“Our customers have been waiting for these machines for quite a while now after news about them leaked out on social media about two or three months ago,” Ziegler Territory Manager Travis McDowell said. “And they are anxious to get out here and check them out. It’s a complete redesign of our machines, and this demo day gives our guys a chance to get in them and around them.”
The compact track loaders have new features and capabilities such as a lift height of 11 feet for the 265, increased engine torque (up 13 percent for the 255, up 43 percent for the 265), larger operator's station (22 percent more volume), zero-service DPF, Software Enabled Attachment high flow, air ride suspension, and a redesigned undercarriage.
“These new machines have been built from the ground up with the customer in mind,” said Mike Rymarz, the Caterpillar Inc. Sales Representative for Ziegler CAT. “We listened to a lot of feedback, and our engineers did a great job updating these machines from the customer’s perspective as well as for the sales, service, and performance perspective — offering an all-around updated fit and feel for the CAT compact track loaders.”
In addition to getting a first look at the new 255 and 265 compact track loaders, those attending could check out all of the CAT machines and other manufacturer lines of equipment offered at Ziegler, plus enjoy a lunch and free giveaways.
