What's a GC machine?

Basic features don't mean basic performance. When you see the letters GC on a machine, know you're getting the reliability and durability you expect from Caterpillar — plus low operating costs and simple tech.

What's a performance machine?

Don't see a GC or XE decal on a machine? Then you're looking at a performance model. It falls in between the basic features of a GC and the premium features of an XE. You might consider it a "traditional" Cat machine.

What's an XE machine?

Think of XE as something extra. If this machine was a car, you'd probably call it a luxury model. That's because it comes with the highest levels of technology, productivity and fuel efficiency we offer.
