This photographic essay spans Caterpillar’s equipment line from 1925 to the present, with emphasis on the state of the art, then and now.
The story begins with the Holt Manufactuing Company and Best Manufacturing, two companies that would come together to form the Caterpillar Tractor Company. The firm would eventually become the largest manufacturer of heavy equipment the world has ever known.
Featured equipment includes: Motorgraders • Scrapers (both pulled and powered) • Haulers (including rear and bottom dumps) • Wheel loaders and dozers (including compactors, backhoes and skid-steer) • Hydraulic excavators
