Norscot’s die-cast model of the Cat® 226B2 Skid Steer Loader offers extensive visual and mechanical detail, plus three interchangeable work tools – a general purpose bucket, a grapple bucket and pallet forks. It also features articulated arms and coupler, rolling wheels and authentic tire tread detail.

Norscot’s model (Item No. 55036) measures 10.80 x 4.76 x 6.35 cm.

“The level of collector value on this model is extremely high, given its extensive detail and interchangeable tools,” said Scott Stern, Norscot’s president and chief executive officer. “It’s unusual to offer such features in a popularly priced die-cast model. The model also prominently features Caterpillar’s new Power EdgeTM trade dress design.”
