2 DO MORE with ONE MACHINE Attachments add versatility, productivity Compact Track and Multi Terrain Loaders Get the most out of your machine with specialized Cat attachments. This comprehensive line of tools delivers productivity in a variety of applications to maximize the versatility and flexibility of your Cat Skid Steer Loader, Compact Track Loader, Multi Terrain Loader or Mini Excavator. Skid Steer Loader Versatility Instead of buying a new machine, adding one or more attachments enables you to use a single machine to accomplish multiple tasks. For example, some of our customers use one machine equipped with a landscape rake, trencher, broom, stump grinder and multipurpose bucket. Because you can accomplish so many tasks throughout the day, the machine is seldom idle. Productivity Time and again, our customers tell us how much hand-labor they eliminate by using Cat attachments. For example, when using an auger to drill holes for plants ranging from one-gallon on up, a machine often can drill hundreds of holes in a few hours. Rental In many instances, renting attachments makes a lot of sense. When considering the purchase of a particular attachment, you can rent it first to see if it is a good fit for the applications you have in mind. In addition, renting attachments enables you to preserve capital, which can be used for other needs. Simply put, Cat attachments help you work more efficiently and profitably.
