Cat Trial 14: After Hours

Caterpillar’s unwavering commitment to customer success has been a driving force for nearly a century. As they celebrate their 100th anniversary, they continue to innovate, adapt, and evolve, always looking forward to the next challenge. Cat Trial 14: After Hours highlights this spirit, bringing Cat® equipment from past and present to life in a nighttime spectacle. This visual display demonstrates how Caterpillar, along with dealers like Fabick Cat, have stood side by side with our customers for 100 years, and how we’re digging in for the decades to come.

A Legacy of Innovation

The roots of Caterpillar’s innovative spirit can be traced back to before the 1920s, with the groundbreaking work of Holt Manufacturing Company and C. L. Best Gas Traction Company. Their merger in 1925 laid the foundation for what Caterpillar is today. Throughout the past century, Caterpillar expanded globally and worked inventively to benefit worldwide customers.

From game-changing products such as the D10 track-type tractor with an elevated sprocket design to embracing technological advancements in automation that improve jobsite safety, Caterpillar has been proactively innovating to better serve you. And now, as they celebrate their centennial in 2025, we’re excited to look back at this rich shared history in the Cat Trial 14 video. Watch as noteworthy machines, including the versatile Cat TH1255 Telehandler and a one-of-a-kind, real-life Power Loader, built by Hacksmith Entertainment, come to light as Caterpillar showcases our past, present and future with you.

Committed to Customers’ Success

As we celebrate Caterpillar’s past, we also look toward the future—a future where Fabick Cat and Caterpillar will continue to help our valued customers do the work in which they excel. With Cat Trial 14: After Hours, we celebrate our customer’s success by spotlighting the rich history of cutting-edge construction technology our joint commitment has allowed us to offer.
