Before butterflies can fully revel in the splendor of their beauty and magnificence, they pass through a relatively ugly stage. In this ugly stage, we simply know them as Caterpillars.

These hairy little friends of ours or enemies depending on the perspective you are looking at it, can be found anywhere where there are leaves. Unlike what their size suggests, these insects are voracious eaters. They eat so much that oftentimes, they are considered pests by farmers. With sizes ranging from 1mm to 3 inches, they are definitely cute.

And then there are the bigger, meaner caterpillars. These caterpillars have blades, hoes, tracks and threads on them. They are also faster, with some of them having wheels bigger than a car. No, I'm not talking about a newly released Zoid, not even a new character in Beast Wars. I'm talking about the construction machinery sold by Caterpillar Inc., or better known for its short and easy to remember nick name: CAT.

CAT is the world's leading manufacturer when it comes to construction and mining equipment. They also have a wide array of diesel and natural gas engines, and industrial gas turbines. The company is more than a hundred years now, and has acquired far too many awards to mention one by one. Their products are well known to have minimal effects on the environment, without having to sacrifice efficiency. With these flexible machines, CAT caters to all types of customers. Even the Israeli military have acquired equipments from them that they eventually fitted with combat armor so they can be used in hostile territories.

With branches and acquisitions all over the globe, CAT remains to be a world class company. And if you're planning to build a construction based company, there's only one brand to trust. Look for the nearest CAT office and the moment you see that CAT flag waving, you know you're dealing with top quality equipments.
