1964 Caterpillar 955H Track Loader

Some brands are so iconic that their names become generic terms for the products they represent. The Frisbee, Jell-O, Murphy Beds and Band-Aids have become so well known that even when you’re buying another brand, it’s the original that comes to mind. For nearly a century, Caterpillar – and the tracks that originally gave the machines and the company their name – has been one such company.

The Caterpillar 955 didn't even begin its life as a Caterpillar. It actually owes its design to another company, Trackson, which started out as a builder of tracked attachments for Fordson and Caterpillar tractors. By 1938, Trackson was shipping a "Trackson Shovel option" for the Cat 30 series, which would later be adapted to several D series tractors, such as the D2, D4, D6 and D7. Caterpillar purchased Trackson in 1951, but the Traxcavator name stuck, to the point where the 955, introduced in 1955 (three years after the Traxcavator line ceased to exist) and other tracked excavators, tend to be called Traxcavators whether or not they had anything to do with Trackson design and manufacture.
