The Cat® FM568 is the ultimate forestry & shovel logging weapon. With incredible swing torque, track power, lift, and stability, you can reliably produce more loads daily and increase production and profit while counting on outstanding service and support for your business.
The Cat® C9.3B engine and electrohydraulic control system work in sync to help you move big timber without burning truckloads of fuel. Precise engine speed powering a large hydraulic pump gets you maximum production out of each fuel unit.
Move heavy logs easily with more engine power, more swing power and more travel power. Engaging heavy lift mode automatically increases pressure when you need an additional boost for bigger timber.
Experience increased uptime and reduced costs with new longer-life fuel and hydraulic oil filters. Cat® fuel filters have double the life of the previous filters, and the hydraulic oil return filter provides up to 50% more service life.

| Note (1) | Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with fan, air intake system, exhaust system, and alternator with engine speed at 1,900 rpm. Advertised power is tested per the specified standard in effect at the time of manufacture. |
| Note (2) | ¹Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels** up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)* or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations†(SEBU6250) for details. *Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel (for use of blends higher than 20% biodiesel, consult your Cat dealer). **Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from lower-carbon intensity fuels are essentially the same as traditional fuels. |
