Overview

Woods Work Made More Productive, Profitable and Pleasant

Put the Cat® FM558 to work and experience superior performance and extraordinary bottom-line results. In its size class, there’s no better machine for moving timber. The FM558 has advanced safety and comfort features to make your shovel logging, loading, roadbuilding, and processing work more productive and enjoyable.

Benefits

Increased Power and Efficiency

Easily move heavy timber with up to 25% more engine power and up to 30% more swing power. Heavy lift mode gives an additional boost for larger logs. Up to 15% more travel power gets you to work faster than ever.

Best-In-Class Cab Comfort

Sites where the FM558 typically works are rugged and challenging. That’s why it’s important that the cab keeps the operator comfortable and protected from fatigue, stresses, sounds, and outside temperatures.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

The FM558’s extended and synchronized service intervals mean you’ll be able to spend more time working and up to 15% less in maintenance costs than the previous model.
