Getting the Work Done

We know the work has changed during the global COVID-19 pandemic, but our customers, dealers and teams continue to rise to the occasion and help. From powering cities to building roads, seaports and so much more – our customers tackled some big and unique jobs in 2020.  

Check out some of this year's stories showcasing our customers and products at work.

Bringing Comfort to NYC

It was a scene watched by people around the world - four McAllister Towing tugboats powered by Cat engines, surrounded by the Coast Guard, escorting the USNS Comfort hospital ship into New York City harbor.
