CAT heavy equipment now features over 300 machines and features one of the best product support and distribution systems in America . Caterpillar heavy equipment dominates the industry. Many people are confused when we differentiate between regular construction equipment and heavy equipment. When we talk about Caterpillar heavy construction equipment, we are referring to the large trucks and machinery used in forestry, mining, or road, home, and business construction. That does not include tools, lawn mowers or trailers. Instead, heavy equipment is more likely to include backhoes, graders, loaders, excavators, pavers, scrapers, and more. For a complete listing of Caterpillar construction equipment see Caterpillar Machines. Caterpillar Rentals. Because Caterpillar durability is second to none, it is not the cheapest heavy equipment supplier on the market. As a result, it is unlikely that most people will purchase Caterpillar equipment for residential use. Instead, most people prefer to rent Caterpillar equipment. We have found Machinery Trader to be one of the best places to rent Caterpillar construction equipment. Simply select Caterpillar from the list of manufacturers and select the type of heavy equipment you are looking for. You can also contact your local Caterpillar dealer for rental information.
