Pictures: Caterpillar's World-Record-Sandcastle Attempt

Top Cat demonstration operators joined a talented team of sand sculptors on the beach in Rio de Janiero to test the finesse of six Cat machines and vie for a world record

Dec 9, 2014

Caterpillar encouraged the world to dream world-record big by building a Guinness World Record sandcastle in Caminho Niemeyer square in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Over the course of 15 days, trucks delivered 49 loads of sand to the site, where seven machine operators and seven sculptors carefully shifted and shaped it into a 41-ft. work of art.
