The one-of-its-kind event happening for the first time, witnessed Al-Bahar alongside Caterpillar, leveraging the platform to demonstrate the most recent Cat® Next Generation solutions and services that help its customers succeed. The theme this year for the Caterpillar/Al-Bahar stand was ‘NEW RANGE. NEW RULES.’; reflecting the idea of pushing old rules aside to make way for new ones with the Next Generation series of Excavator.
The Caterpillar/Al-Bahar stand highlighted how the latest range of equipment from Caterpillar was offering a powerful advantage to its users, in particular to the heavy machinery industry. The stand this year was the platform chosen by Al-Bahar to unveil the two new machines in the fleet – Cat 320 Excavator and Cat 962L Wheel Loader. In addition to these two launches, the stand exhibited a wide range of latest offerings including – Cat 950 GC and 966L Wheel Loaders, Cat D8R Dozer, Cat 340 Excavator, and Cat 239D Compact Track Loader. Cat Connect offerings, including both the technological updates and services, were among the other updates displayed at the Caterpillar/Al-Bahar Big 5 Heavy exhibit.
Next Generation Cat Excavators Taking up the challenge to increase efficiency while reducing maintenance and fuel costs; Cat series of Next Generation Excavators, can be summarised in three primary figures 45-25-15. With game changing attributes the new range of machines offer up to 45% efficiency improvement for the operator, up to 25% reduction in fuel consumption, and up to 15% maintenance cost reduction.
The new range will reflect Cats simplification strategy, which would mean slashing the number of its platforms, cabin types, and air filters by more than half. Customer experience was the priority, while designing the new range of excavators. Helping an average operator to become a great operator, were among the primary objectives while developing the new series.
In addition to enhancing operator skill, the aim was to address fuel and maintenance costs, job site safety, operator comfort, and variations in market requirements, with the new range. Commenting on the industry and the new range, Mr. Samer Ismail, Earthmoving & Excavation Product Manager, quoted, The construction industry is one of the most demanding segments these days. With newer challenging projects and scenarios, the industry is known for its attribute to stay competitive. We understand the industry is in need of revolutionary solutions, and as a leading brand offering construction machinery, we are prepared to help our customers navigate through challenges with the New Challenger range that will help their operations succeed.
