Great Video,my Dad owned and operated heavy equipment for 28 years and Cat was the olny thing he would have.
One thing you left out was Caterpillar purchasing the underground mining equipment manufacturer Elephantstone of Australia. It was a way for Caterpillar to get into the small niche industry that at the time produced about 1,300 equipment units a year. Elephantstone used exclusively Caterpillar engines, transmissions , axles for their machines. I used to work for Atlas Copco Wagner Mining Equipment Co. Australia was a big market for us and Elephantstone was a major competitor. One machine that I think that Caterpillar purchased the rights to was Wagner Mining 645 fullback 3 axle , articulated dump truck. Wagner conceived it from the ground up but do to a lot of issues and to many to go into sold the rights to an undisclosed buyer which we all believed was Caterpillar. Years later I got a chance to look over Caterpillars 3 axle dump truck and saw a lot of similarities to the Wagner fullback.
Watching this machine operate is like seeing strength personified. Absolutely thrilling!
Thanks so much for this great documentary. What a wonderful story of a great company. The Golden Gate bridge is my favourite bridge in the world, and wonderful to hear of the part that the great Caterpillar company played in that construction. The mention of Bucyrus was interesting as I can recall seeing Ruston Bucyrus earth moving equipment working in England many years ago! Well done on this what a fabulous story of success!
Love your content! It’s always fresh and insightful. Keep it up!
Keep it up
The founders would fire everyone in charge now.
There was a man with the initials RG that was the father of construction equipment, no one ever mentiones
Excellent historical video on the founders and where the company is today! I enjoy history and this company has been around for some time!
Психология людей удивительна. Ещё много десятилетий после появления таких машин, люди планировали стратегические действия, так как будто бы этих машин нет.
Прогресс пришёл так стремительно, что психика людей, ранее формировашаяся, тысячи лет не успевала перестроится за пару десятков лет.
Американцы соорентировались раньше всех, быстро поставили машины себе на службу.
А вот, для японцев например, во время ВМВ, было настоящей магией, как американцы строили аэродромы за пару недель в непроходимых джунглях.
This is the kind of history that should have been taught in schools instead of the boing crap shoved down our throats.
Thanks for the nice words!
Update: 2024. Caterpillar looking to quit Peoria/USA production for cheaper labor in Mexico.
