If you’re looking for more power, greater torque and heavier hauling capacity from your truck engine, you’re in luck.
The Cat Truck now comes with a third option in addition to the CT11 and the CT13…the heavy duty Cat CT15 Engine.
Built from a proven block and crankshaft with billions of miles of real-world experience, this 15 liter is available with up to 550 horsepower and 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque…an ideal combination for tough jobs and demanding environments.
This past April, Carolina Cat invited customers and guests throughout the Tar Heel State to Richard Childress Racing’s headquarters in Welcome, North Carolina, for a Cat Truck event.
The turnout was incredible as over 175 guests enjoyed opportunities to sit in and demo three CT660s that were on hand, listen to several presentations on the benefits of the Cat Truck and to “top it off,” tour the facilities of the five-time NASCAR Cup Championship team.
Carolina Cat’s On-Highway sales rep Steve Goggins presented a history of the Cat Truck and touched on the design, process and the features that make the CT660 so unique, as customers lunched on Carolina barbecue.
Check out some of the photos from the event, and stay tuned for more Cat Truck events across the country that will be posted on the blog and on Facebook and Twitter in the weeks ahead. We hope to see you there.
The best way to keep your Cat Truck operating at peak performance, reduce downtime and maximize resale value is by customizing a maintenance plan with your Cat Dealer.
And if you order a CT660 in 2012, we’ll give you one for FREE. You’ll get all the genuine Cat parts you need for initial preventative maintenance, your first six S-O-S Services samples, your first annual federal inspection (required by the U.S. Department of Transportation or Transport Canada) and condition monitoring via Product Link at no charge.
Here’s something you may not have seen yet…a Cat Truck with a sleeper berth.
Cat dealer Michigan Cat wanted to use the new CT660 to shuttle Cat parts between its various locations throughout the state. Because the territory is so large, drivers need to rest when they’re out of hours.
Michigan Cat contacted AA Sleeper in Fort Worth to install the sleeper berth, then had the truck shipped to Michigan. Looks right at home in front of that wrapped van trailer, doesn’t it? A real moving billboard for Michigan Cat and Caterpillar.
That’s what the author of a new review in the Commercial Carrier Journal says about the Cat Truck.
He took it on a test drive on a mix of Interstate and two-lane highways through the swamps and hills of western Alabama and was impressed with the cab’s comfort, instrumentation, visibility and lack of noise.
He was also a fan of the Cat CX31 Automatic Transmission.
A couple months back, we shared one of our first success stories from the mining industry.
Medford Trucking in Charleston, West Virginia had just put two CT660s to work hauling coal from mountain-top mine sites…and the company’s drivers were raving about the Cat CX31 Automatic Transmission.
Now, Cat Dealer Walker Cat has put together a video showing Medford’s Cat Trucks in action. Check it out!
Two new Cat Trucks are joining Pro Logging, Inc.’s fleet of Cat skidders and feller-bunchers. The Booneville, Mississippi, company plans to put its CT660s to work hauling loads out of the woods.
President Russell Stites says he liked what he saw during jobsite demos arranged by Cat Dealer Thompson Truck Centers: “It’s designed to be a real sturdy truck and hold up to the daily abuse that we have.”
Congratulations to Pro Logging…and to Thompson Truck Centers on its first Cat Truck delivery!
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year…but it was exactly 12 months ago today that we unveiled the new Cat Truck to the world at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2011 in Las Vegas.
So much has happened since then. We’ve seen the first deliveries of the CT660 across North America, given away a truck and met many of you at trade shows, through our contests and online.
This year, we’re looking forward to the launch of a new engine, new maintenance programs and more! But today’s a good day to slow down, take a look back and celebrate all we’ve accomplished.
Do you remember your first reaction when you heard Cat was offering a vocational truck? I’d love to hear it!
That’s how Buzz Berg, owner of Berg Recycling in Baltimore, Maryland, describes his new CT660 with its 430hp Cat CT13 Engine and heavy-duty drive train components…and he anticipates the Cat Truck will be his vehicle of choice as his fleet needs updating.
Berg bought his new roll-off truck (the first sold in Maryland) from Alban Truck Centers and says his relationship with Alban’s Sandy Childs was the primary driver behind his purchase.
It’s true: when you buy a CT660, you don’t just get a powerful, productive truck…you also get the backing of the best Dealer Network in the business!
