STEINBAUER application
Application in development
Caterpillar 216B Series 3 Skid-Steer Power Module
2.2L CAT C2.2
Increase from 47 BHP to 59 BHP — without ECU remapping.
A STEINBAUER application is currently in development for the Caterpillar 216B Series 3 Skid-Steer 2.2L CAT C2.2. Register your interest and STEINBAUER UK can contact you when development and final validation are complete.
Key benefits
- Up to +25% power and torque increase, depending on application.
- No ECU software overwrite — the STEINBAUER system works alongside the original engine management.
- Injection duration module developed to add performance without generic one-size-fits-all mapping.
- Removable solution that can be removed if required.
- Application-specific development for the individual engine and vehicle or machine application.
- Efficiency — More usable torque can help maintain performance through sustained harvesting, forwarding and extraction work without relying on higher engine speeds, which may support more efficient fuel use.
Actual fuel consumption depends on vehicle load, operating conditions, terrain and driving or operating style.

STEINBAUER Technology
- External ECU technology — Works alongside the original engine management system without permanently rewriting the factory ECU software.
- Load-dependent performance — Additional power and torque are delivered progressively as engine demand increases.
- Application-specific calibration — Developed specifically for the individual engine and application rather than using a generic universal setting.

Developed for sustained forestry load
Forestry applications focus on pulling performance and response during harvesting, forwarding and extraction cycles.
Extraction
Stronger pulling performance when moving timber under load.
Gradients
More usable torque on steep and difficult ground.
Hydraulic cycles
Improved response during repeated harvesting operations.
Sustained load
Progressive output for long, demanding working cycles.
