Гусеничные мини-погрузчики

Established in 1999, the Caterpillar production facility in Sanford, NC, recently reached a significant milestone when the 250,000th machine manufactured at the facility rolled off the assembly line. That machine, a Cat® 299D2 XHP compact track loader, with custom paint and commemorative emblems was created to celebrate the occasion and will be prominently displayed at two important industry events, the Green Industry & Equipment Expo (GIE) and CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017.

The very first machine off the production line at the Sanford facility in 1999 was a rubber tire skid steer loader, which brought industry-leading features to the market, including intuitive, operator-friendly, hydraulic joystick controllers that replaced the more common mechanical controls used by competitive machines, says Gareth Jones, Engineering Manager.

Now, 17 years and 250,000 machines later, production capacity at the Sanford facility has increased significantly—and the machines produced there have also changed significantly.
