Dumb question. Does Caterpillar itself sells those high reach demo machines or are they made by another company?

They Always built it by thereself. But few years ago they decided to stop building longreach (LRE) and demolition (UHD) excavators. So lot of customers have choosen for an special company for a special machine. STC B.V. of the Netherlands is an Cat OEM supplier and did lot of modifications and built lot of demolition machines last year.

But Caterpillar know have again a own developped and built Highreach Demolition excavator and was presented for the first time on the last Bauma. Now it is ready for production and available for sale. The first one is now working in th Netherlands
