Looking to simplify its product lines and streamline production, Caterpillar has introduced a trio of 20-ton-class excavators aimed at a broad range of applications. The company also expanded its offerings in the consumer market with a Cat-branded utility vehicle.
“This is the first major redesign of this product in 25 years,” said Cat CEO Jim Umpleby, who cited the new excavator line as part of a broader strategy when addressing journalists at a Nov. 15 briefing. “I think our team is taking the right direction to help our customers succeed.”
