Caterpillar, based in Peoria, Illinois, and its German dealer, Zeppelin Baumaschinen GmbH, will exhibit a suite of technologies, services and equipment at BAUMA 2016 under the theme “Built for It.” In more than 8,200 square metres of display space, the company says it will showcase safety, productivity and equipment management solutions, as well as more than 60 Cat products, a large selection of work tools and a full complement of dealer-delivered support services—all designed to make customers more successful.
Cat says its innovation and dealer expertise will feature prominently in the main indoor exhibit in Hall B6. The centre part of the stand will highlight:
