Caterpillars were so well known for their dependability,
they were used extensively in World War I and World War II.
Their machines represent handwork and dependability.
The British Army even used the track system developed by Caterpillar
to engineer the first prototypes for tanks.
The 85-year old company has been a household name ever since,
and they are considered the industry leader
for manufacturing mining and construction equipment around the world.
