My grandfather worked for cat for 43 years. Started on the line as a tool and die maker and wound up an executive in Peoria. He was pulled out of retirement twice to close deals in nova Scotia. He was the last one who knew every nut and bolt to every model
You are so wrong I’m sorry you are doing this just for content but if you’re going to put out history, get your facts straight! Stop doing this for the fucking money
I worked in Peoria at plant that made the track shoes for catepillar tractors... then they pulled your grandfather out of retirement and they sent the jobs to mexico... tell your grandpa thanks!!!
My dairy farmer uncle who was born 1918 bought his first new tractor, on 1950, a D2 Cat. It is still running with my cousin, clearing snow around the farm in Hammondsport, NY. .
Operated and owned heavy equipment for 30 years, Cat was always one of the best. Nothing in the world like a mid-sized pay loader, you can do anything.
My experience has been the cat excavators have very weak swing brakes ...don't work after 1000 hours no matter what. We have many cats and many johndeeres and komatsu I will work on the john deere or komatsu first and never tell anyone to buy a cat.
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.
@@Jaksmodteam at Wagner Mining where I worked that was purchased by Atlas Copco they did a development of. 3 axle 45 ton capacity truck back in the 90’s called the fullback. One mistake engineering did because of cost was designing and building the front power frame around only 1 transmission. A German made ZF transmission instead of an Allison. It was junk . They decided to bail on the project financially and sold the rights and design plans to an undisclosed buyer. I think it was Caterpillar because years later I looked over one of their 3 axle trucks on a dealer lot and it looked dam near vary close to our fullback. There was one company that purchased I think 9 of them used and cut and modified the power chassis for an Allison transmission. A lot of these big 45 to 50 ton capacity trucks today look a lot like our original truck. The reason for the ZF transmission was it cost 10,000.00 Less then an Allison.
I worked at Pontiac, IL at CAT in the Fuel Injector Honing Dept, lots of corners were cut and the QC aspect was very low, I tried to tell my supervisor that the guy they had in charge was doing it wrong, but he didn’t care, I quit shortly after, I can guarantee you those injectors are gonna fail prematurely.
Worst company I’ve ever worked for. Absolutely horrible management who treated its workers like a throw away tool. The HR practices are nothing short of predatory. Corporate oligarchy and indentured servitude come to mind. It’s founders would be ashamed of this current grotesque entity.
When i grraduated high school in 77, my parents were hell bent on me going to cat like everyone else. Went in the military instead. Think i got the better deal. 21 years later.
When I started my diesel apprenticeship there were in our shop and after that some of the the following CATS : 12E and more modern 120G graders D7F tractors ( we called them dozers) later D7G ( the best in my opinion) 955 and 977 tracked loaders, after that D8 and D9L , D9G ( bit before, petrol start ) , D9H ..bit like the D7G ...tough. , 235 excavators , 3304, 3306, 3208 engines etc ...the thing that fascinated me were the beautiful hard cover service repair manuals (real thick) and tbe brown soft coved parts manuals...works of art.
As a once driver of a Cat 3406 powered truck I was deeply saddened to what Cat leave the truck market. The government’s constant tightening of EPA standards was brutal.
I know several people who have worked at the Cat plant here. They say it's not a good place to work. Everyone reports for work on Monday morning. At that time you are told what you schedule will be. Some weeks you may only work 8 hours, other weeks 60 or 70 hours. Some people get sent home with no work at all.
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!
Thanks for sharing this exciting story of CAT. It is quite fascinating to see that a successful business is not without challenges in and outside the company.
Tragedy and luck. Uncle Ben, the inventor, has his engineering plans stolen by former employee and then he dies. Bankers take over HIS business and lands a big government contract. Thanks for sharing.
My grandfather worked for Cat in York Pa and I remember the strike they had when I was younger. Cat and Harley Davidson were the two major companies in the York Pa area growing up they paid so well until they cut jobs and left the area.
I worked at Atlantic Wood in GA. (Yes, that Atlantic Wood, the most expensive super fund site in the United States.) I started in 1992 scraping pine trees. By 1994 I was getting a tast of operating large equipment. In 1995 I was the youngest state certified front end loader, I was given a old Kawasaki 80z3. I was only allowed 2 trips to unload each truck as it comes in. Then in 1999 we switched to Cat equipment. I got a brand new cat 993, I could unload 40 thousand pounds of trees in 1 load. I had AC, radio with a CD player, a built-in refrigerator and a seat that adjusted itself to the movement of the machine. When the epa shut us down I cried because I would never get to operate that exalent machine again. The feeling I got by grabbing an entire load of fresh cut 70 to 100 foot long pine trees and moving them to the plant never got old.
