More than 250 guests attended the event, which provided the opportunity to see Caterpillar\u2019s latest compact models. Attendees also participated in an operator contest featuring\u00a0mini-excavators<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0compact track loaders<\/a>.<\/p>\n The new branch joins\u00a0seven CAT Rental Stores<\/a>\u00a0that are situated across the western half of North Carolina. Neil Carbaugh, VP of Carolina CAT\u2019s Rental Services and Compact Construction Equipment, said that while the new branch is similar to many others in North Carolina, it\u2019s focus on Caterpillar\u2019s compact construction equipment line makes it unique. This includes\u00a0skid steers<\/a>,\u00a0compact track loaders<\/a>,\u00a0multi-terrain loaders<\/a>,\u00a0compact wheel loaders<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0mini-excavators<\/a>.<\/p>\n Customers have the chance to get an up-close look at this inventory from the moment they step onto the property with a sizable display in front of the building. Carbaugh said the display allows customers to see the range of compact equipment the company carries. In addition, Carolina CAT also has a dedicated demo area for guests to try out machines as well as other items that the company has in stock, including\u00a0work tools and attachments<\/a>. A dedicated inside sales representative is also on hand to help them during demo and answer any questions they may have.<\/p>\nRichard McKeon, of Construction Equipment Guide, recently attended Carolina CAT’s Open House for their new Compact Construction Equipment and Rental Store in South Charlotte on Friday, June 2, 2017. Here is what he had to say about the event:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\u201cOur focus at this branch is to serve compact equipment clients with sales<\/a>,\u00a0service<\/a>, and\u00a0parts<\/a>,\u201d said Carbaugh. \u201cOn the CAT Rental side, you can still expect to rent everything that you would normally rent from a CAT Rental Store \u2014 from dozers and excavators down to plate tamps and jumping jacks.\u201d<\/p>\n
