Caterpillar is a Fortune 100 Company. It is the leading manufacturer of mining and construction equipment, diesel engines, generators and turbines. It has a long, illustrious history of innovation. Benjamin Holt, a man of ideas, solved the problem of unreliable mechanical harvesters requiring long periods out of service when he came up with the idea of using link belts, which could be repaired on the field. 1886 saw Holt’s company sell its first link-bolt combined harvester.
At this time, steam tractors were fast overtaking mule-pulled wagons. Benjamin Holt came up with a number of patented products around this time. The most notable of these was the first commercially successful crawler, which used wing tracks bolted to chains, rather than wheels. In 1904, when the machine was unveiled, it was named “the caterpillar”. It was to revolutionize the agricultural industry. It is this rich history that Barzem has been bringing into Zimbabwe for close to a century.
Those serious about engineering, manufacturing, distribution, industry and related fields, know that caterpillar is the go-to brand. It is a brand to rely on.