GM saw the end of EMD, because of EPA coming down hard on 2 strokes. Under Cat, virtually all new EMD's are exported, or re-powered with Cat 4 strokes. A couple have Cummins, and (choke), even GE engines. But, it looks like GE (Wabtec) pretty much forced the EMD out. Sure prefer the sound of the EMD's, tho. Same story for Detroit Diesel 2 strokes. Owned by MTU of Germany, now. .............................. EMD 1010 engines, meh!
yea, came here to say that. What gave it away for me was when he as about the 17 months period when the workers struck and right after got right back to ass kissing the corporation in the same sentence :)) Not only it;s AI written but AI voiced as well, wish there would be a way to report this kind of shit.
No one even pronounces it as A.G.C.O, its AGCO Allis Gleaner Corporation. Bucyrus was also another one. I get that some have a speech impediment, but this is straight up using a machine to enunciate.
I deliver diesel to job sites. Most guys can name Cat's by model number by memory, for example they'll say, the D90 needs fuel, the 980G needs fuel, the 330C... It shows how frequent Cats are used.
You completely missed Hoover Dam and I think you got some dates wrong . I was a Caterpillar Employee pretty short presentation . But good to the point .

This is NOT, by any means, the "complete" history of Caterpillar -- there is no mention of Peoria/East Peoria Illinois? I grew up in Peoria in the 50s and 60s, and half the adult men I knew worked for Caterpillar (technically in East Peoria with the main offices in Peoria). Caterpillar so dominated Peoria and East Peoria (on opposite sides of the Illinois River) that special traffic laws applied to the main arterials that served the bridges between the two cities, during the times of Caterpillar's three shift changes per day. When Caterpillar shut down for two weeks in the Summer for vacation (everybody at Caterpillar got two weeks of vacation, all at the same time), many of the retail businesses in Peoria (and, I assume, East Peoria) laid off up to half their workforce. The massive, sprawling East Peoria facility took in pig iron and turned out all manner of finished Caterpillar products. When OSHA came into being, they labeled that complex the safest industrial workplace in the Country. (Across the river, Keystone Steel and Wire Company was the most dangerous!) Anyway, you left out a huge and important piece of the "complete" history of Caterpillar.
You have to see their machines u0 close to appreciate them. Im a Mill Wright and worked around logging,steel mills and alot of new construction. They are built to move and get a job done . That they do. I did a walk through in the Arkansas plant. When i was in college. In 90-91. Impressive then. Employees not being treated well? That is a shame for an iconic American legend.
Don't forget The giant earth moving machines, built by r g liturno, used cat engines from the very beginning. R g moved his plant from stockton, california to peoria, just to be next to cat.
Cat is one of the most exspensive brands in the world. There are a lot of other good brands around that are a lot cheaper and more reliable. Don't buy a Cat because of the name, look around and you will be surprised
And not once did they bother to mention, the very popular,very loved highway diesel engine for the trucking industry.the popular 3406,3408,3117,3126 c12,c15,and one of my favorite electronic ecm 600hp 2050ft lb tq C16 these engines were at the top as the best diesel engine ever produced for horsepower , torque and overall durability and longevity. Around 2011 or so they stopped producing highway engines for the trucking industry due to not being able to produce a diesel engine that was environmentally compatable with the new epa laws...Cummins diesel engines have always been another great engine and continue to produce mass quantities of the popular x15 and seem to have about 85%of trucking industries sales in highway engines as of 2024.no more torque monsters...
I worked in Lafayette, IN Large Engine Center for 89 days. On the 89th day they permanently laid off everyone in my entire crew and myself, 15+ people. What a waste of time to hire people for such a short amount of time. P.S. 3 months later they were hiring for the same positions again.
This video shows no actual production steps thought, just that there were large tractors that seems to appeared from nowhere. That's whats also always in my mind when I sometimes stop at these devices. It must be a miracle, for example. There are thousands of these in videos where metal ores are gathered in Australia etc, leaving idea that they gathered ores somehow before these existed, and switch to these machines when they were built, without leaving me an idea, how?
