Caterpillar is an internationally recognised brand that is synonymous with producing high quality construction equipment. In fact, it is the world’s leading seller and manufacturer of construction machinery and a wide range of earth moving equipment, excavators, cranes and variations of tractors for sale.
Caterpillar can trace its beginnings back to the 1925 merger of the Holt Manufacturing Company and the C. L. Best Tractor Company. This merger resulted in the company that we all know and love. The company moved to Delaware in 1986 and re-organized itself under the current name, Caterpillar Inc. The company’s headquarters are now located in Peoria, Illinois, United States. For more than 85 years, the company has been helping cities progress on every continent.
This well-known brand has been supplying South Africa with quality machinery for over 50 years, with manufacturing plants based in the country as well. There are also some historical milestones that the company has reached in South Africa. Namely in 1963, the Orange River power Scheme project had over 300 pieces of Caterpillar equipment working on site. Then again in 1976 these machines were used to construct a 188-km long highway.
