Caterpillar Inc., is an American corporation which designs, manufactures, markets and sells machinery and engines and sells financial products and insurance to customers via a worldwide dealer network.[2][3] Caterpillar is the world's leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives.[1] With more than US$89 billion in assets, Caterpillar was ranked number one in its industry and number 44 overall in the 2009 Fortune 500.[6]

Caterpillar stock is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.[7] Caterpillar Inc. traces its origins to the 1925 merger of the Holt Manufacturing Company and the C. L. Best Tractor Company, creating a new entity, the California based Caterpillar Tractor Company.[8] In 1986, the company re-organized itself as a Delaware corporation under the current name, Caterpillar Inc. Caterpillar's headquarters are located in Peoria, Illinois, United States.[1]

Caterpillar machinery is recognizable by its trademark "Caterpillar Yellow" livery and the "CAT" logo.[9]

History
Main article: Holt Manufacturing Company

Benjamin Holt, one of the founding fathers of Holt Manufacturing Company.

Two Holt 45 gas crawler tractors team up to pull a long wagon train in the Mojave Desert during construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct in 1909.
Origins
The steam tractors of the 1890s and early 1900s were extremely heavy, sometimes weighing 1,000 pounds (450 kg) per horsepower, and often sank into the rich, soft earth of the San Joaquin Valley Delta farmland surrounding Stockton, California. Benjamin Holt attempted to fix the problem by increasing the size and width of the wheels up to 7.5 feet (2.3 m) tall and 6 feet (1.8 m) wide, producing a tractor 46 feet (14 m) wide. But this also made the tractors increasingly complex, expensive and difficult to maintain.

Another solution considered was to lay a temporary plank road ahead of the steam tractor, but this was time-consuming, expensive, and interfered with earthmoving. Holt thought of wrapping the planks around the wheels. He replaced the wheels on a 40 horsepower (30 kW) Holt steamer, No. 77, with a set of wooden tracks bolted to chains. On Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 1904, he successfully tested the updated machine plowing the soggy delta land of Roberts Island.[10]

Company photographer Charles Clements was reported to have observed that the tractor crawled like a caterpillar,[2] and Holt seized on the metaphor. "Caterpillar it is. That's the name for it!"[10] Some sources, though, attribute this name to British soldiers in July 1907. Two years later Holt sold his first steam-powered tractor crawlers for US$5,500, about US$128,000 today. Each side featured a track frame measured 30 inches (760 mm) high by 42 inches (1,100 mm) wide and were 9 feet (2.7 m) long. The tracks were 3 inches (76 mm) by 4 inches (100 mm) redwood slats.[10]

Holt received the first patent for a practical continuous track for use with a tractor on December 7, 1907 for his improved "Traction Engine" ("improvement in vehicles, and especially of the traction engine class; and included endless traveling platform supports upon which the engine is carried".[11]

Move to Peoria

On February 2, 1910,[12] Holt opened up a plant in East Peoria, Illinois, led by his nephew Pliny Holt. There Pliny met farm implement dealer Murray Baker who knew of an empty factory that had been recently built to manufacture farm implements and steam traction engines. Baker, who later became the first executive vice president of what became Caterpillar Tractor Company, wrote to Holt headquarters in Stockton and described the plant of the bankrupt Colean Manufacturing Co. of East Peoria, Illinois. On October 25, 1909, Pliny Holt purchased the factory,[13] and immediately began operations with 12 employees.[14] Holt incorporated it as the Holt Caterpillar Company, although he did not trademark the name Caterpillar until August 2, 1910.[12]

The addition of a plant in the Midwest, despite the hefty capital needed to retool the plant, proved so profitable that only two years later the company employed 625 people and was exporting tractors to Argentina, Canada, and Mexico.[15] Tractors were built in both Stockton and East Peoria.[16][17]

Use in World War I
Holt's track-type tractors played a support role in World War I. Even before the U.S. formally entered WWI, Holt had shipped 1,200 tractors to England, France and Russia for agricultural purposes. These governments, however, sent the tractors directly to the battlefront where the military put them to work hauling artillery and supplies.[18] When World War I broke out, the British War Office ordered a Holt tractor and put it through trials at Aldershot. The War Office was suitably impressed and chose it as a gun-tractor.[19] Over the next four years, the Holt tractor became a major artillery tractor, mainly used to haul medium guns like the 6-inch howitzer, the 60-pounder, and later the 9.2-inch howitzer.[20]

