This awe-inspiring collection covers the largest, top-of-the-line mining equipment in each of the manufacturer's five major classes: haulers, wheel loaders, hydraulic shovels, graders, and bulldozers. Design, development, and production histories are accompanied by the stories of these gargantuan machines in service, as well as details of the Herculean efforts required for their assembly. Incredible modern color photography from both the author and the Caterpillar archives provide shots of the equipment in action and production, not to mention detail shots to help explain their working components.

Excelent book about this subject,
By Dalton C. Rocha (Fortaleza, CE, Brazil.) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Colossal Caterpillar: The Ultimate Earthmover (Paperback)
I read this book here in Brazil.This book is excelent, full of photos(+100 collor photos and about 3 B&W photos) and fun informations about these amazing Caterpillar machines.If you aren't an expert and likes to read about great machines, this book could be good, to you.I loved to read it, because I love to see colossal and usefull man made things.All in this book is fun, but the best is first chapter, about the biggest dozer in the world and second chapter, about the biggest truck of the world.All chapters cover amazing Caterpillar's machines.You must see, this book is to non-expert, such as me.There's not enough economic prices in this book, about the machines showed in it.Another fact, is that this book has a pro-Caterpillar bias.
