Iconic Caterpillar Models

I stumbled upon this video on the Heavy Steel Marvels You Tube channel over the weekend and thought some of our followers would really enjoy it as much as I did.

Iconic Caterpillar Models

Caterpillar 627 Motor Scraper and D8H dozer (Digger Man Blog Archives)

The video features some of the compilers personal Caterpillar favourites and is not a definitive list by any stretch of the imagination, for instance, there is no mention of the all time classic D9G dozer, D8H dozer, DW20 or 627 motor scrapers, but its an interesting collection of video clips and images on the machines which are featured nonetheless.

The machines that made the cut are, the Cat 225, Caterpillars first ever hydraulic excavator, the iconic 769 off-highway dumptruck, the Side-by-Side D9 affectionately known as the “Double Dude”, the Cat 5230 mining excavator, the Cat 120G motor grader, the Cat 992G wheeled loading shovel, the Cat Challenger 95E and the Cat 345B hydraulic excavator

I’m not a big fan of these robotic AI generated voiceovers, but don’t let that detract from your enjoyment of this video.