Holt tractors were also the inspiration for the development of the British tank, which profoundly altered ground warfare tactics.[10][21] Major Ernest Swinton, sent to France as an army war correspondent, very soon saw the potential of a track-laying tractor.[22]:116 Although the British later chose an English firm to build its first tanks, the Holt tractor became "one of the most important military vehicles of all time."[20]

Post-war challenges
Holt tractors had become well known during World War I. Military contracts formed the major part of the company's production. When the war ended, Holt's planned expansion to meet the military's needs was abruptly terminated. The heavy-duty tractors needed by the military were unsuitable for farmers. The company's situation worsened when artillery tractors were returned from Europe, depressing prices for new equipment and Holt's unsold inventory of military tractors. The company struggled with the transition from wartime boom to peacetime bust. To keep the company afloat, they borrowed heavily.

C. L. Best Gas Tractor Company, formed by Clarence Leo Best in 1910 and Holt's primary competitor, had during the war received government support enabling it to supply farmers with the smaller agricultural tractors they needed.[23][24] As a result, Best had gained a considerable market advantage over Holt by war's end. Best also assumed considerable debt to allow it to continue expansion, especially production of its new Best Model 60 "Tracklayer".

Both companies were adversely impacted by the transition from a wartime to a peacetime economy, which contributed to a nationwide depression, further inhibiting sales. On December 5, 1920, 71-year-old Benjamin Holt died after a month-long illness.[24][25]

Caterpillar company formed (1925)

The banks who held the company's large debt forced the Holt board of directors to accept their candidate, Thomas A. Baxter, to succeed Benjamin Holt. Baxter initially cut the large tractors from the company's product line and introduced smaller models focused on the agricultural market. When the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1921 funded a US$1 billion federal highway building program, Baxter began re-focusing the company towards building road construction equipment.[13]:66 Both companies also faced fierce competition from the Fordson company.

Between 1907 and 1918, Best and Holt had spent about US$1.5 million in legal fees fighting each other in a number of contractual, trademark and patent infringement lawsuits.[26] Harry H. Fair of the bond brokerage house of Pierce, Fair & Company of San Francisco had helped to finance C. L. Best's debt and Holt shareholders approached him about their company's financial difficulty. Fair recommended that the two companies should merge. In April and May 1925, the financially stronger C. L. Best merged with the market leader Holt Caterpillar to form the Caterpillar Tractor Co.[27]

The new company was headquartered in San Leandro until 1930, when under the terms of the merger it was moved to Peoria.[14] Baxter had been removed as CEO earlier in 1925, and Clarence Leo Best assumed the title of CEO, and remained in that role until October 1951.[23]

The Caterpillar company consolidated its product lines, offering only five track-type tractors: the 2 Ton, 5 Ton, and 10 Ton from the Holt Manufacturing Company's old product line and the Caterpillar 30 and Caterpillar 60 from the C. L. Best Tractor Co.'s former product line. The 10 Ton and 5 Ton models were discontinued in 1926. In 1928, the 2 Ton was discontinued. Sales the first year were US$13 million. By 1929, sales climbed to US$52.8 million, and Caterpillar continued to grow throughout the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Caterpillar adopted the diesel engine to replace gasoline engines. During World War II, Caterpillar products found fame with the Seabees, Construction Battalions of the United States Navy, who built airfields and other facilities in the Pacific Theater of Operations. Caterpillar ranked 44th among United States corporations in the value of wartime military production contracts.[28] During the post-war construction boom, the company grew at a rapid pace and launched its first venture outside the U.S. in 1950, marking the beginning of Caterpillar's development into a multinational corporation.

