Big Cat presence at Bauma 2013

Caterpillar to display more than 70 products along with innovative solutions and services 

CATERPILLAR, in co-operation with their German dealers, Zeppelin Baumaschinen GmbH, will be exhibiting more than 70 machines under the theme ‘Committed to Your Success. All Day. Every Day’. Three different exhibit areas totalling over 12,000 square metres of space will showcase the latest Cat machines, work tools, engines, technology, solutions and services.

The main indoor stand in hall B6 will feature more than 50 machines. With a focus on technology to deliver leading productivity, fuel economy and sustainability, the centre part of the stand will showcase: 

• The new Cat 336E H hybrid excavator that will be launched at the show.
• The 988K wheel loader, also being introduced at the show.
• The Cat  966K XE wheel loader, equipped with an advanced powertrain system.
• The Cat D7E electric drive track-type tractor.

Additional Cat machine introductions will include four mini-excavators: the Cat 302.2D, 302.4D and the compact radius 301.7D and 308E2; the 444F equal-size tyre (EST) backhoe loader; and the D6K2 track-type tractor. The recently introduced 318E hydraulic excavator and M313D wheeled excavator, the 120M2 AWD motor-grader as well as the 91-tonne capacity 777G off-highway truck will also be on show.

Optimally matched with the 777G truck, the 6020B hydraulic mining shovel is a brand new, ‘clean-sheet’ design that will make its market debut at Bauma. With a 220-tonne operating weight and a 20-tonne payload, the 6020B will be the largest Cat machine on display. Designed for simplicity and reliability, the 6020B features a new, state-of-the-art cab design with class-leading visibility, modular construction with walk-through power module for superior serviceability, and a single-engine configuration for superior efficiency.

The broad range of machines on display will also include a full representation of Cat paving products and the introduction of three new models: the AP300D paver and two utility compactors: the CB24B and CB34B XW.

In addition, the following key industry support services provided by Caterpillar and Cat dealers will be highlighted: Product Link, Vision Link, Cat Grade Control, AccuGrade and Cat Certified Used (CCU) equipment.

Caterpillar’s industrial exhibit on stand 316 in Hall 4 will feature a full range of EU Stage IV/US EPA Tier 4 Final engines spanning 8.2–895kW (11–1,200hp). On display will be a C2.2 and C7.1 ACERT engine, in addition to a C4.4 ACERT and C13 ACERT power unit.
