and tire costs, excessive for smaller jobs.
Efficiency
A 30.7 cu m blade dramatically reduces cycle counts on landfill faces and large stockpiles, prioritizing volume per pass over travel speed.
In Cabin
Designed for long production shifts with strong visibility and confident control feel.
In Comparison
Far larger than Cat 834 and Cat 824, the 844 focuses purely on maximum material moved per hour.
Final Verdict
Rated 4 stars, the Cat 844 is a specialized wheel dozer priced between AED 275,000 and 342,000 for mega-scale production work.
