Caterpillar's New Compact Track Loaders

Caterpillar recently unveiled three new additions to its line of rubber-track loaders - 279C, 289C and 299C. These loaders feature a newly engineered suspension-type undercarriage, designed and built by Caterpillar, with the chassis of their multi terrain loader counterparts, the 277C, 287C and 297C. Joining the construction equipment podcast to discuss the new rubber-track loaders and where they fit into the product line are Pierre Verdon Industry Manager North America - skid steer loaders, multi-trerrian loaders and compact track loaders and Todd Lynnes, Product Marketing Manger - skid steer loaders, multi-train loaders and compact track loaders.
