  • TOP.1 Caterpillar

    Caterpillar United States

    Caterpillar was founded in 1925 after its production of track-type bulldozers, motor graders, generator sets and specially licensed engines for M4 tanks were used in U.S. warfare. In the early 90s, a modern production project was launched at a cost of 1.8 billion to make the manufacturing process smoother. In 1985, due to the backwardness of China's construction machinery technology, the Ministry of Machinery Industry of the People's Republic of China decided to set up an office for the introduction of Caterpillar technology (referred to as the Caterpillar Office) and organized 12 domestic enterprises to participate. As a national key introduction project, it is no exaggeration to say that the well-known construction machinery factories in China have received technical assistance from Caterpillar. Today, Caterpillar remains the world's largest manufacturer of construction machinery and mining equipment, one of the manufacturers of gas engines and industrial gas turbines, and one of the world's largest diesel engine manufacturers, ranking 194th in the world's top 500. Technology leadership is Caterpillar's biggest advantage, and it has maintained a leading position in product technology for a long time. It spends 5% of its total sales on technology research and development every year, investing billions of dollars, ranking first in its peers. Caterpillar digs...

By 1978, Komatsu had exported more than 3,000 sets of various heavy construction machinery to China, contributing to the early national economic infrastructure. In 1975, when Premier Zhou Enlai met with President Komatsugawa Eryokachi, he expressed the gratitude of the Chinese people to Komatsu for his contribution to Sino-Japanese friendship by saying that he did not forget to dig wells. From 1979 to 1994, Komatsu successively provided nearly 20 models of construction machinery to China, as well as a full set of manufacturing technology for industrial machinery, laying the foundation for the development of China's construction machinery industry in the future. Komatsu excavator is characterized by economic application, very stable in performance, good mechanical matching, flexible power, excellent hydraulic system, medium to high digging force, average fuel consumption, and the use scenario is biased towards dry and loose work: construction site and earthwork. ...

  • TOP.3 Kato

    Kato Japan

    Kato was founded in 1885 and began producing hydraulic excavators as early as 1967. Kato's biggest characteristic is that he is simple, and he is not as dazzling as Komatsu in terms of corporate history and culture, and he belongs to the type of muffled and wealthy people. Compared to the first two, Kato's digging power is stronger than Komatsu's, but it doesn't have Carter's hard power, so it can be used for digging earth. The quality is stable, the failure rate is low, and the fuel consumption is low. The power is strong, the speed is fast, and it does not decay after many years of use. But the comfort is average, and the bucket is easy to crack when making stones. If excavators are commonly used for digging earth, then Kato excavators are one of your best options. ...
