Caterpillar Inc., widely known as CAT is an
American based corporation dealing with designing, manufacturing, marketing and
selling machinery and engines as well as selling insurance and financial
products to customers all around the world. The brand is very recognizable due
to a characteristic yellow colored design and CAT logo, which can be spotted on
every continent. Caterpillar Inc. specializes in tractors, bulldozers, rollers,
wheel loaders and many more types of heavy duty machinery, but is probably best
known for their excavators.
Caterpillar excavators come in various types and
sizes.
Caterpillar offers excavators in
four different groups: Mini, Small, Medium and Large Hydraulic Excavators but
at all times they can be considered a great investment. Within last few years especially
Car® Mini Hydraulic Excavators became wildly popular among contractors who are
often required to dig in small quarters. Besides, such machines are often
really easy to use, hence require less training. Those excavators are now often
equipped with features that make the work easier and more comfortable and,
above all, possible in places where it would be impossible to use a
normal-sized excavator. The range is also surprising – an excavator of a size
of Caterpillar 304, that is 8.2 ft tall, can reach 10.3 ft deep when digging
with a standard stick – that is impressive.
