Caterpillar 966 vs Volvo L150H
The Volvo L150H is about 5% heavier than the Caterpillar 966 (25,000 vs 23,750 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
Engine output is effectively the same on both machines.
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Caterpillar and Volvo Construction Equipment in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
