Das „caterpillar jahrhundert“ begann eines Abends im mai 1905 - aber eigentlich reichen die Wurzeln dieser Erfolgsgeschichte bis ins Jahr 1886 zurück, als Benjamin Holt und Daniel best bereits gemeinsam innovative Landmaschinen fertigten. 1925, als The Holt Manufacturing Company und die C. L. Best Tractor Co. sich endgültig unter dem Firmennamen Caterpillar zusammenschlossen, hatten beide Unternehmen bereits zahlreiche Erfolge bei der Entwicklung von traktoren, Erntemaschinen und anderen landwirtschaftlichen Gerätschaften errungen. In den vergangenen 100 Jahren wuchs die Produktpalette von Caterpillar jedoch weit über den Agrarbereich hinaus. Das Unternehmen entwickelte sich bis heute zur Top marke in der Branche der Erdbewegungsmaschinen. Für alle Liebhaber von schwerem gerät wie Dampftraktoren, Bulldozern, riesigen Muldenkippern und radladern ein echter Leckerbissen.
