"Caterpillar is committed to providing the best value products for our customers,” Brian Hoop, the Undercarriage Marketing Manager said. “We wanted to use this NHRA event to showcase our SystemOne undercarriage including our new D8 SystemOne iron. We are also excited about the introduction of the new Caterpillar Compact Track Loader and what it will bring to the marketplace for the owner operator. This is our opportunity to thank our loyal customers for their commitment to Caterpillar"
Caterpillarâ is the only company that designs, engineers, tests, and manufactures its own undercarriage systems and components for every Catâ Track-type-tractor and Cat Excavator working around the world. Since introducing its first track-type-tractor in 1925, Caterpillar has continued to innovate and improve undercarriage performance. High-quality materials and carefully controlled manufacturing processes ensure that Cat undercarriage components are reliable, durable, and wear at a balanced rate. And with the introduction of Cat SystemOneä Undercarriage in 2004, Caterpillar continues to be a proven industry leader by increasing productivity while lowering owning and operating costs. Test after test, conducted by independent researchers, have proven no other manufacturer delivers the extended wear life, serviceability and value of a Cat undercarriage.
Fuller enters the fifth race in the Countdown to the Championship ranked eighth in the NHRA POWERade Top Fuel standings. The seven-time NHRA winner and driver of the Caterpillar dragster has one victory this season, St. Louis. He also earned his seventh career pole at the Norwalk, Ohio race in June.