Expansion in developing markets
Caterpillar built its first Russian facility in the town of Tosno, located near St. Petersburg, Russia. It was completed in 16 months and occupied in November 1999. It had the first electrical substation built in the Leningrad Oblast since the Communist government was dissolved on December 26, 1991. The facility was built under harsh winter conditions, where the temperature was below −13 °F (−25 °C). The facility construction was managed by the Lemminkäinen Group located in Helsinki, Finland.[citation needed]

The $125M Caterpillar Suzhou, People's Republic of China facility, manufactures medium wheel loaders and motorgraders, primarily for the Asian market. The first machine is scheduled for production in March 2009. URS Ausino, in San Francisco, California, manages facility construction.[citation needed]

Caterpillar has manufactured in Brazil since 1960.[29] In 2010 the company announced plans to further expand production of backhoe and small wheel loaders with a new factory.[30]

No problem. Anything below 50k miles SHOULD be clean. ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL. I guess you can go for the blue one advertised up there by OLANSHI. He is a constant on this forum though i have not met him.

In this business, there are 3 variables:

1.Perfect Car

2. Perfect Price

3. Perfect Scenario / Condition

They RARELY all mesh without some kind of "give" on the part of the buyer.

Good luck in your search

USAutoBuy:
Are u still looking for this?

10k mileage will only be possible if on pre-order. They will cost a bit more. A client wants what he wants but there will be no much difference (as far as performance goes) from a car of 10k and 40k miles.

If you TRULY wants something of 10k, you will have to pre-order it. No dealer will ordinarily import such car with very low miles to put on car stand cos it will cost more than normal ones on the stand.

Anything is possible but be ready to pay. Unless you want dishonest dealers who will roll back the mileage to match your request.

If you want to pre-order, we can do that for you. Good luck in your search.

Grace delete and ask for refund sharply......
Stop wasting money.......
Use google, namepros, dnjournal to see whats selling.......
The only secret to success in this business is knowing what sells......
And the only way to know what sells is READ, READ, READ, READ AND READ SOME MORE.
Registering anything that comes to ones head equals gambling and money wastage......
New guys towing this line will not understand all this shout and epistles about reading and making research untill renewals come knocking after wasting $$$ buying garbages.....
When i started, i made all these mistakes and wasted alot of $$$, hence why i'm giving the advice, though anyone could take it with a pinch of salt. Maybe its good to learn the hard way sha.
IMHO, most of the domains being posted by d new guys is just worthless or pure gamble.
Alot of good domains are available for reg, all that is needed is INFORMATION.

Hello guys, 3 days ago I registered a domain using $0.99 promo code successfully. That was the first time I would use a promo code for domain registration, and I don't have to tell you guys how pleased I was to see the debit of just 244.47 naira.
However, since then I have been trying to register a new domain name (that I am genuinely excited about with promo codes) but without success. Why is that? Are promo codes one time offers?

And that is why crime is more in the guy folks; idle minds

domain is quite different from other forms of business in that the opportunity isn't so wide along a vertical. If I reveal the name now and someone goes on to start bidding against me nko and thereby increasing the cost. Sorry, in this game, you don't trust anyone. That's the way we role and you don't take it personal My friend had an $18,000 sale and I asked him what's the domain he sold. He told me he can't reveal it to me. We laughed over it and that's the way we role.

I don't understand the emboldened

the owner of Expireddomains is making shit loads of cash from affiliate earnings.

Also, not only deleted domains. I have a domain on Godaddy auction that I hope to win in next 2 days and if won,it will give me $x, x x x at flippa possibly. I will only reveal it when it sold on flippa.

Usiyaro:
just did mine now after logging into my godaddy account I saw the verification steps including attaching ur I.D, front n back of d atm card, and that printed list inside the envelope d atm came with showing the amount they charged for the atm and you're done. They told me they would get back to me within 24hrs latest 72hrs

Treasure28:
This is a security measure from godaddy to ensure u were the one that actually made d transaction. Snap d front and back of the debit (ATM) card u used for making payment. Make sure u mask (cover) the first 12 digits leaving the last 4 digits on d front of d card and also mask the security numbers at d back of the card. Also snap the front and back of ur valid ID card ( national id or voters card). Send them to verifypayment@godady (dot) com
Hope this helps.

there's no disadvantages just that godaddy renewal fee is a bit higher than other registras for instance godaddy renewal;$14.99 others; close to $10

Are there any disadvantages with using promo codes to register domain names?
