Caterpillar Parts Crate
ca. 1925
Thanks to our vast international dealer network, Caterpillar has long been able to deliver parts to customers around the clock and around the world. We used this wooden crate, featuring our 1925 “Wavy Logo,” to ship parts to a European dealer.

The Caterpillar Thirty track-type tractor was one of five machines in Caterpillar’s original 1925 product line. Thanks to the Cat dealer network, customers around the world could receive parts like this radiator plate wherever and whenever they needed them.
By 1928, the Caterpillar dealer network included 82 U.S. dealers and 58 dealers outside of the U.S. Today, Cat dealers employ nearly 170,000 people throughout more than 190 countries, making the Cat dealer network the largest in the industry.
