Key Considerations 

As you choose the right equipment for managing your property, there are several things to consider. The type of terrain will guide your choices around tracks or wheels. Storage constraints may also influence the equipment size and the decision to rent versus buy the necessary solutions. No matter the unique circumstances you’re facing, our experts at Altorfer are ready to listen to you and help you navigate these factors as you make land management decisions. 

Compact Loaders

Altorfer Cat offers a variety of Caterpillar compact loaders with different horsepower and functionality. Compact loaders can offer flexible, efficient, and cost-effective solutions for various land management needs.

The Cat®️ 239D3 Compact Track Loader is one example of a loader with undercarriage technology and digging capabilities, offering impressive traction and stability.  For vegetation control or mowing, choose the Cat® 299D3 XE Compact Track Loader with its high-flow/high-pressure auxiliary hydraulic system and an engine rated at 98 horsepower. Other options, such as the Cat®️ 259D3, Cat®️ 289D3, and Cat®️ 299D3 compact track loaders, provide vertical lift designs and standard undercarriage systems, letting them easily adapt to various conditions.

Attachments 
You can further extend the usefulness of equipment with the addition of specialized Caterpillar attachments that increase flexibility and possible land management uses. Contractors need access to effective tools that adapt to skid-steers, compact loaders, and excavators. There are several options right at the click of a button

Caterpillar has various tools aimed at the most common land management needs, such as excavation buckets and brooms that pick up and eliminate bulky material. Caterpillar hammers and Caterpillar pulverizers are good for cutting through sturdy concrete. Use our augers to drill holes for new trees, signs, fences, or footings on your property. When snow covers the ground, the Caterpillar snow push attachments efficiently improve ground conditions and reduce any build-up from salt. 

We also have tools designed specifically for your specialized land management needs. Bale grabs and spikes can make it easier to handle bales on agricultural property. For operations that require hauling across dusty roads, consider the Cat Water Delivery System.

Excavators 

When it comes to land management tasks like land reclamation, restoration, or addressing natural disasters such as flood clearing and forest fire recovery, excavators prove to be the perfect equipment solution. Their exceptional capability to navigate rough terrains smoothly and operate effectively within limited spaces makes them highly versatile for various land management operations. Caterpillar excavators, available in four different sizes, offer a wide range of work tools, ensuring ample options to cater to projects of any scale.

Our mini and small excavators are lightweight but solid, perfect for navigating tighter spaces. For a bigger project, the medium excavators offer the power and technology exclusive to Caterpillar excavators. Lastly, Caterpillar wheel excavators are road-appropriate and can maneuver around any obstacle. 

Dozers 

While excavators are primarily used for demolition on uneven ground, a dozer is used for pushing and grading material on leveled ground and can help with any land management project. Like Caterpillar excavators, dozers have small and large sizes that work for multiple projects.

Small dozers will work best for residential projects that optimize mobility and adaptability at 105hp. Large dozers’ modular and power train components are appropriate when more durability is needed. For instance, unlike other tools, Cat®️ DIOT2 Dozer has a CAT C27 engine with a strong net power that persists through tough material.
