Across the lineup, Caterpillar emphasizes smarter technology and easier operation. Enhanced displays, intuitive controls, and improved attachment performance give operators greater precision and faster cycle times. Serviceability also advances with better ground-level access and simplified maintenance points that reduce downtime.
Featured model: Cat 253
The new 253 CTL delivers a mix of power, stability, and manoeuvrability for versatile performance. Building on the 259D3 platform, it features a redesigned undercarriage with rigid, frame-mounted axles and a one-piece frame that boosts traction, stability, and grading capability. Powered by an electronically controlled Cat 3.3B turbo diesel engine, it meets Tier 4 Final standards and offers standard-flow hydraulics with optional high-flow capability. A sealed, pressurized cab with adjustable joystick pods, excellent visibility, and productivity-enhancing features like dual self-level and return-to-dig supports comfortable, efficient operation on long workdays.
